I'm thinking of a project for which I would need a modern classic pick up body. Let's say 1980-1996.
What was available as a king cab? So two door only, but seating for four or five.
Ideally in LHD so not JDM only

Thank you for your help

I think you might struggle to find a proper two door five seater. King cabs were generally four doors. US trucks like the Ford Ranger, Chevy S10 and the like came in two door Sport Cab and Super Cab variants with two or three seats up front and a couple of occasional seats in the rear, so did the Hi Lux and the Mazda B2000 range of that era. Probably the Bedford/Isuzu would be the same... Bear in mind that there was fair bit of badge engineering going on as well, so you may find similar trucks under different branding.
There was a Chevy S10 five seater with two proper doors and rear suicides (think Mazda RX8), but I've only ever seen one. Most of the weekend warrior type pick ups from Nissan, Toyota, etc. will be four door King Cabs.
My old Ranger Supercab - two seats up front, two occasional flip down, taxi style seats in the rear; you wouldn't want to go far in those.

Something like yours is exactly what I was after.
