Can you Convert a hardtop van to a pickup ?

Hello landy lovers ,

I am new on here and looking for some advice.
I am planning a landrover pickup . It's more of a usable project but most of the decent priced landrovers and in good condition seem to be the hardtop vans.
Is it possible to make a hardtop van a pickup? What's involved and what's the best web site to price parts?
Thank you

Gary

Off the top of my head you need a new back door, short roof and the back panel with corner bits

its a straight forward job ,it would be worthwhile getting new seals for roof to windscreen ,body to truck cab ,leave all bolts loose till you get door gaps right ,rear door can be cut down to make side opening tail gate or you can get drop down one but you may need hinges welding on and antiluce pins for the top
