I agree, but a bit of Dodge in the front end.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
You're right.
I still don't know what that orange one is. It sure ain't from around here. I searched "Russian pickup truck" and images. I got a picture of that one and this other one, and that's it for anything like them.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Morris Minor trucks are cool. I never saw any here but when I went to The Bahamas ('73) they were everywhere

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Something about all the early-mid '60s trucks (cars, too). That era lasted longer for Dodge Trucks since that body went from '61-'71. Trucks really varied in that time. Dodge still had leaf spring up front, Ford went from leaf to Twin-I Beam, and Chevy went from torsion bars to coils.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
I like the back window on the one with the trim. It has a classy look.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
The unibody fords just never did anything for me. Although a couple of those are done up nicely.
Didn't they offer both the unibody and a body on frame design (separate cab and bed) the same year? I have forgotten.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Good to see. I look at that picture and thing, "Where's the plastic?" (other than the turn signal lenses)

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Yes. The torque box between the bed and cab is a common rusting spot in the Uni's

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
In '61, the first year for new body style and unibody, F100s and F250s were either unibody for Styleside or Flareside. No 4wds were offered with the unibody. Plus there were cab and chassis models available. 4wds got the prior design Styleside bed. After complaints about frame flex popping doors open Ford began offering the old design Styleside on 2wds as well as unibody. It wasn't till '64, first year after unibody, that Ford offered the matching bed. And that became the only Styleside available

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
This is a true survivor. A one-off '59 Pontiac El Catalina...prototype. Truly remarkable that it wasn't crushed once GM decided not to put it into production.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
They stretch the Samurais out to make little pickups out of them. Pretty cool I think.

[QUOTE=special-K;8784691]I think I like any truck made before '73.
Not sure if this is classified as a truck,, or not ..it is hauling something in a sort of bed in its behind .. it is a 1955 Panhard El Cachero
