Do you mean put the tercel wagon unibody on a hilux frame?

Sure, why not? :P I say give'er!

Seriously though, it sounds like a huge amount of work to me, but if you have the time and resources, it would be an interesting project. You would need to be a pretty talented fabricator.

If you can remove the cab and box from the hilux frame, but leave the chassis, suspension, and drive train in it, then it could possibly work. Just do whatever modifications are necessary to place an empty tercel unibody ontop of the hilux chassis. You'll probably have to shorten/lengthen, widen/narrow the tercel unibody appropriately. And attaching it to the hilux frame will be extremely challenging to say the least.

Send us pics if you do it!

PS: Typically the people who have to ask these types of questions don't have the ability to do the job.
