Desert Find: 1962 Ford F-100 Unibody 292 V8

Other than a convertible pickup (I’m looking at you, Dodge Dakota), I can’t think of a more interesting design or configuration than a Ford Integrated Body truck, more commonly known as a Unibody. I’m biased as they’re by far… more»

Clean Club Cab: 1993 Dodge Dakota

Compact Camper: 1971 Datsun Pickup

There are some vehicles you can just tell have lived a charmed life. From the condition to the options, the photos simply tell you that it’s been loved since Day 1. In the case of this 1971 Datsun pickup,… more»

460-Powered 1993 Ford F-250 SuperCab 4×4

A few years ago, my father-in-law sold his ’95 F-250 SuperCab 4×4. Powered by the famous 7.3 Power Stroke, I made the mistake of letting his truck idle outside my dining room window on a cold day after I… more»

Patina Pickup: 1979 Ford F-150 4×4 Short Box

Some trucks just have “the look,” don’t they. Patina is polarizing, but this ’79 Ford could be in the background of a country music video or, with a few modifications, the 43rd Mad Max sequel. It’s light on rust (except… more»

Barn Find Hauler: 1971 International CargoStar

After about 50 years of ownership by the City of Chicago, this nifty car hauler sold at auction about two years ago, according to the seller. Now it’s up for grabs here on Craigslist, where $9999 adds it to… more»

Power Windows! 1959 Ford Ranchero “Ute”

Ford introduced not one but two new creative products in 1957 that were not matched by Chevrolet (at least right away). One was the Skyliner, the car with the retractable hardtop. The other was the Ranchero, a utility vehicle… more»

Lumpy as a Can of Busted Biscuits: 1945 Dodge Truck

Some vehicles featured on Barn Finds can charitably be described as down on their luck.  They may have lived a hard existence, yet somehow managed to live to see yet another new year.  The mere fact that they survived… more»

Dusty Highboy: 1973 Ford F250 4×4

Ford F250 “Highboys”(not an official Ford term) were abundant and relatively cheap about a decade back; now, they are seeing an uptick in prices and popularity. Highboy is typically the term used for the 4X4 versions of the trucks…. more»

Time Capsule: 1990 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat 5-Speed

Looking great in Pawnee Tan and either Dark Shadow Blue or Twilight Blue, this 1990 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat SuperCab is even more interesting having a five-speed manual and being in time-capsule condition. This is a rear-wheel drive truck,… more»

Enjoying a Second Life: 1923 Ford Model T Pickup

Between 1908 and 1927, the Ford Motor Company sold over fifteen million Model T Fords.  It was the car that put Americans on the road, and the love affair that this country had for the Model T continues to… more»

Only 30k Miles? 1969 Ford Ranchero

The 1969 Ford Ranchero was marketed as a sleek and sporty luxury pick-up. Ford designed the car to have excellent handling and offered a variety of powerful engine options. The example at hand is said to have 30k miles… more»

How Would You Use It? 1941 Ford 1 1/2-Ton Truck

Years ago, I found an orange ’46 Ford half-ton for sale at the local antique festival, and I ogled it awkwardly for two days before deciding that it wasn’t quite right for me. Regretting that decision, I later found… more»

460 Trailer Special: 1979 Ford F250 Ranger Lariat

“Lariat” topped Ford’s truck trims in ’79, and this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat 4WD in Tacoma, Washington ranks among the fanciest ’70s trucks we’ve featured. The two-tone Supercab rig may or may not have languished in a barn,… more»

Pre-War Workhorse: 1940 Plymouth PT-105

This 1940 Plymouth pickup is nothing if not simple. No modern truck boasts simplicity; even a fender bender can cost over $1000 after replacing our all-important parking sensors and other high-tech doo-dads… trucking necessities from marketing one-upmanship. How many… more»

Original Paint: 1969 Ford F-100 Flareside 5-Speed

The seller of this 1969 Ford F-100 Flareside Short Bed pickup went wild with photos and in a very good way. I don’t remember seeing so many photos of a vehicle listed in an online auction. Nice job! If… more»
