I think someone beat you to it
I was actually trying to find the pic of the w123 300td grafted onto a Nissan 4x4 chassis that a guy I knew from the old mbz.org list had. He used it as a daily driver in northern california. The guy who built it had also done at least one Volvo 245.
But I found this: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/open-discussion/159298-redneck-mercedes.html And THIS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/edheil/3229571125/ (Which I must admit I like) Ah, finally found it, on the blog of the guy who built it.... http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://daddytypes.com/archive/4x4_mb_300td.jpg&imgrefurl=http://daddytypes.com/2007/03/09/homebrewed_family_4x4_nirvana_mercedes_300td_volvo_245.php&usg=__OsPFLWsX-DJKFYopD9PL03Jk4ig=&h=189&w=341&sz=32&hl=en&start=1&zoom=1&tbnid=7vKIDCU7FiZU4M:&tbnh=67&tbnw=120&ei=2zGLUJODDeng0gGO7YC4Bg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmercedes%2B300td%2B4%2Bx%2B4%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1

Looks like a Euro NA OM617, and that pan probably isn't optimal given that it appears to be all aluminum. Typically these engines use a steel bottom pan that would be better for off-roading. Personally, I would hold out for a turbo 617 engine

yeah, totally an N/A engine. Note the lack of an ALDA.

was able to fix some of the pics on this page ...
here is more progress .. and i threw the cab back on it to test the tranny and clutch .. seems to work good . not lacking any power but it doesnt weigh anything either .. next step is to pull cab . install new clutch , and start stripping the car body .

Well it fits! Is there still a big hole in the transmission casing near to the starter?

Oh I thought you might be able to tack (weld) a nut to the other side of the adapter plate you made and then you've got a similar to stock fixing situation.
