I never owned any of them. *sigh* But I learned to drive in a 1950 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup.

My favorite is the "Dodge Sweptside", ugly but beautiful! [:)]

I am restoring a '48 Willys pick-up but it is no where as nice as those pre-jeep trucks.

Frame in done as well as both diff's. Just gonna start the transfer case when I get brave. My '39 9N Tractor is taking up my time at the moment, Kind of a love-hate relationship with it. If only it knew how close it has come to being sold for scrap :o)

Here's an Aussie one. A Holden 50-2106 Coupé Utility (which is what pickup trucks are called here). It had Chevrolet origins, as detailed here...
