i also think it would be a great feature to have the node->body as an options to convert textfields to.

Subscribing. I'm converting a node type w/body field into a CCK text field of a node type that has no body field.

Added basic appending and replacement of body with chosen fields to DEV. Currently tested only with simple text fields. So textfield, textarea, numbers should basically work.

converting a cck-field to the body doesn't work for me.
At the original content-type the body-field was disabled. At the new content-type the body-field is available.
The contents of a cck-field in the original content-type need to be stored into the body-field of the new content-type. But this doesn't happen.
I tried using the replace function as well as the append function.

Do you know why this is going wrong?

I'm reopening this issue because of #9 and my own reverse problem. My orgin source has a body field but in my destination one does not. It still converts but the information is put in the hidden (removed the body title in CCK) body field.

Any news on this - need to convert a body field to a cck.

@hixter
Your safest approach is:
1. exporting your nodes with node_export (as CSV).
2. Altering the CSV so that the contents of the body field are now in the column for the CCK field.
3. re-importing the nodes as the new content-type.
4. unpublishing or deleting the old nodes.

Hope this helps you.
