There is at least one diecast model of a Jeep pickup that could donate the cab...

I don't get it. Why? Awful proportions, and the whole thing looks silly.

Agreed. Too much front overhang and the wheels are way too small. And it would probably have been cheaper to buy a proper rig, cos I would imagine the build costs were pretty high.

I agree. I love these trucks but I have yet to see one that has been turned into an extended cab that looks good. All the Mack parts just don’t blend well at all.

Maybe the driver could hire out for snow removal during the winter if they could control the height of the front bumper.

Here's a similar one from Cruisin The Coast 2019

Yes, that one is perhaps a bit better thought out.  FWIW, while I didn't consider the one I posted to be particularly pretty, I thought it was a creative use of the Jeep pickup cab.  The one just posted is a better demonstration of the overall concept.
