Start with a CJ of some flavour (bonus points for Nissan SD33 diesel powered CJ10a), add a M101 trailer bed. Discuss.
Neat CJ based pickup idea

I'd rock it... I'd rock it daily! Although I would have a Small block chevy ;-)

Chances of me sourcing a SD33 powered one is close to zero; more of a gas guy anyway.
I'd probably do a stroker.

Nah... that's an old CJ10 (nearly as rare as an FC)... throwing a POS Chevy motor in it is just plain sacreligious... Now a Nice Mopar Poly-head 318 or and injected 5.9 out of a ZJ.
Personaly I think it'd make a great truck for a 4BT swap... Gassers just don't do it for me out on the trail. Diesel is where it's AT

CJ10a - Since in the States it was likely an aircraft tug.
In Australia they got a full pickup CJ10a. If you do some googling for images you can see the type of box it was shipped with.

I have owned two CJ-10as, and shortened a M-416 bed for use on mine. The width was much better suited to the CJ-width tub, IMO. I do like the look of the M101 bed, but it should be narrowed to look right, IMO.
Mine both had the Nissan SD-33 motor. They ran well, but they're horribly underpowered. Even with 4.10 gears and 34s, even a slight incline would cause the speedometer to drop almost immediately. If I had one readily accessible to me, I'd use it (in fact, I built custom motor mounts to install one in a Scrambler previously, but sold the project off). I'd seriously look at different motors, otherwise. I will say that I was very impressed with the pep of a N/A 6.2L Chevy diesel that was in an '92 Suburban I had for a time. Some people claim it's a dog, but mine (even though it wasn't turbo) did very well.
Here's the end result from my '10a project.

That's the "standard" front end on CJ-10 pick-ups, and CJ-10a aircraft tugs. I still have a mint-condition '10a grill left over from one of the ones I owned. I'm not sure yet what I'll be doing with it...wall art, future project, possibly sell (???).
