Tough Truck: 1997 Ford F-350 XLT 4×4 Diesel

A major box-checker and a contender for Barn Finds’ best photos of 2025, this beautiful 1997 Ford F-350 XLT 4×4 Diesel is one cool truck – well done on the photos, seller! It’s nice to see someone care enough… more»

Over Sand Ready: 1989 Dodge Raider

There’s a segment of vehicles that has been relatively sleepy for some time; what I mean by this is the collector car market hasn’t been exceedingly hot for genuine SUVs that were sold by Japanese manufacturers in the 80s… more»

Perfect Patina? 1978 Ford F-150 460 V8

We’ve discussed and/or debated whether surface rust: i.e., patina, is considered “rust” or not many times here on Barn Finds. When I think of rust, I think of rust holes, probably because I grew up in a snow country… more»

Vintage Semi Truck and Trailer: 1949 Ford F-7

If you do the math, only a small percentage of cars and light trucks survive beyond their first ten years.  even fewer are preserved or restored in some way.  Those numbers plummet when it comes to heavy-duty vehicles.  These… more»

Nicest One Left? 1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5

There’s no denying that old Toyota trucks of almost every variety will be in demand if they’re in good order and not terribly rusty. Of course, the desirability only spikes further if the truck in question has low miles,… more»

BF Auction: 1949 Ford F-1 Pickup

If there were a light-truck hall of fame, a few trucks would be first-round shoo-ins: Advance Design Chevrolets, perhaps the Second-Generation Dodge Ram, and definitely the first-generation Ford F-1, such as this ’49 that’s being offered as a Barn… more»

1993 Dodge Ram W250 Club Cab LE 4×4 Diesel

We’ve seen some nice Dodge diesel pickups here on Barn Finds lately and this 1993 Dodge Ram W250 Club Cab LE 4×4 Diesel is another good-looking example. Having had “one elderly owner since new”, this one appears to have… more»

Cheap Project: 1961 Ford Ranchero

Ford scored a pair of firsts with its Ranchero. The first “first” is obvious: They came to market two years ahead of their arch nemesis, Chevrolet, and its El Camino. Their second first was their decision, starting in the… more»

1 of 3,000: Rust-Free 1988 Ford Ranger GT

You’re right, that grille isn’t a factory Ford Ranger GT piece that would have been on this truck when it rolled off the assembly line. You’re also right that I’d be sourcing an original-style grille on day one after… more»

One of a Kind? 1959 Buick El Victamino Project

To the best of my knowledge, Buick has never produced a pickup truck. At least not in the 1959 model year when the new mid-range Invicta model was introduced. The seller has a ’59 “El Victamino” for sale which… more»

Mechanically Rebuilt 1950 Chevy 3600 Pickup

What’s better than a Chevy Advance Design pickup that looks like it rolled out of a Norman Rockwell illustration? One that’s been mechanically restored, that’s what. This 1950 3600 (the 125″ wheelbase, 3/4 ton version of Chevy’s pickup truck)… more»

1979 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 W/429 V8

Candyapple Red is quite a color on this 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger XLT 4×4 pickup, especially in the sunshine. This is just on the cusp of the “highboy” era but by 1979, it wouldn’t have officially been known as… more»

1977 Dodge W150 Macho Power Wagon 400 V8

I thought 1978 was the first official model year for the Macho Power Wagon, but they were starting to be produced in early 1977. Looking pretty good but needing some work, as with a lot of us, this 1977… more»

Armored Behemoth: 2015 Terradyne Gurkha LAPV

After a few years with a Mercedes G-Wagon, you might start surfing the web for an SUV that’s even more excessive and over-the-top. This 2015 Terradyne Gurkha LAPV (Light Armored Patrol Vehicle) offers combat-tested capabilities and luxury features that… more»

Cheap Wheels Project: 1970 Ford Ranchero GT

  Ford launched the Ranchero as a “coupe utility” (Ute) in 1957, and it ran continuously through the 1979 model year. From 1966 forward, the Ranchero was based on the midsize Fairlane/Torino, including the “aerodynamic” 1970-71 models. The seller’s… more»

31K-Mile Survivor: 1991 Mitsubishi Mighty Max

It’s unusual that we’ve only seen about a half-dozen Mitsubishi pickups here on Barn Finds over the last decade or more, out of the thousands of vehicles that have rolled through the cyber doors here. Maybe it isn’t that… more»
