Indeed, Rye, the alternative to my TR3B is a Toyota product I happily take
into the backcountry -- I have two "real" 4WD vehicles (defined as having a
transfer case, and both Tacomas), and my most civilized vehicle is also
all-wheel drive (a RX350).  Here's my 2003 Toyota Tacoma double cab.

Guilty as charged, tho not quite what you meant :)

BTW, the clutch is under that round cover; pry the cover off then undo six
nuts and the whole clutch comes off in your hands.  You can reline it in an
afternoon, using just hand tools (not even a jack is required).  No clutch
slave at all; the clutch is operated by that big lever sticking up next to
the steering wheel.

I do hope to have it restored some day; but it's been slow going.  Can't
complain about parts availability, though.  Even though it was built in
1949, the dealer had a carb kit, batteries and an oil filter on the shelf.

Looks like the 620 we had at work.  (Actually, we had a brace of them).
Closed the place down, and sold them to some guy in Iowa.

We also sold an old cotton picker.  A guy came 300 miles from Alabama with
a tow bar thingy, hooked up the rear (steer axle) wheels, and towed it back
300 miles home.  In the dark.  I've often wondered how that trip went.  No
worse than some adventures I've had picking up old cars, no doubt.
