Lets see some pics of 40s and 50s cars converted into pickups

anybody have pictures of 1940s or 1950s cars that have been converted into pickup or el camino/ranchero type trucks?.....please post only ones that have been done tastefully,,,ive seen plenty of examples of hideous ones,,,that betty brite shampoo truck (bailon?) that was recently found is one of the nicer ones,,,and there are a couple in the barris series of books,,,,i know there were a lot more built though...

 

What about pickups converted into cars??? Now that would be more interesting and much less common! I know of the one sweet ass 65 of 66 Chev pickup here on the Hamb with the 354 Hemi and Imperial treatment, now that is MUCH cooler than el craparo conversions!!!

 

Here are a few.

Billy Gibbons has a 49 ford chopped into a truck. Ill see if i can find some better picture

 

You do know what a "Ute" is, right?

Do a search on "Utes"

I dig 'em.

 

Kopperhead is a 50, and as far as I know, not a pickup...

 

My mistake. You are correct. Ive only seen small pictures only a handfull of times and couldnt remember completely

 

These are Mopars from Australia. They get all the goodies.

 

I Don't know if you'd call this "tastefully done" or not, but...

 

Some of those trucks are funeral flower cars--the Buick is and the 49 Cadillac in the set of 6 pics.I really like the cool coupe cabs on them.

 

here is a drag truck i did with a 51 stude car i cut in half and made a bed of 16 gauge and 49 ford pickup rear fenders , the back of cab was from a 55 ford pickup . 2x3 chassis with sbc and narrowed 9 inch it ran 9.80s with a 383 and carb on gas and 8.60's at 154 on nitrous ..........great car..

 

check out the super nice 57 elcamino on e-bay right now. #461918084

 

I don't know if I did it tastefully or not but then how many Frazers do you see in a day let alone Frazer RPU....
48 Frazer cut in half...home manufactured cab back...80 something S10 box that was reskined and has a set of 49 Chevy fenders cut down to fit...home made rear roll pan and smoothed tailgate...I have since replaced the metal roof with one I made from a tube frame and fiberglass...

 

interesting post

 

According to the sign, this started life as a 4 door

 

57 Chevy and other 50's El Caminos = Cool
Later years like late 70's and 80's El Caminos = Mullet of cars. Business in the front, party in the back.

 

1949 hillman.was a 4 door now is a pickup.
