Strange car
So I was on a hike over here and saw a cool looking truck that I wanted to share with you all. IDK if this is a jeep or import something or other.
EDIT: oh ya, should I have posted this elsewhere?

You're right it really doesn't belong here.
That looks like a Willys panel truck. about a 58.

I thought about buying one of these instead of a pig but I decided it would be too much work. Some people put the body on Bronco or Blazer frames. They look cool fixed up.

Those are cool. I've almost bought one a few times. They are a fraction the cost of an LV and still look pretty cool.

My first wheeling was in one of those. My neighbour would load all the local kids in it and would take us for a run through the abandoned gravel pit nearby.
It was in the 60's. Good times.

There's a guy in Denver near DU that has 2 of them that are mint and lifted with huge tires. They are amazing when they're all done up. If I ever got out of cruisers I;d get one and do it up. Tough to get parts for tho.

Funny thing, I walk past one of these every day. It's sitting in front of a autobody shop, the engine has been pulled and its just sitting there on blocks. The body looks to be in pretty good shape considering its been sitting out in the weather for as long as I can remember. My wife and I both thought it looked pretty cool and it did cross my mind to want to fix it up... but LC wins out.
The front grille, fenders, and "BIG ROUND HEADLIGHTS" do make it look a bit like a piggy. Maybe thats why we are attracted to them (lol)

Nice one of those right around the corner from me for 4k.
My buddy has one with a 327 in it. Crazy/scary/deadly to wheel in.
