V6 Five-Speed: 1986 Jeep Comanche X 4×4

I’m a big fan of small pickups and this 1986 Jeep Comanche X 4×4 checks a lot of boxes for me. First, it appears to be rust-free, it’s a 4×4, and it has a five-speed manual, the trifecta of… more»

Rust-Free Northwest Truck: 1994 Toyota Pickup

Having 74,436 miles, this isn’t an extremely low-mile truck, but that’s only about 2,500 miles a year over the last three decades. These Toyota pickups are known to go a couple of hundred thousand miles without much trouble and… more»

Indestructible 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser 80

43K-Mile V10: 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie SLT

Rolling in hard and fast with the deepest, strongest 3/4-ton frame of any American pickup of the era, Dodge’s newly-designed Ram pickups were somewhat revolutionary at the time. That new truck also used front coil springs on 4×4 pickups,… more»

Convertible 1989 Dodge Dakota 4×4

In the ’80s plenty of people were chopping the tops off their pickup trucks, but few manufacturers were doing the same. Dodge found a hole in the market and filled it. Obviously, a convertible pickup seems like a confusing… more»

Restoration Ready 1971 Chevrolet Blazer CST

American vehicle manufacturers began making smaller, off-road-capable vehicles in the ’70s, while Chevy opted for much larger versions. The K5 Blazer offered pick-up truck functionality with a bolt-off hard top option. These SUV-style off-road vehicles certainly have a presence… more»

17K-Mile Barn Find: 1993 Dodge Dakota Sport 4×4

Looking appropriately Barn Find’y, the seller lists this 1993 Dodge Dakota Sport 4×4 pickup as an actual barn find. That’s all they say about it, their description doesn’t give any ownership history, although clicking on the vehicle history report… more»

Upgraded Engine: 1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero

The 1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero was touted in Ford brochures as being “America’s lowest-priced pickup”, and having “New economy . . . up to 30 miles per gallon!” Low price and high mpg, that’s a hard combo to beat,… more»

El Camino Wannabe: 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

And now for something from the “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” department. The listing is a bit misleading as it describes this Oldsmobile El Camino-like truck as both a ’66 edition and a ’70 – it… more»

Vietnam Ammunition Vehicle: 1962 Dodge M37

Most of us have a dream garage, or at least a master wish list of vehicles we’d like to own. Two of mine would be a Kaiser Jeep M715 and another military truck like this 1962 Dodge M37. There’s… more»

BF Auction: 1960 Dodge D300

BF Auction: 1964 Ford F-100 Camper Custom

UPDATE – The seller has added a video of this truck on the road, so we are rerunning the auction! Be sure to take another look and cast your bids below. Ford’s F-Series trucks have been hard at work… more»

Cyclops, T-Tops, Jump Seats! 1982 Subaru BRAT

We’ve seen many examples of this unusual and cool little 4×4 by Subaru in the past, and some features are often asked about. Well, this one has them all. Disclaimer: the BRAT here doesn’t have actual t-tops, but flip-up… more»

Trucking Down Memory Lane: 1978 GMC Astro

There are fans of old-school big rigs on both sides of the Barn Finds spectrum.  We have several readers who are either fans or drivers of these trucks.  There are also a few writers here, myself chief among them,… more»

BF Classified: 1972 Ford F-250 4×4

Old Ford trucks from the ’70s always remind me of my grandpa. For much of my youth, he drove an aging but clean ’74 Ford pickup, all black with a square-rigged cap over the bed. As a kid, I… more»
