If you have a good transmission in that Dynasty you'd do better to list it on the junk and parts cars section of Ebay and purchase an old pickup truck with the proceeds.
Junkyards often use passenger cars as parts runners/self propelled torch carts but they usually just unbolt trunk lids and pop out the windows. Some of the older station wagons could make good pickup trucks( I had a Pinto pickup for quite a while) but I don't know how the Dynasty would fare if cut into a pickup. I have driven a friend's Dynasty on the street, and they are quite the little rocket ship with the right motor. Ground clearance is not very good, so if your farm paths are pretty rough, a pickup truck might be better. Many of the Toyotas and Nissans can be jacked up easily by adjusting the torsion bar stops, and modifying leaf springs. American pickups are usually plenty high on their own and just need a good set of snow tires on back.
Sounds like an episode of Junkyard Wars is in order......
