  • WTT means What The Truck?!

    WTT means What The Truck?!

    It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain.  Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

  • Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Structural rigidity?  What’s that? This Chevy dually has had its roof chopped entirely off and its windsheild chopped, as well.  No roll bar was added for support, so this much have ‘interesting handling.  The only good news is it’s body on frame, so, in truth, it’s less of a handling problem than an overall rigidity…

  • Beautifully Executed 1977 Hiccup

    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…

  • UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!

    UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!

    A first-gen Ford SVT Lightning is something of an Oddimobile in any case, as this was the only ‘performance’ version of this generation of F-Series and, frankly, was fairly modest.  This one isn’t exactly stock, however, and one of the mods is what landed it on this page. There originally had a mildly hopped up…

  • Truck Free or Die!

    Truck Free or Die!

    This is a slightly smaller monster truck, but has plenty of size for a road vehicle.  If you REALLY like Ford, this might be for you.  If you need to justify the purchase, use the practical, all-season four-wheel drive and economical diesel to convince your wife.  Where is this redneck truck, you ask?  Why, it’s…

  • 6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!

    6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!

    From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups.  The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this.  This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

  • V8 Datsun 521

    V8 Datsun 521

    Yes, a 521 is a tiny pickup and, yes, this one has the power- and drivetrain from a 1990 Mustang GT. The seller has documented the build at the Ratsun forum site and the attention to detail and mechanical aptitude are strong here!  One could not come close to building for the asking price if paying…

  • Rainbow Bright’s 1977 Chevy Scottsdale CK1

    Rainbow Bright’s 1977 Chevy Scottsdale CK1

    I believe Rainbow Bright had a car accessory, but I never knew about the full-sized truck.  That seems to be the inspiration behind the customization applied to this 1977 Chevrolet Scottsdale pickup,which sheds the macho image of most full-sized pickups. Disregard the paint choices and this is a desirable 4×4 stepside with a 400 CID…

  • Former Avocado Hauler Has Inline Six, Four-Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission

    Former Avocado Hauler Has Inline Six, Four-Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission

    If you’re considering a small beater truck for hauling and some off-road duty, why not go with one based on the highly-capable XJ Cherokee and which isn’t seen every day?  We suggest the relatively rare Jeep Comanche. This truck once lived on an avocado farm, which is neither here nor there, except that it seems…
