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…

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
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…

Oddimotive Advertising Idea?
Could this be your marketing concept, or should it be ours? Frankly, the truck itself is a bit too normal for us, but we like the idea. Supposedly, the interior is in ‘fair’ condition and the truck itself has 150K miles. That should be nothing on a diesel, though the almost-thirty years of history could…

What Better Vehicle to Haul your Cadillac Land Yacht?
Here we have what we hope is a one-of-a-kind Cadillac car hauler. That is, in and of itself, awesome, but we also like any ad that states “comes with spare Eldorado.” “Ran when parked.” Those are famous last words. There are no interior pictures, but the seller says it needs work. Click for Craigslist ad…

If it Floats Like a DUKW and Drives Like a DUKW. It’s a DUKW.
The DUKW, known as the Duck, was a World-War II amphibious 6×6 truck. These often do tour duty, these days, so it’s not too surprising this was someone’s dream in Newport Beach, CA. The seller claims the hull was recently blasted and primed and that the engine was rebuilt, though hasn’t been started since (how…

Build Your Own Tamiya Blackfoot Tribute
Why is an F150 on Oddimotive? This truck is here because these stepsides are rarely seen, especially with manual transmissions. Also, this truck represents a rare opportunity for an RC car fan to relive the 80s and build a full-scale Tamiya Blackfoot. Supposedly, this truck has 95K miles. Aside from a wacky steering wheel and…

Doored is a Verb?
We’ve certainly heard of bagged trucks and other vehicles, but we’ve never heard of “doored.” This is a horribly incomplete project based on an original plan which was questionable at best. If you’re into this sort of thing, this might be a good starting point, as it seems more has been spent than is asked,…

Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?
If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched. These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory. This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique. The seller says this is in excellent…

Semi-Based, Big-Nose Pickup
Apparently, one can take a 1963 Autocar semi truck cab and hood and mate than to a bed on a one-ton Chevy frame. We know this only because the result is today’s feature Oddimobile. What’s an Autocar, you ask? Apparently, the automaker started in Pennsylvania in 1897 with cars and became a truck-only company as…
