Any background on this highly unusual Chevy G506? Wood bed, open cab, spare tire on the passenger side... raise a few questions.

I received this European based picture by email back in 2007. It was originally taken in 2004 by an unknown sourced. (Info gathered from the properties tab)

I do not remember who the sender was.
