The ones you see in oz were done by local body builders,usually TL Engineering or Arkana in WA and Laingley and others on the east coast.
The one in that pic is very similar to the one sold as a "Goanna pack" through the Toyota dealers in WA in the mid 90s.
Some of them had small doors so you could reach in and get things out.
The conversion cost about $5-6K in its day and they were selling do it yourself kits at one time.

It's a Toyota Australia extra , it doesn't come from Japan as a space cab, Toyota receive the truck as a normal cab chassis send it to a quality panel shop that they feel comfortable with Enough to warranty there work . Same as its a dealer option to have arb lockers installed before you pick up the new ute, that doesn't make arb lockers a Toyota product, they don't come from Japan with arb lockers In them.

Thanks lol, I didn't think he quite grasped the concept.:cheers:
 
i have looked at the various panels available for the 75/79 series trucks and you can get all the parts for a 4 door from the factory but i never found any to make an extended cab.

If they did make a space cab I wonder if they would use the 79 series roof with more ribs or cut down and use the 76 series roof with less ribs in the roof panel
