I don’t know why but I like effort.
I’d guess the jeep body was rusted out and the seller had access to a Toyota body, but who knows?
There was a company that converted Datsun 620 pickups with Jeep running gear back in the day (pic) https://i.pinimg.com/736x/25/61/f0/2561f080e757f6a996cba840b4c45733.jpg
How did you know that cool fact?
When I first looked at the yellow truck, I thought that was a Datsun rather than a Toyota.
I’ve been into cars and could ID them and have read magazines since 3rd grade and have a sharp eye for details and odd stuff. The Datsuns show up for sale every couple years. I got to lay underneath one about ten years ago.
