Volvo P144 front end with P1800 rear (for the top and bottom pics)?

They are A-Traktors from Sweden. You can’t legally drive a car until 18 there, but you can drive an a-traktor at 16, so they exist to exploit that loophole. The law says they can’t go over 18mph, need to have a bed that hold 1.25 sq meters of cargo(and no more) and have trailer hitch.

The tails on a ‘50 Ford look better, IMO.
...though the chrome strip really adds something on the Volvo. Both, I would say, call out for the making of mini-pickups. However, the Aussie ute version of the shoebox Ford that was actually produced uses different lights and tail. Disappointing.

Is it just the style or did a p-1800 have to sacrifice it’s life in the creation of that thing?

Probably from a Duett, on which these “cars” are usually based.

Volvos modified to Swedish tractor rules, so people can drive them at 16.
