Actually, the answer to your question is almost yes--there is a pickup
that was built using a Scout rear axle and it's a really strange looking
truck. The predecessor to the C-900 pickup which was the "El Cheapo"
pickup with a 4-152, 3 speed, and a 6' box was a C-99 pickup, built at
Chatham and sold only in Canada for a year or two. This actually used
the Scout rear axle which was noticibly narrower than the front and had a
slab-sided bonus load box that looked quite crude. I think it was a
home-brew job much like the Wagonmaster's origin.
This is one of the few vehicles that I can think of that Crismon didn't
include in his book, but then there probably wasn't any info on it in the
archives for him to see. There is/was a restored one at Southland
International in Lethbridge, AB for anyone who wants to go see one.
You aren't part Canadian by chance?
