Step side

No really, just the box. Not mine but if I had a shortbed 70/80's dodge it would be.

Why am I trying to envision what it would look like if I hacked the back of my Cherokee off and grafted that on???

Sounds like awesomeness to me; a tad wide though.

Edit: fords use the same box with a different tailgate also....

When I was in middle school, my friend inherited his grandfather's 1960 Willys wagon. It was really solid, no rust anywhere. But he really wanted a pickup. So I helped him cut the back half of the body off (his idea) and we added a Model A pickup bed onto it with Willys truck fenders. Then we dropped in a 350 out of a wrecked Corvette, lifted it and put on some big tires. By the time he got his license, it was looking really nice, though the back of the cab had a snap on canvas window, so it was never a secret that it began life as a wagon. He drove it for about five years.

It certainly would have been worth more if we had just restored the original body, but the proportions were perfect. I've always had thoughts of dropping a Willys truck cab onto a wagon chassis and adding a Model A bed.

Yeah, I thought about that. But I figured that mounting it to the back of one of the Miatas or the Mercedes would just be stupid...

I've always kinda wanted to build crew-cab Willys Pickup by doing this. Problem is, all the wagons were 2-doors.

Could always make a killer trailer out of it.
