I found this odd creation while on a mountan trip last week. Reliable russian jeeps are often used to transport staff and suplies from and to huts/hostels(shelters? don't exactly know which english word is most appropriate) in mountains. This ones rear sheet metal probably rusted away so they converted it to a pickup I just thought you guys might find it interesting
Have fun!











Cheers

LOL. we call civy cars that this happens to as 'Trucked'. for example a trucked 1924 Chev would mean it was a car with the back cut off and replaced with a flat tray deck.

thanks for sharing
