460 Power! 1973 Ford Ranchero 500

I’ve always had a “thing” for Chevrolet’s El Camino but have been indifferent towards the Ford Ranchero. I’m not sure why, after all, Ford beat Chevy to the introductory punch and jumped on the downsizing trend several years in… more»

25K Original Miles: 1995 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

There comes a certain point for every car enthusiast where a model you once loved from afar or from within the confines of your own garage is no longer available as the cheap runabout that you remember. The YJ-series… more»

Slant Six Project Truck: 1985 Dodge D100 Short Bed

There are times when using the right word matters, and one of those times is when marketing a product. Take, for example, this 1985 Dodge D100. The brochure calls the on-again, off-again D100 model the “Miser.” “Miser” is not… more»

Low Rider: 1976 International Scout Terra

Just before the Terra arrived on the scene, International Harvester was losing its tenuous position in the light truck market. Beefy competitors Ford and GM with their extensive dealership networks were trouncing IH, which had introduced its truck line… more»

Old School Trucking: 1930 Mack AC

We all know that the automobile replaced the horse as the primary means of transportation in America.  When it came to pulling heavy loads, draft animals such as oxen, mules, and horses also gave way to the truck.  In… more»

Ran When Parked: 1955 Ford F-500 Farm Truck

There must be an underground movement among owners of old Ford farm trucks in Michigan this winter, because it seems as if they’re all up for sale. This 1955 F-500 (the ad says F-550, but I can’t find any… more»

V6 4-Speed: 1963 GMC Deluxe 1000 Fenderside

1960s GMC pickups are cropping up here on Barn Finds and that isn’t a bad thing at all. Sadly, this 1963 GMC Deluxe 1000 Fenderside pickup appears to be wearing a 1964/65/66 Chevrolet grille for some odd reason. That… more»

Nicest One Left? 18K-Mile 1994 Toyota Pickup

Great-looking Toyota pickups are coming out of the woodwork lately, and this 1994 truck is another fantastic one. Dark Blue Pearl paint is hard to capture but you can see the color in a few photos. It looks black… more»

Hemi-Powered 1985 Dodge D150 Pickup

From the outside, this 1985 Dodge D150 Custom SE Prospector looks fairly original. Its lowered stance and custom wheels suggest it might be slightly modified, but it looks fairly original. It turns out, it’s anything but stock, but in… more»

Stored 26 Years: 1949 Studebaker 2R5

South Bend’s finest, what a beautiful truck. With a one-piece windshield, this would really look like a modern truck, even more than it did at the time. It was a low, sleek design by Studebaker’s own Robert Bourke –… more»

Parked Three Years: 1958 GMC 150 Stepside Pickup

Today’s drivers would think driving a truck from the ’50s is a primitive experience, but in the day, trucks were evolving rapidly, and the 1955 to 1959 GMC “Blue Chip” series must have felt like a dream compared to… more»

Rust-Free Ragtop: 1989 Dodge Dakota Convertible

1989 was the year that the first McDonald’s in Moscow began construction, which has absolutely nothing to do with this beautiful 1989 Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible, but I thought it was an interesting 1989 fun fact. Much more fun… more»

305 V6 4-Speed! 1964 GMC Wide-Side Pickup

We don’t see a lot of GMC trucks here on Barn Finds, especially first-generation models. Similar to Chevrolet trucks, GMCs had a few differences but the family resemblance is unmistakable. This one appears to have been painted red over… more»

50K Mile V6: 1995 Mazda B3000 SE 4×4 Cab Plus

Reverse badge engineering at its finest, this 1995 Mazda B3000 SE 4×4 Cab Plus (Mazda’s version of a Super Cab/Club Cab) started life with the same DNA as a Ford Ranger, in case you were wondering why it looked… more»

Miner’s Workhorse: 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser

You love to find vehicles with a story. Even more intriguing is when you find a now-desirable vintage vehicle that reveals how it was used when it was new, which is usually not nearly as glamorous as the current… more»

Buick-Powered 1969 Jeep Gladiator J3600

Someone on Kaiser-Jeep’s staff had a knack for product naming in the 1960s. This truck was called the “Gladiator,” the short-lived overhead-cam six was the “Tornado,” AMC’s 327 V8 was the “Vigilante,” and it was replaced by a “Dauntless”… more»
