Former Avocado Hauler Has Inline Six, Four-Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission
If you’re considering a small beater truck for hauling and some off-road duty, why not go with one based on the highly-capable XJ Cherokee and which isn’t seen every day? We suggest the relatively rare Jeep Comanche. This truck once lived on an avocado farm, which is neither here nor there, except that it seems…

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…

Scion xB Pickup
Yes indeed, someone chopped a 2006 Scion XB to make a very strange pickup. Also, according to the seller, it has “airbags suspicion to lift while you drive.” So, if you drive this, you will suspect you have air suspension, but you won’t be able to confirm that? Basically, this is a Scion xB with…

Our Most 70s Post in Quite Some Time
We’re fans of any ad that rightfully includes the “time capsule” quote and proudly calls attention to the presence of a Craig 8-track player and Muntz speakers. Yes, this is a full 70s custom built on a Datsun pickup in the heart of the Corvette Summer days. Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $7,500 The…

Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win
By most standards, this is just an old, brown F150. A quick look at the interior shots, however, shows why it’s here on Oddimotive. Some owner at some time ‘crafted’ an interesting center stack and some sort of custom electronics box. Also, this truck has a lot of brown. We like brown. This truck was…

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…

Hot, Ranchero-Style Ute
What’s hotter than a GMC Diablo? How about a Ford Ranchero Habanero? Unlike the Diablo, this was not a factory theme. Apparently, someone decided this needed to exist and ensured you’d have no doubt, given the “themed badging throughout.” Sadly, no one told the seller than habanero peppers are orange, as opposed to red. All…

Back to the Future in a Ford Courier?
Here we have a Ford Courier with a partially-complete 2.3L turbo swap. For some reason, it’s also been made up to look like Biff’s truck at the end of the original Back to the Future. This could be handy if you want to start a mobile detailing service. The Ford Courier was built in Japan…
