Home made pick ups.

I think the fullback (at least in the UK) was an L200/Triton with a fiat badge.

You are correct, it is a rebadged Mitsubishi L200

[martc]

The South African single cab one has a touch of the orient about it. Further investigation confirms it too is a re-badged L200. Anyhow back to the home-made pick ups (unless someone lives in FIATs factory).

I imagine this will go down well here on this forum:

Ok, it’s not a pick up (it could be if you take a grinder to it) but it’s definitely a DIY marriage of a W126 and a Renault Express.

This was at the 2CV World Meeting in Scotland in 2005, hauling die-cast models IIRC.  It was raining* there, too...

Fuck me you have a good memory.

Not quite home-made but within the spirit of the thread I think.

Aircraft carrier captured by John Powell:

1966 Ford Zodiac Pickup GRW 655D by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

With the lengthy bonnet and long rear deck it has a bit of a push-me-pull-you look.

I may have posted this one here previously:

Actually, is it a pickup or a coupe with an insanely long bootlid?

Some logic in starting off with a Cabriolet.

Apparently they did a few Rialto pickups, but none of the Robin.

1973/74 Moskvich Pickup by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

Not technically homemade, but not factory either.

1982 Citroen Dyane 6 Pickup by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

Possibly a kit?

I've posted this picture in another thread,not sure if the Moskvitch is home made or not?

[flat4alfa]

I think the answer is in the post above

At first I thought it looked factory made because of the rails on the side,but the back window gave it away.Apparently,the photo was taken in 1981,so it wasn't even that old.

It's a trayback, the idea of a trayback is that they don't have wheel arches intruding in the load space which is convenient and makes construction simple. Does not compute.

Get a load of the two and eight of this. 12/10 for effort, but why not just start with a knackered yank pick-up, save time and have it actually look like the thing it's supposed to look like?

Because it’s easier and cheaper to start with a knackered Land Rover Discovery, the shonky panel fit and questionable electrics are fitted at the factory in Solihull.

I never quite understood why Pixar put the eyes in the windscreen, everyone knows the headlights are the eyes. Also when Sally flashes her headlights does that mean she's flashing her tits?

Good fun films though.

In cars 2 there was a French car with her eyes in her  headlights which freaked out Mater.
