Piglet but me onto this 6 wheeler. No motor or box, but I have one of then laying around.
the body is stuffed.
rear end works suspension wise but drive to both diffs needs sorting.

Hey Jav Piglet hates you
That looks like a real baskit case. How was drive being delivered to the rear diff before? Or was it never finished? Looks like a parts rig to me.

Yeah i guess that works as long as you dont put it in low range
You would then have double low in the rear and single in the front

He had it so you could only get H4 and H2 on the mq, but do they drive 1to1

They look like Daihatsu axles. So, if theres an auto locker in one diff, it has to be a Detriot. In that case, you have more than got you monies worth.
Personally, it looks too interesting to wreck. I would probably go the cab and tray option.

had a good look at it today, easiest way to do it is cut the chassie in front of back wheels and buy a complete ute and join it together.
Anyone got a ute for sale.

you know if you cut it into atray back, & made it abit
longer, you could put your bugyscat on the back,,,
no need for a trailer

If it's a detroit locker, and it will fit in a rocky, i'll give u my left nut for it
Other wise do something with and angle grinder cause it looks UGLY

that would be about a 3.5 times more then what i paid for the car plus fuel to pick it up
not a bad profit. naw , think i'll keep it.
I'm sure one of my mates has a locker in the back of his rocky he had fitted about 2 years ago. I'll ask him next time i see him.

Interesting in some ways - but ugly.
To get it on the road seems to be more work than I would want to tackle.
Still its "unique" in every sense of the word. Luck......
