Not a bad idea. I gave you a like. I would love a 79 series cruiser with a regular bed on it! You might want to post this over on TTORA or YotaTech too.
Yeah, I figure its worth a try. I know if I could go to the Dealer and buy a brand new 78 Series Troopy with a 4.5 V8 diesel and 5 speed.... I'd do it in a heartbeat. With Mahindra trying to get into the light truck/diesel market, I'm hoping Toyota will see this as a chance to bring Toyota diesels back to the states.
I'll post this on TTORA and YT, good idea.
