What is this thing? NT Cherokee? Wago?

I was searching the interwebz today looking for something else and stumbled on this rig:

OK, so at first glance, I think "Oh, it's a NT Cherokee and they put Wagoneer trim on it." But then I really started looking at it (trying my best to ignore the Wyle E. Coyote airbrushings) and notice the drip rails are shaved from the front door back. The body line that goes up the side between the rear of the front door and the front of the mural is cool, but I don't think it translates to anything on a stock FSJ body.

I don't hate it. It would be kind of cool if not for the murals.

I'd guess it's a '73 Wagoneer with the rear doors and side windows blanked off. Notice the '73 grille and it has a conventional tailgate. There were flip-down and barn-door panel trucks and 2-doors in earlier years, but only the model 15 (4-door flip-down-gate Wagoneer) was available in 1973.

Also has Wagoneer tail lights.

that thing has been posted on here few time over the years.
i believe it’s just a one off custom/converted 4dr wag?
It’s been on eBay a few times as well.

According to the Vin it started life as a '73 custom 4 door Wagoneer. I like it, I particularly like that angled piece behind the door that looks like it came form a late 50s Ford panel truck or maybe a 1980ish bronco, whatever it was I think it works well on this.
