Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

I am waiting for the guy to call me back. I am looking at getting a 2wd, because I have come to realize that it would be way more practical for me. I have tried google, but can't come up with any info about it. It looks to be a 3rd generation truck body with a 1st generation 4runner topper.

When I hear back from this guy I am going to try to check it out, even if just to get more information about it.

 

did the guy ever get back to you about this? im curious if this is a legit thing. i tried googling and i couldnt find anything lol

 

I dont think Toyota made that. But very cool still.... I want to see what the inside looks like.

Edit: Linking the photos, so we dont loose them when the add is taken down:

 

I agree with rattlewagon (great name, by the way). I do not believe it came like this from the factory.

Cool truck either way.

Thanks, everything inside my 87 rattles like crazy... tools, spare parts, interior pannels.... a co-worker named it that and I liked it. Plus it was way better than my old name.

It looks like typical imitation canopy sold in the late 80's early 90's.
As a trekker owner I think it is pretty cool.
I would hoooe it has a 4 runner passenger front seat that releases had sliders forward further when release than a standard pick up seat for easierningress/egress.
Curious if they lowered the bed in the back for some rear passenger legroom and if it has a file and tumble seat.
If it runs good and the frame isn't doomed by Wisconsin rust it would be cool.

Edit I just looked at a rear window I have from a 1st Gen 4runner and the window pictured looks too small for it to be an original 4runner top

 

The master has spoken.

The guy never got in touch after I left a couple of messages. I have been having bad luck getting people to call me back recently, which, in the case of people selling trucks is probably a good thing, because I still have lots of work to do on the truck that I already have.

 

I tend to look at situations like this the same way.
