Because, unless I am mistaken, if you design it to flex you will need a flexible coupling between the cab and the back body. Unless, maybe, if you make the entire new body one unit from firewall to tailgate, and that unit itself is mounted to flex with respect to the frame.

Heath, weren't you going to come up with some sketches in one of those threads? I don't fully understand why the body could not be architected to eliminate the flex problem. If a good structure was tied into the frame, would that not solve the flex problem, at least for modest off-roading?

You are losing a lot of room with that slant back. Respectfully suggest squaring it off or adding a one or two foot observation deck to the back, just like an old time rr car. Would provide space for a spare and rain protection when using the back door.
