My first thought was, it was a third-party conversion and most customers were govt agencies, utility companies and railroads. In theory anyone with the money could order one but they were seldom seen and the ad budget was limited to a sell sheet that would go in a salesman's binder with all the other vocational upfits. All crewcabs were like that until 1958 when International introduced the first factory one (about a decade later they'd be first to really advertise them to the general public); Dodge followed suit in 1962 or thereabouts, Ford in 1967 or '68 and GM not until 1973 (they were constrained by production capacity which is why they didn't have an extended cab fullsize until 1988 or a 15pax van until 1990).
Now that is interesting! I wasnât aware anyone could order oneâĶ thatâs pretty cool. That makes sense with the reason why little to no advertising was done. Very cool.

I built a 77 waggy on 38s, a 76 Chief on 40s, butchered and played with all sorts of FSJs and was obsessed with the full size jeeps for well over a decade. All that to say I've never even heard if these things. But yeah, very cool.
Now thatâs pretty cool, youâre living my dream! I had never heard of this thing eitherâĶ very unique. Thanks for watching and commenting! Subscribe for more Jeep history, Wednesdayâs @ 7pm and follow my 86 Wag project - Garrett / Sla Automotive Art

Ford era did a video or they visited the finished product of that four-door Jeep gladiator the one that was kind of blurry and was a dually. m.th-cam.com/video/Yh_JB8JPVuA/w-d-xo.html
Very possible to be special builds for government agencies as you mentioned. Nice and I hope someone restores it.
