  • WTT Means What the Truck?!

    WTT Means What the Truck?!

    This really defines the WTF label here on Oddimotive. So, there’s a Chevy S-10 in there, which is evident in the greenhouse, but not its location vs. other typically fixed points in the vehicle structure.  Note that this is NOT a six-wheeler – that is a side-mounted spare, in the style of 1920s and 30s…

  • Linchero: An Answer to the Cadillup

    Linchero: An Answer to the Cadillup

    While Cadillac never officially offered them, Cadillups – combination Cadillacs/El Caminos were  spotted fairly often in the 70s and early 80s.  Ford offered the Ranchero for most of that time, but I cannot claim to have seen a Linchero (lin-chero or linc hero?) until today. The seller claims this is a ‘factory conversion’, which doesn’t…

  • Trucks and Stuff

    Trucks and Stuff

    No, really, this person is selling trucks and stuff. “f250 diesel, 91 explorer, Gazebo, old stove, old cement mixer, etc. – $1500 (93528)” I wonder if $1,500 could get everything.  Would anyone want everything? Click for Craigslist ad Johannesburg, CA (way the hell out there) $1,500 Ad text: 89 f250 4wd diesel-$2500 obo 91 explorer…

  • Chicken Tax Cab-Chassis Loophole Truck!

    Chicken Tax Cab-Chassis Loophole Truck!

    The compact/mid-sized pickup market has seen an interesting 180-degree shift over  the years.  In the and early 80s, the US domestic automakers did not make their own small trucks.  Each had an import at some point. The Chevy Luv was an Isuzu, the Dodge D50 (later Ram D50) was a Mitsubishi and our subject truck,…

  • Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10

    Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10

    So what does a Kubota tractor and a late 90’s Chevrolet S-10 have in common?  Nothing, other than with some determination the Kubota engine can be made to fit in the S-10. Yes, you are seeing that right.  A Kubota tractor diesel engine swapped in an S-10.  The owner put in a lot of work…

  • Quickie: Honda 600 Pickup is Too Good to Go Away

    Quickie: Honda 600 Pickup is Too Good to Go Away

    Some cars are too cool not to perpetually be for sale and that’s why this is a recycled post.  This is still in Idaho, but it looks like the car did indeed change hands, as Rudy sold it in October and Kevin is selling now. If Kevin won the eBay auction from last year, he…

  • Dodge Dakota Town Car

    Dodge Dakota Town Car

    …why not add a camper shell?  The result reminds us of early limousines.  Perhaps the bed is extremely luxurious? We’re fans of the Dakota convertible here at Oddimotive, but this is the first camper shell we’ve seen on one.  The seller claims it runs strong, even at 300K+ miles.  It’s been towed behind an RV,…

  • Summer Truckin?

    Summer Truckin?

    Here we have a cool little Datsun NL320 unibody pickup.  Given these are really only going to be used as cruisers these days, I think these are cooler, with their integrated beds, vs. the ‘real’ truck available at the same time.  If you need a shop truck, your opinion may vary. The seller says this…

  • An Austin Pickup with No Relationship to Texas

    An Austin Pickup with No Relationship to Texas

    Austin made the A40 in many bodies and I confess I have never seen one of these pickups.  As pointed out by the seller, the fender skirts are particularly cool. The bad news here is yet to be determined, as the seller provides very little info.  This doesn’t look like it runs, however; so set…

  • Your Vehicle is not Cushy Enough

    Your Vehicle is not Cushy Enough

    This vehicle is cushy, or at least it’s a Cushman.  If you can find some way to make this street legal, you’ll have a cool little hauler and the four wheel setup must be better than the typical three-wheeled Cushman(despite the nerf bars).  Does that take out all the fun? Click for eBay ad San…
