Yes. B series body to FFPW chassis is one way I`m looking at this project.

Unfortunately Australia never recieved the C-series, nor any other US-Canadian models after 52.
We kept on with modifying the B-series until 62(refer, http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/garage/garage.htm)

Apart from some limited import of FFPW`s, (maybe 100) and a short run of locally remodeled FFPW`s(about 40) with right hand drive and 251 engines in 1957-58, we did not see a Dodge 4x4 untill about 64 when the Chrysler Australia-International(long story) joint veture started to produce some 4x4`s. These OZ 4x4`s trucks are hard to find, specially in the smaller sizes. They were usually sold for fleet sales only.
The small trucks cost wise suffured against Landrover and Willys which were localy made at the time, and Toyota had started to make its presents felt.
