MN is a "VIN/title follows the body" state. So, no fun car on truck frame shenanigans for me, sadly.
Also there's a turn signal bulb out, so that one's no good. <turns up nose snootily>
I can't find it, but there was a movie involving mining where the lead guy cut the back off a Rolls or Bentley or similarly fancy car, put a back on it behind the front seats to enclose the "cab", and added a 5th wheel hitch to the exposed frame. Used it to haul an ore trailer. "You cut up the car!" "We needed a truck." "But you cut up the car!" "I can put it back later."
