Hey guys was wondering if anyone out there has seen a mk swb chopped into a flat tray

I've seen it done with zooks. Generally doesn't add functionality and looks out of proportion.

If you stretched the wheelbase that's a totally different kettle of fish.

I've seen a couple of GQ SWB that have been chopped or cab swapped into a ute, which would look the same except for the coils and flared guard, I actually think they look pretty cool and unique, here's a couple of pictures I've just found with a quick search:

It has been done.

I own both a ute and a few shorties, and there is no way that I'd do it. Its a lot of time and effort to get a terrible driving position if you're over 5' tall combined with a terrible cargo capacity.
It's combining the drawbacks of both vehicles into one.

All good mate, keep in mind what James has said though, MQ/MK utes have terrible driving positions even compared to GQ utes since the factory walls don’t have the bubble back, and you’ll have less storage space than a lwb Ute or swb wagon. If you’re fabricating your own back wall you can probably get around the bad driving position, or even just use the rear wall from a GQ, should fit right up to the rear of the MQ body.
