Hay I got a swb sierra soft top and thinking of choping it to a ute seen heaps of pics but haven't really looked at how hard it is ie body mounts ect is it really worth it or just easyer to find a sierra ute?

With the roof off, a soft top sierra is pretty much a ute anyway? There's just not much space back there =)

IMO, get one of these:

1.3L EFI engine, 4WD, decent enough payload, aircon...

why?

The arches clear 15" rims off a swift sport. That's plenty of clearance for general offroad work, and it's already a ute.

They're actually great fun to drive as well.. I reckon more fun to drive than my sierra personally!

I can't operate the stupid search function on this site, I've been trying to find the video that someone posted recently of one of these things nearly doing front flips in a 4wd park.
Looked like great fun.

Searched the whole site for references to pootube....

It was posted somewhere random (like most things these days), but it's not worth wasting more time looking for it. I have better things to do while I'm procrastinating at work...
