NON Chevy’s in the Wild

Everyone I know just calls em Uni's.
My dad's old friend had a baby blue one.
It's an actual unibody too iirc.
Uni body without a full frame like a car would be.

I knew they were built as a unibody but I thought they had given name - Maybe not?
 
Ford produced approximately 40,535 "Unibody" (integrated cab and bed) pickup trucks between 1961 and 1963. This unique design was only offered on two-wheel-drive F-100 and F-250 Styleside models. Ford discontinued the design after 1963 due to structural flexing issues and returned to traditional, separate cab and bed construction.Because these integrated-body trucks were notorious for bed misalignment and doors jamming when hauling heavy loads, survivors are rare.
 
Can anyone tell what’s off about this Land Cruiser ?

It’s gotta aftermarket retro body kit on it that mimics a FJ60 front end on a FJ80 body/chassis.
Had to take a double look when I first passed it.

Y’all already caught the RH drive setup but not the OEM manual locking hubs - which should indicate a part-time transfer case that was available outside of US sales markets.

I noticed the FJ80ish body with the earlier nose but just assumed it was a non US model. Even more confusing was the possibility of it being non US but not having the marker lights on the upper rear of the fenders (seems like they all have them). The fact it’s an aftermarket body is CRAZY.

Was it typical LC size? The locking hubs have me wondering if it’s on a truck chassis (like those Bummer kits on a Suburban).
