Double Cab Ute: Datsun U620
Most Datsun pickups from the 60s and 70s were standard, two-seat affairs with separate beds – much like almost every other pickup out there. There were a few oddballs, though, including the Sunny Ute we previously featured and today’s U620. This is the Ute version of the 620 pickup and arguably the coolest (and weirdest)…

MonzaMino!
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: the Vega-based Monza made into a cruck. This seems to be a well done conversion and actually preserved a bit of storage space behind the front seats. Strip away the pickupness and this is a 103K-mile Monza with six cylinder and automatic. None of that is exciting, but…

Cadillup: Cadillac Caribou “High Roller”
Ah yes, another 70s Cadillac pickup conversion. This one was done by Caribou, supposedly out of the bay area, and has since been treated to a Tiffany Blue paint job, wood bed slats and, among other things, a “unique” high roller interior. This is quite the project, but the $75K asking price is pure crack pipe.…

Save this Falcon Ranchero Project!
Falcon Rancheros are just plain cool! Although the Mustang was based on an updated 1964 Falcon, many parts still fit, which means you can do just about anything with one of these little trucklets. These didn’t come with a V8 until 1963, but they easily accept one. The owner of this one has done some…

Beautifully Executed 1977 Hiccup
If you’ve ever wanted a 1977 Honda Civic pickup conversion, this is the one to get! The seller points out that this conversion was done with great attention to detail and that people ask all the time if it is a factory truck. From the pictures, we understand how many would make that mistake. It’s…

Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?
If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched. These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory. This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique. The seller says this is in excellent…

Hot, Ranchero-Style Ute
What’s hotter than a GMC Diablo? How about a Ford Ranchero Habanero? Unlike the Diablo, this was not a factory theme. Apparently, someone decided this needed to exist and ensured you’d have no doubt, given the “themed badging throughout.” Sadly, no one told the seller than habanero peppers are orange, as opposed to red. All…

Big Block El Camino Killa
Most everyone in the general public is aware of – and perhaps jokes about – the Chevrolet El Camino, but many have forgotten the Ford Ranchero that actually arrived first. When I think Ranchero, I think mid-70s, so this much more svelte ’68 model is a welcome change. This example has a 390 V8. Sure,…

Boss 429 + Ranchero Squire? Sure!
Here we have something beyond a ‘mild custom’. Someone decided a Ranchero Squire needed to be fully tubbed and modified to accept a Boss 429 engine. While they were at it, they added nitrous. A quick check of the interwebs shows this car has been for sale off and on for quite some time. See…
