There were no Terras until after the end of the regular pickups in 1974.

Rare 1/2 cab--maybe scarce, but not quite rare.  About 10% of the 71
Scouts II's were cab tops while the % declined to closer to 5% in 74. 
I've got one of the tops for my '78.

But I just realized--"2 gas tanks"--71 was a split year and the 2 tanks
means this is an 800, not a Scout II.  It's still not rare;the Scout 80
started out at 25-33% cab tops and declined into the 10% area by the end
of the 800 model.

They make interesting mini-pickups--not the most useful for hauling 4x8
sheets of plywood, but they are different enough to attract attention.
