Just curious, the FB/EK utes seem to have the same rear sheetmetal as the FE/C utes. Could you change an FB/EK ute into a FE/C ute by changing the front panels?
Not easily. The floor, subframe and so on are identical, but the front windscreen and pillars are very different in the FB/EK models, and this affects the shape of the bonnet and cowl a great deal. I'd keep looking for an FE or FC shell...
