Drowning deep in my sea of loathing...so I'm
Well I saw this up in Prince George this week when I was up there doing my deliveries...I have seen Jeep pick up trucks before but NEVER a crew cab!!

I gave a good look over...running AMC motor and the 727 auto and transfer case. If you look at the rear part of the box you can see the cuda tips that are poking through from the dual exhaust. Also not sure of the bumper but I think it's was an aluminum jeep wagoneer bumper, but they cut and trimmed it to fit tight to the box.

The interior was a set of power bucket seats from?? Looked like mid 70's Impy or something...back seat was out of a newer pickup. Had a C-bodt tilt/tele steering column and factory power windows.

Very interesting truck, no price on it but might call to just talk to the guy and get it's sory. I think it might have been an EX-military/goverment agency truck...mabe for forestry or something?
 
I looked it over pretty hard and it sure looked factory to me...plus a wagoneer doors are different, this one has small front doors and extended rear doors.

If it was a custom built truck they did a darn nice job!!
 
That is sick. Someone built it though, unfortunately they never came like that. I've only seen a couple done right, that being one of them! Most just cut the Wagoneer and make it like an avalanche but that's a j truck bed and maybe rear cab half stuck to a Waggy cab. The doors just look longer because they filled in where the wheel wells would be

I'd rock it, then get mega cab badges, haha.
 
well....if you wanted to do it "right"..and i only say/know it from doing it in plastic and starting to now do it in 1:1 scale on a 50's chevy PU..you start with 2-3 cabs you cut the back off the first cab leaving only the door posts..now add the second cab..the "right" part of this is to now take the rear door posts and flip them driver to passenger passenger to driver to "cap" the back side of the front cab giving you SQUARE doors..then you take 4 doors and cut the front half off of all of them then weld a passenger side to a driver side and now you have perfect square roods done as if the factory did it in the first place and should fit in the openings like they were born there..the end resolt would be something very "whatif" factory

the hardest part is the roof generaly..but in this case you "could" steal the roof section from a waggy but as i recall the waggy has a different roof which leads me to belive it was 2-3 j-10 cabs
 
I have seen one in my life, and it was not quite like that. It actually looked more hacked, but was a factory truck built for a northern Ontario company that worked on the rail line. It was also older....assuming that is a date correct front grill.....
 
xl you just hit a good point the rail lines did do alot of custom order stuff that did get built by some companys reminds me of some of the old 4dr power wagons(50's)...soo could this be a factory rail rig? hmm 1 look at the frame would answer that as it would have some extra holes in it
