Can we get an old trucks thread going?

...

Not very old but here's my 1986 Ford F-250.

saw a studebaker pickup once
didn't know they existed until then

So this jeep is for sale a few miles down the street from me at a used dealership.

>$1800
>350 swapped
>solid body and frame
>has like 4 shifters for some reason

...

First gen Sunday's?

This guy always has the weirdest shit on the corner of his lot, I've never seen him sell anything for more than $3500.

>goes to car lot
>takes photos of a old jeep
>disregards old coupe

Thats a Kaiser M715. Not a bad deal if it actually runs. Almost 100% chance the swap was done poorly and will need corrective fabrication though

how old is old?

Oh I didn't disregard it. It was tagged $2500 I believe.

41 Ford with a seized up flathead V8, looked mostly complete as it had the seats and glass in it.

I didn't get a pic of the interior but it had A LOT of walmart red wire that appeared to be jumpered all over the fucking place.

...

this is old, but not super old.

I would like to find something like this and fix it up if it needs fixing. Love old trucks with stepside beds. This one is pretty rare tho, a XLS edition.

Sounds about par for the course. I've looked at a few and same story, lots were used a fire trucks or as some kind of utility truck so they have a lot of cobbed together shit. If I found that truck in your pic near me and the guy would take $1500 I would do it, but I've been looking to build one from the frame up, not the kind of project that would be driveable/enjoyable with just a little work. Where is this truck? East coast?

Can I play?

>old
check
>truck
check

no

Old enough for you?

1998, daily driven

...

New England, only thing turning me off to it is the SBC swap. No idea what trans is in it now and it has no previous registration or inspection sticker so I'm guessing it was a yard/plow truck and no one gave a shit about it.

...

the original engine was a cool one too. over head cam

can a van be a truck?

here is a rare one
factory dually cj5
only made them for 2 years

I've never seen one for sale that wasn't engine swapped aside from some military restoration ones and I've been looking for one for years, for a cheap truck you are better off with the SBC if you can fix whatever was done halfassedly

...

...

RARE

How old?

...

Does the axle still explode?

...

no it still has a 4 banger
thats a factory dana 70

...

clean
reminds me of Farmtruck

Well I got learned today.

I figured it was some hack job on the original 35(?) rear axle

Sure.
>The just got mine running again after sitting

...

Here's what I've got

>ford in its natural state

...

...

...

Bullnose power yeahhh!
Lol that's my truck

Another pic but with gf

...

...

...

Ford in its natural state

My piece of shit, 36 years old.

>replaced the original tie rods recently, somehow survived 228k miles

>jet powered streamlined truck with pop up headlights
so 60's american it hurts

My POS rebadged-Mazda that was Ford's attempt at a mini-truck. Been sitting a few years, but I'm ready to do a small block swap

I so damn wish mercedes would have produced this and mass sell it back in the time.
This dream will unfortunately never come true.

I'll dump what I can

>tfw you passed on this W124 truck a long while ago

Dream truck 1/2
Old face
Skinny tires
LONG BED STEPSIDE

Dream truck 2/2
Cool name
Angry face
0 amenities

Dream truck 3/2
Cutest thing ever made in America
4wd
Small, yet utilitarian
Glorious brick shaped design

In my honest IMHO opinion square front trucks with stepside beds usually look really ugly unless they're single cab short beds lowered as street trucks.

If only I wasn't dirt poor

...

Obligatory

Not cute enough.

What.

Shitty at truck stuff
Good at car stuff

Just cut the back off

They were too pure for this world

CUT MY SEDAN INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY FALCON SPORT

Gave me a giggle

Mini pickups aren't small, American pickups are just hopelessly fat.

...

Those wheels are absolutely garish

Good chuckle, I think car would have fit better though

What is it though?

4U

It's a Mini pickup.

I just... That took me too long to understand, and I'm sorry

>4cyl jeep powering a dana 70
