Smog regs didn't kick in for 1 tons until much later, well except for PCV systems. But the flatties already had that.

My guess is the lack of a collapsible steering column. Too much re-engineering for such a limited appeal product. And no room to collapse it in the half-size cab? Plus maybe windshield standards?

They already had a padded dash, bear claw door latches, and the dual master. Leaving only column and windshield?
