Hi I found this Hilux here on Trademe, does anyone know it?

I was trying to figure how they built the cab whether it was a double cab shortened or an xtra cab modified to take doors and also was it this previous red one that was for sale on TM a couple of months back:

Nothing new and works well. There seems to be a stigma about this set up. Not sure why tho :?
