Looks like it could have competed with the Ranchero and El Camino.

There were no bucket seats, just 2 saddles and it was difficult to get out of the stirrups in time to hit the brakes. LOL!

Really not a bad design overall!

I never knew this. Seems like this would have been popular enough for production.

- Right, looks pretty good.

- Me neither, that's why I posted it.

Interesting resemblance to the the 1970's Australian Holden utes

I think it would have been successful back in that time.

...I kind of thought everyone would like it.  😀 😀 😀      It's nothing I'd ever want, but it doesn't look bad.

I like it.  The front clip looks similar to AMC's Gremlin/Hornet, just a bit wider.

Hmmm.... ..   I thought it was the same front clip, I didn't realize it was wider.

@brush "Yucktruck"  was considered but "Cowboy"  won out.  😏 😆
