Actually believe it or not there was a company that did that sort of thing back in the day. I remember my uncle always talking about wanting one. Saw one on ebay not too far back.
EDIT: 2500? Holy cow, he's never gonna sell it for that.

I think it could be one of those deals like the Toyota Trekker, Trailblazer, etc... that was semi- produced by a different company. Not to say that the previous owner didn;t add some things, too

I'd say it was crazy but a factory made at least part of it so there must have been a market for it back in the day, but in the condtion it's in anybody paying that kind of cash needs to have an intervention or something...

Yep - there was a period when Toyota offered a Custom Cab conversion at the point of sale. I don't recall who the designated conversion company was (or even if there was only one 'official' such conversion contractor).
There were also aftermarket conversions done by coach / RV companies.
Because these 'better' such conversions might have been done at point of sale or aftermarket, there can be some variations among the rare specimens you might see.
To the best of my knowledge, the vast majority of these conversions were sold on the West Coast, and that's where they've always been most often sighted.
The one in the listing looks like a one-off DIY conversion, or maybe an original conversion that's been modified.

So...I'm the only one that would clean it up and drive it? Think of the things you could do with the extra cab space, maybe even make it a walk through! It'd be like a van, but way cooler.
