  1. 1. Cheers or Jeers?

    • Cheers! A good price for a unique truck that's in decent shape!

    • Jeers! A less useful crewcab and a waste of a good long box!

No thanks. It looks like something Billy Bob rigged up in his shed with an old welder, some tin, and a shower curtain.

If the transition from cab to bed were smooth and there were tractor-trailer-like living quarters behind the seats, then maybe it would be neat. Otherwise, an extended cab GMT-400 offers as much rear seat leg room and space for the same amount of cash and looks way better to boot.

A bit weird and pointless if you ask me.

Yeah, Chevy had both an extended cab and a crew cab available then, so why this? It also reminds me of the van/pickup mashups that were built for people to tow 5th wheel travel trailers, horse trailers,etc. As a kid I had a neighbor w/one,a Ford Econoline cut down maybe 3 feet behind the front doors, big side windows, and an F150 shortbed...

At least those vans had a purpose - this thing not so much.

And, I'd be quite worried about the structure on this. Fusing the cab and bed when they were designed to move independently gives me the willies.

Toyota had a pickup truck like this also as a few of the still drive around Seattle. But I always thought it weird for access to the rear and such, unless you have kids to put back there.

Jeers, one design that should have never made it off the drawing board even for a concept.

My mother had one of theses in poop brown /tan color scheme. Great truck spent many nights camping with family. The design actually is pretty practical having a shorter wheel base than a 4 door but room to sleep 4 comfortably I miss this ugly ass truck.
