And at Mr FGXR6 have a quick look up of ' Ford XY 4x4'. I'm also pretty sure someone back in the day did something similar to Chrysler's back I can't find any info on them anymore

Not that any of this mattered to the Army, because the military never got to the stage of even field-testing Ford’s prototype, Marsden revealed. He recalled that during the vehicle’s development, the Army made it clear to Ford that even though the basic concept was right, it was never going to meet their extreme battlefield requirements without the proven strength and durability of a traditional body-on-frame construction. Clearly this was a path Ford did not have the resources to follow, which was probably just as well because after seeing what else was (or wasn’t) available, the Army opted for Land Rover’s more powerful six cylinder version.

Evo VIII Lancer. Still in my eyes the best shaped Evo. Hard to believe its over 20 years old. Still looks modern.
 HQ 1 tonner.

In 1986 I took an XY 4X4 ute for a test drive, it was painted bright yellow, with a fibreglass canopy, and I thought it was great. But the dealer wouldn't budge 500 bucks from my trade and offer, on a $6k price, so I walked away. I ended up with a 69 Landcruiser SWB, which I got rid of 6 months later.

It doesn’t belong in this thread but I often see this car in a local shopping centre car park. Must be a special import.
  It’s always parked in the same spot where no one can park next to them.
