OK. But unless this thing is a FWD setup, how is power transmitted to the rear wheels? I am probably missing something very basic here. Maybe the diff is bolted to the underside of the payload box with the half-shafts inclined upwards to the wheel hubs which appear to be above the floor of the payload bay. Very unconventional in the world of pick-up trucks, not to mention there would be some major clearance issues - I think (all show truck considerations aside). It is after all, relatively early in the day & I haven't taken on my full caffeine load as yet, so please go easy with your stinging ripostes.

Cheers
JB
