Custom, Miniature Peterbilt on Ford F250 Chassis
This isn’t the first wanna-be semi truck we’ve featured, but it’s the best. The quality of the work appears to be excellent here. So, if you only need an F250’s capability, but you want a big rig, this could be just the ticket!

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!

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)…

“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…

1971 Honda Vamos
Here’s one we’d never heard of! The Vamos was based on Honda’s mini-truck, the TN360, and was a mini-Jeep competitor (think Suzuki). The interwebs consistently indicate that about 2,500 of these were built; so this is rare outside the Lane Motor Museum (surely they have one). The seller of our subject unit provides almost no…

Stand and Deliver! 1931 Stutz Pak-Age-Car.
The Stutz Pak-Age-Car was a delivery truck meant to be driven from a standing position. Various sellers, including this one, claim very low remaining units. We know we’ve never seen – nor featured – one. This cool little van has a mid-mounted Hercules four cylinder with a rear radiator. The upside is the whole unit…

Rare Mexican VW: Hormiga
The Hormiga (Ant in Spanish), also known as the Basistransporter, was a front-engine, front-wheel drive mini-truck made in Germany and Mexico from 1975 through 1979. In some cases, these were shipped as knock-down kits and built elsewhere. These were only in production for a few years and only in low volume. As such, only a…

NisoFiniti TX56?
Apparently, someone loved the idea behind the Lincoln Blackwood so much that they decided to create the Nissan/Infiniti version. The seller calls is a NisoFiniti. We think it might be called the TX56. Given the large number of shared parts between QX (this was when only one Infiniti was called QX) and Titan, this conversion…

An Off-Road SSR?
If you want a truly unique off road vehicle, this could be just the ticket. The SSR launched as a hardtop/convertible cruiser for the older half of the Baby Boomer generation back in the 2000s. This retro-styled trucklet sat atop the same platform as the Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Ranier, Ascender and 9-7x. At first, it…

Custom Flatbed Loader
What do you do when you have an old Chevy 4×4 pickup, a Kubota loader, a Farmall tractor hood and some wood lying around? Make a homemade loader! Did we mention the unidentified bench seat? Regardless, this is a cool, funky Frankenstein that might actually be useful for just the right buyer. Be weird most…
