Ooh, I do. I think.
Up to the back of the cab looks fabulous, but needs a longer pick up bed I think to balance it out. Has the look of a Desperate Dan creation about it for some reason. Nice. Any idea what it is?

I think the cab is off a ZIL 6x6 truck. I agree about the back end as well. Even if it had a small wooden bed on it, it would look better.

Drove my beat up Moggy Minor pick up around like that for a couple of years with just the bare chassis rails out back. One of a long list of vehicles I should've kept. Chassis was shortened by 6 inches with a one piece fibreglass flip front. Like driving a go-cart but so much fun!

That thing is about the size of a transit, or bigger. If I remember correctly, the engines were a straight six, or even straight eight petrol.
