Custom Jeep Renegade Comanche Replica
For its annual Easter parade of awesomeness (the Easter Safari), Jeep created a Renegade-based Comanche pickup, which was revealed in 2016. Today’s feature is a replica, which appears to be well done.

Double Cab Ute 2.0: Datsun U520
Recently, we featured a rare Datsun U620 and today it appears that the same seller is offering the older U520. If you missed out on that early 70s double-cab, then maybe this late 60s iteration is the truck for you!

1978 Jeep J10 Honcho with Levi’s Interior and Four-Speed
This is easily the best-looking pickup ever made, and the Honcho package added 70s decals, roll bar and Levi’s interior to the mix. We love it, especially in these colors.

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)…

Frazer Manhattan Promotional Pickup
Apparently, this is a one-off (or one of three?) promotional pickup and is well known among “Frazerphiles.” This vehicle even has its own Facebook page! It seems Earl “Madman” Muntz (of Muntz Car Company) commissioned these in an effort to convince Kaiser-Frazer leadership to produce them. They never did, so no more were made. Frazer…

“Eco” Ford F-250 Running on Biodiesel
This is an interesting truck, to say the least. The seller made some mods which, in theory, help fuel economy. This is not the usual pitch from the seller of an F-250 diesel, but the bio-diesel/veggie oil crowd is, well, different (and proud of it). We’re not sure whether this truck is a nightmare or…

Get to Know this Homemade Geo Metro Pickup
That’s right, folks, 1997 represented the end of a glorious run for GM’s often-confused, import-based Geo brand. Does that make this a collectible? Probably not – especially considering the continuation of the Metro as a Chevrolet product for several more years. Today’s feature, however, isn’t really about brand heritage, it’s about yet another tiny hatch…

FREE Abandoned Vanagon Pickup Conversion Project
Well, it’s free if you never want to register it. Should you choose to do so in California, you’ll owe $665 in back registration fees. Still, this looks like a parts van to us, but some ambitious individual might try to finish it as a truck… We love the ad text (below), as the seller…

Custom 2009 VW Rabbit Caddy
Do you love both the recent VW Golf/Rabbit and the old school VW Caddy? Someone loved both and decided to make a tribute. Sadly, the result is much less functional vs. a hatchback or an original Caddy. The seller claims to have over $70K invested in this vehicle and we can almost believe it. Fans…

Daihatsu Trimobile: The Three-Wheeled Mircocar from Japan
Here’s a rare beast in the US. The Daihatsu Midget was a utilitarian microcar sold in Japan for several years and sold and marketed in the US as the Trimobile for a few years starting in about 1959. Apparently, these were primarily used inside large manufacturing plants in the US, but can be registered and…
