Very popular in 50s and 60s on Bedford CA and Commer PB , they had a bench seat under canopy so you could carry five people and their gear . Also you could still have sliding doors on your pick up , useful in narrow streets. Most (all?) were aftermarket conversions, they died out in the 70s . -- Last edit: 2018-08-25 07:54:13
