For the most part, pickup trucks that dot the landscape of this great nation are used for basic people hauling. But the unfortunately truth is that you can do 99.99% of the things that people use their pickups with a large car or SUV…but occasionally, you have to haul something that needs a pickup. Like […]
Somebody mentioned something about a debate the other day, so I did some research and discovered that the Ford versus Chevy discussion had gone a bit nuts. This next feature is a live debate between this 1957 Ford F-250 versus this 1971 Chevrolet C20 Truck — enjoy!! Moderator: First off, I’d like to thank the […]
Six large doesn’t buy much in the world of pre-war vehicles, maybe you can get a pile of parts or something you’d never want to drive…or so I thought. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on this 1938 Chevrolet Truck 1.5 Ton offered for $6,000 in Meridian, OR via craigslist. This car is described by […]
Turbocharged gasoline powered pickup trucks haven’t seen much popularity until the until the Ecoboost Fords. Given the state of the technology up until now, perhaps that’s not surprising. No one wants to sit at the boat ramp with their foot to the floor for 45 seconds, waiting for enough turbonium to snatch their pontoon boat […]
We all think of seat belts or padded dashboards as the first real move in automotive safety. For Stutz and the Pack-Age-Car company, having the driving position virtually the same as the run-away-away-from-the-flames position was a monumental leap in self-preservation.

The long term effects of amphetamines and barbiturates, the tool of the 1970’s trucker, and a dabble of LSD can be studied using this rolling Rorschach test. Likely devised while licking the last bit of truck-stop cheese grits from the bowl in a 4AM meth-and-Jolt induced fog, this rig, let’s call it the Waste-ern Star, was […]
Utility is on par with strange proportions in this Nova Scotian assembled Lada Niva pickup truck. Although not really a rarity in the global car economy, the Lada Niva pickup is the Fabergé egg of the AutoVAZ offerings here in North America. I know that’s sort of like saying you have a favorite way to […]
In 1978 when Dodge released the Lil Red Express Truck they put Detroit truck makers on the mat. This truck pretty much put some gingerbread on parts that already existed, added some decals and special cosmetics and BAM they created a formula that worked on trucks just as well as tape and stripe packages had […]
Trucks have always been a part of the American automotive landscape, but in the 1970s they somehow became cool. If you need a truck, and you want something that doesn’t have to be smogged in California, you might want to look into this 1975 Dodge Custom 100 Stepside for sale for $4000 or $4900 in […]
