An old member (Harko, now hangs out at the FB/EK forum) started a wagon (never finished?) but was very secretive about the chassis he used. I've heard there's a Jap chassis that does the job.

Well, I can tell you what chassis was used, as I put him onto it.
It was a Toyota Crown chassis.

Hi Gaz,
I just picked up a HQ one toner chassis to drop an EK cab on top off, wheel base 80mm longer and cab has about 10mm clearance over rails and measures 80mm front wheel track difference.
