Colorado w/ Astro box?

So I found this while looking for a new vehicle.

It looks interesting and that box can be stripped out. tempted on picking one up for light expo trips and xc trips. Anyone seen one set up as anything other than a utility box?

What would you use it for, looks too small to sleep in?

Covered storage/camp kitchen. And with the way the back doors are, you can hook up an SUV style tent to the back of it.

And also, these are the rough dimensions of it 7' x 4'H x 6'W, and I'm a short guy lol

And/or roof-tent. I like it. But then I have a soft-spot for service bodies, in general.

I do too lol. This is the first one I've really liked other than ambo style ones.

A standard bed with a cap/topper seems more versatile to me.

Hard to know with Craigslist. It's definitely not front wheel drive, but whether they meant 2wd or (f)our, there's no telling.

For example, I routinely search CL with only the "manual transmission" checkbox set while looking for certain (rare-ish) cars. I get really pissed off at the LARGE number of people who advertise their rarely-came-in-a-manual-transmission cars as "Manual", despite posting a clear image of an automatic shifter on the console.

or the number of slapsticks that people call manuals, that one blows my mind and I'm not even searching for manuals

I'm betting the people who are selling it don't realize that 2wd trucks are rwd
