  • Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!

    Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!

    Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting.  No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know? It seems the owner made a mini-truck out of the Festiva and then missed the cargo space?  Regardless, we love it! Festivas make great autocross cars, but it’s not clear that this trailer can…

  • Homemade Nissan Pulsar Pickup

    Homemade Nissan Pulsar Pickup

    Admit it.  If you like odd cars, you’ve looked at the Pulsar Sportbak at least once and wondered why it couldn’t have a hatch-off mode, making it into a small truck.  Apparently, this seller/builder wondered the same and decided his/her Pulsar should be permenently converted into a truck.  The result is suitably odd, potentially mildly…

  • Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup

    Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup

    Are you tired of driving around looking like everyone else?  If so, a homebrew, Crosley-based truck might be just the ticket! This is rumored to have everything necessary to be street legal, and there is an old inspection sticker on one window; so there could be hope.  That being said, the single-cylinder lawnmower engine isn’t…

  • Ranger “GT” with 302

    Ranger “GT” with 302

    It’s no entirely uncommon to find a Ford Ranger with a V8 swap, but we find this one interesting due to its total lack of sleeper effect. The seller has listed this as a “Ranger GT” and some owner along the line has attempted to make exterior mods that hint at the performance.  This truck…

  • Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion

    Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion

    Not only did someone convert an E30 3-Series into a pickup, but this seller claims to be selling to work on his or her “other one.”  It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who would do this (or buy this) in the first place might have two. Is this really is/was a 325is, it’s sad that…

  • Custom VW Beetle Pickup (NOT a TDI!)

    Custom VW Beetle Pickup (NOT a TDI!)

    We love homemade cars here at Oddimotive, even when the chassis is based on a production car, homemade bodies make us smile.  Today’s feature is a 1967 Beetle, but it’s been built into a completely useless, highly upright pickup, somewhat reminiscent of a 1920s truck.  Okay, it’s not completely useless, it’ll get you to Cars…

  • Three on the RV Tree: Econoline Pickup RV

    Three on the RV Tree: Econoline Pickup RV

    Anyone can find a Volkswagen Westfalia Camper, your host included, but this is a bit more unusual.  Ask yourself when you last saw an Econoline pickup, then whether you’ve ever seen an RV version. This truck features an inline six (mid-mounted, of course) with a three-speed manual and column shift.  The seller provides very little…

  • 4Runner Pickup Conversion

    4Runner Pickup Conversion

    Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989?  Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off.  Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…

  • Acura Integra Convertible Pickup

    Acura Integra Convertible Pickup

    Calling this a pickup is a bit of a stretch, but it does sort-of qualify.  What more can we say? This is our favorite generation of Integra, primarily due to the hideous headlights on the one that followed it.  That makes these bizarre mods a bit offensive.  Luckily, the end result is entertaining! The seller…

  • Redonkulous, Oversized Ford Pickup

    Redonkulous, Oversized Ford Pickup

    Does your neighbor’s new one-ton dually make your 3/4-ton pickup look puny?  Maybe you need this Ford F800 with a custom, 14.5-foot bed. We all know there are full-size truck buyers who actually use trucks and then there are the 85% of the private truck market for whom these are all about masculinity defined by…
