I just found this on accident and its kind of interesting. The FC was built in Spain, but had a different body. It looks like something some GRMers would want!

Wikipedia said: n the 1960 s, Kaiser-Willys licensed VIASA (Vehículos Industriales y Agrícolas, S.A.) to build Jeeps in Spain. During the late-1970 s, VIASA was absorbed by Ebro trucks (a division of Motor Iberica). The "SV" line of commercial trucks were built using a Jeep chassis, just like the FC models in the USA. The unique Iberian models included the Campeador (one-ton pickup), Duplex (double cab pickup), Furgon (one-ton van), and the Toledo (9-seat van). Two engines were available: the Super Hurricane in-line six or a Perkins 4-cylinder diesel.

I've heard of it but never seen one. Looks like their stylists only had a straightedge when they drew those things up.

The body looks like it was stamped out of one large piece of sheetmetal.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. But I really like what the OP posted. Weird is cool.

Yeah. Because Jeep has always been known for graceful curves and flowing lines.

I also get a kick out of XJ owners saying scion xb's are too boxy

Wow, all of a sudden I feel like I could design something that doesn't suck that bad.

...and I also want to duplicate it!

+1. Having spent a -lot- of miles in a cab-over truck.. I think they are perfect for utilitarian needs. Puts the biggest storage/container space into the smallest footprint

Trust me, I understand. Just paint it rustoleum blue and take it to the nearest contours event.
