Not me no, but whoever did made a good job of it

the tunnel area in the cab is modified and the floor in the tub is higher than a standard series to allow for the chassis, modified mounting points for the body

um,

not got to that yet, would be easier to just make a new one i think, thats what i think im going to do pretty much, or mix and match, especially as iv got a 2.8td going in so can't use exsisting wiring.
