It actually started out as a station wagon, the roof was cut off and the rear hatch moved foward to make the back of the cab.

The entire bed was made out of 1/8" steel plate, including the inner sides, which was all welded in. It was actually more rigid than it had been as a wagon.

I originally started out with a 307 4 speed and 4 BBL which was a great little torque motor for towing, the Vega rear end even lived for a little while. Of course it eventually ended up with a tri-power 327 and 8" ford rear end.



I seem to recall that a LOT of beer was involved in the planning process
