Looks like there was a factory or extremely clean aftermarket camper conversion for the first-generation , and I think it's just dethroned the Toyota Chinook as the most adorable microcamper sold in America.

This one here somewhere in Washington State () at an ambitious ask of $15,000. The sad thing is I'm actually tempted... too bad the ad pictures were taken with a mid-90's Polaroid.

So there I was, standing at the SEATAC airport with one thumb up on my iPhone and the other…

The '63 Scout (model "80") would have been the first generation... easiest visual giveaway is the windshield wipers on the top of the glass and an extremely sparse dashboard.

You've convinced the spouse. You've spent the money. Now you're the proud owner of some hopeless…

Sure, I've dreamed of moving in with my special lady someday... but I think we can all agree that's worth postponing for a few years of vagrant bliss living inside a truck this perfect. All I'd need is a 4G WiFi rig and this could be the new Truck Yeah HQ!

Whoever buys this... please call me, I want to hang out.
