El Camino Conversion! 1975 Chevrolet Vega
The Vega was Chevrolet’s first foray into the subcompact car market in the early 1970s. While it was innovative in many ways, the car got a bad rap for its troublesome engine and premature rusting. Sedans, hatchbacks, and even… more»

Best Listing Ever? 1977 Chevrolet Blazer
One of the biggest struggles in reviewing sale candidate old cars is the listings. Some are endless in their micro-nausea detail, others are schizo in the way that they hop all over the place, and occasionally, they are dismissive… more»

Bookmobile Project! 1975 Hendrickson FC305
Founded in 1913, Hendrickson International today focuses on producing suspensions for the heavy-duty truck market. But prior to 1985, they were in the truck manufacturing business, which is where we believe the roots of this 1975 FC305 lie. Developed… more»

Running 1954 Willys Jeep 4×4 Truck
Growing up, my Dad had a Chevy C-10 truck that ran on LP (liquid propane) and I remember being super intrigued by this idea. He eventually converted it back to gasoline and I helped him with the task. I… more»

Short Bed Survivor: 1978 Chevrolet C-10 Silverado

Custom Chopped Bed: 1969 Ford F-100
Your eyes aren’t deceiving you and no, this isn’t another one of my oddball Photoshop exercises for fantasy vehicles that were never produced. This 1969 Ford F-100 Explorer pickup really does have a custom low box/bed for some reason…. more»

Clean As A Whistle! 1982 Chevrolet El Camino
I’m on the fence with the final El Camino generation, such as this 1982 example. I’m a Camino fan but most of my fandom has to do with gen-3 (’68-’72). Gen-4 is in fuggedaboutit territory but gen-5? Depends, good… more»

Fresh Paint and Motor: 1973 Chevrolet C-10
First of all, it’s hard to go wrong with a short-bed Chevrolet C10 pickup. The description pretty much writes itself, with most buyers and seller looking at the dimensions of the bed before anything else. So when you take… more»

Reduced Price: 1928 Chevrolet National Pickup
This 1928 Chevrolet one-ton, pickup truck struck me as interesting. Being a ’28 would make this a one-year-only AB National model, but I don’t recall encountering a one-ton version; prior discoveries have been of lighter capacity examples. Claimed as… more»
