70's Ford Courier. Its the Ranger's little brother.

I'd have to either make it a FWD, or place the engine in the bed (MR type setup). I dont think I'd be able to run a tonneau cover over the engine because of the height, which is another issue all together. Any ways I could make it work using that? Make a platform off the frame and drop it a few inches?

Anything is possible. I just really like the way they look, and they're relatively untouched in the customization world as far as I can see. A few people slam them, others jack them up, but thats about it. Nothing really innovative done that I can find.
Would be awesome to see.
