This isn't necessarily about a dream car but about some crazy idea you've had about any car you've seen on the road.

For me I would love to get an old mail truck (Grumman LLV) swap in a old wrangler drivetrain to get 4wd plus the high/low range manual trans and turn it into a kind of mini camper in the back. Although just for kicks I was looking at some stuff and mail trucks are supposed built on a chevy s10 chassis so I'm kind of wondering if s10 4wd components would work better. I just think it would be awesome to drive around it one of those mail trucks lifted maybe even a custom paint job, you could probably even do a pretty sweet boat tail on the back.

So that's what I want to do. How about you?
