There was a thing on the internet where people would take ordinary vehicles and make them into custom Cybertruck look-a-likes to the laughs and adulations of the citizens of the internet. Fast forward to 2025, and if you make a custom Cybertruck, you might have some unintended consequences of the kind that nobody enjoys…but it […]
The 1st generation (1972-1980) Isuzu Faster was a pretty ordinary small Japanese pickup, which GM rebadged as the Chevy LUV as their bid in the captive import mini-hauler craze, competing with the Ford Courier (really a Mazda) and the Dodge D50 / Plymouth Arrow (Mitsubishi in disguise). Confused? Just wait. After GM discontinued the LUV […]
The first generation Dodge Dakota was built on Chrysler’s “N-body” midsized truck platform from 1987 through 1996. The Dakota isn’t known as a collectible today despite the fact that it used rack-and-pinion steering in the 2WD version and could be optioned with a fuel-sipping inline-4, torquey 3.9 Magnum V6, or a 318cu Magnum V8. Today’s […]
The Ford Ranger appeared as a compact pickup truck for the 1982 model year and it was an instant hit to Americans hungry for a small pickup. In a simply styled pickup, you have all the ability to pretend you need to haul stuff around in your daily driver without the added nonsense of a […]
The Studebaker Champ was a light pickup built by mounting the front half of the Lark sedan body to the back half of a truck. The Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company built this wacky thing from 1960 through 1964 model years and it makes an interesting statement on the road today. Find this 1962 Studebaker Champ […]
There was a time when Volkswagen made a rad little pickup truck based on their Golf/Jetta platform, but the Caddy was long gone by the time the 5th generation (Mk 5) Volkswagen Jetta was released into the wild (2006-2010). However, the aftermarket stepped up to right this terrible injustice and Smyth kits was born. Call […]
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On who writes: DT, it appears that your goal to turn every vehicle into an El Camino, is much older than you are! Hey. How do you not know we are as old as the 3 fellows with shadows that look amazing in the first photo? […]
The third-generation Chevrolet El Camino was introduced for the 1968 model year with a new body that was longer and more styled. Gone were the squared-off lines of the previous model, and in its place was the front end of a Chevelle with a seriously racey truck bed rear. These are classics in every sense […]
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: Something you didn’t know existed, I’ll bet. I examined the photos with great curiosity … until I looked at the price. Oh well, whatever. Yes, whatever. The price is nuts. But this must be a custom El Caminoized Benz…right? No way. Did […]
There is something about a well preserved 80s classic that gets my attention. It doesn’t need to be some fancy sports car, but it better have 4 wheels and a manual gearbox. Find this 1987 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 4WD offered for $5,500 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist. From the seller: 1987 Chevrolet S10condition: […]
