Something TOTALLY different

I was in Winnipeg yesterday and saw something I had to mention. There was a '57 ranchero driving around. It was spotless. The guy had taken the Ford body and put it on top of a late model Toyota tacoma pickup. The drivetrain was completely Toyota, but the body is totally Ford. It's a 4x4 too. It had stock ride height, so I would never have guessed about the chassis if he hadn't told me. For anyone that happens to be in Winnipeg, it's at No Name car store on Portage Ave. I asked for pics, but he didn't have any and I didn't have a camera along. Sorry about that.

What does it matter if it has a Ford frame or a Nissan or whatever frame. Not like it's original anyways.

It`s a shame but at least it`s still on the road I guess.
I would never do this either.....I`d much prefer stock and I think it would be worth alot more that way.
