  • Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader

    Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader

    The seller claims this was built for desert warfare at a cost of over $100K; but doesn’t say by whom nor how that adds up to a $9,900 asking price today.  Regardless, it’s certainly odd. This was apparently built to be seriously durable and the images back that up, what with beefy axles and suspension.…

  • Makeshift Crew Cab: 1947 Diamond T Truck(s) w/Free Bullet Holes

    Makeshift Crew Cab: 1947 Diamond T Truck(s) w/Free Bullet Holes

    One way to make a crew cab when it wasn’t originally offered it simply to bolt/weld on an extra cab.  Here’s your chance! Not only do we like any deal that involves parts of multiple vehicles joined in a way not originally intended by the factory; but we love any vehicle ad that says “besides…

  • Bronx Cheer?  No, Bronx Electric Truck!

    Bronx Cheer? No, Bronx Electric Truck!

    By today’s standards, this truck looks homemade, but a closer look reveals it is simply a very early, electric van.  In this case, very early means 1906, according to the seller.  Before the internal combustion engine won, there were many electric vehicles on the market.  This one is a commercial van and the seller claims…

  • Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup

    Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup

    Are you tired of driving around looking like everyone else?  If so, a homebrew, Crosley-based truck might be just the ticket! This is rumored to have everything necessary to be street legal, and there is an old inspection sticker on one window; so there could be hope.  That being said, the single-cylinder lawnmower engine isn’t…

  • 4Runner Pickup Conversion

    4Runner Pickup Conversion

    Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989?  Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off.  Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…

  • Redonkulous, Oversized Ford Pickup

    Redonkulous, Oversized Ford Pickup

    Does your neighbor’s new one-ton dually make your 3/4-ton pickup look puny?  Maybe you need this Ford F800 with a custom, 14.5-foot bed. We all know there are full-size truck buyers who actually use trucks and then there are the 85% of the private truck market for whom these are all about masculinity defined by…

  • Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Structural rigidity?  What’s that? This Chevy dually has had its roof chopped entirely off and its windsheild chopped, as well.  No roll bar was added for support, so this much have ‘interesting handling.  The only good news is it’s body on frame, so, in truth, it’s less of a handling problem than an overall rigidity…

  • Oh, It’s Just a Cab

    Oh, It’s Just a Cab

    The International RC180, often called the “snub nose” is a cabover truck with something of a following due to its funky, retro looks.  This one’s an Oddimobile because the strange pics grabbed our attention.  It turns out it’s an incomplete project. It seems the seller was going to mount this on a Chevy S10 frame…

  • Aircraft Tug – You’ve Always Wanted One!

    Aircraft Tug – You’ve Always Wanted One!

    Admit it, you’ve stared out the airport windows and admired the vehicles.  Here’s your opportunity to get your grubby little hands on an actual airport tug. This is powered by some sort of inline six and the seller claims it has an automatic transmission.  What else do you really need to know and how can…

  • UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!

    UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!

    A first-gen Ford SVT Lightning is something of an Oddimobile in any case, as this was the only ‘performance’ version of this generation of F-Series and, frankly, was fairly modest.  This one isn’t exactly stock, however, and one of the mods is what landed it on this page. There originally had a mildly hopped up…
