Thanks for sharing.It`s cool to see one of these pulled out that has served a purpose for all it`s life.These were a Jeep replacement and Jeeps got used for the darndest things back in the`60s before off roading became so popular..Bait buckets are more likely what went up front.I think they used it to spread the bait and someone would ride up there.I`m curious why the top is just the way it is.You know it`s custom made that way for a reason.I guess you could get in and out of the covered part easily.

I agree it`s not worth so much.It seems to be a bit pieced together with the earlier mirrors.Maybe they just swapped them for some reason.But,likely the doors are 69/70 Blazer or modded 67/70 truck doors.
