18 INSANELY Rare Pickup Trucks! You May Never Heard Of!
We'll uncover 18 of the Insanely rare pickup trucks you've probably never heard of. Get ready for an exciting ride through time with treasures like the Ford Durango, the Plymouth PT 57 from 1938, the elusive Powell Pickup Truck, and the astonishing Ford Sky Ranger. 🌟
From the rugged terrains handled by the legendary Willys Jeep to the stylish cruise of the Ford Ranchero GT, we've scoured the corners of the truck world to bring these almost forgotten heroes back into the spotlight. Witness the elegance of the Studebaker Coupe L5 Express, feel the power behind the Chevy Big 10, and get a taste of nostalgia with the iconic Chevrolet Apache. And many more.
Each of these trucks has a story that’s as intriguing as their engineering. Did you know the Ford Durango was a rare breed that offered a glimpse into the future of pickups in the 80s? Or that the Plymouth PT 57 was a stylish marvel of its time, sought after by collectors worldwide? We’ll explore why these trucks were ahead of their time, why they remained under the radar, and what makes them incredibly special to collectors and enthusiasts today.

You need to get your facts correct. All makers had a heavy half ton in 75. That's when ford started making the F150. Dodge had the 150 also. The Ford uni-body pickups were body on frame.

I have to admit I'm a bit stunned to see the "Durango" in this video. Even more that they mentioned my brother Jim Jr. and I. There were others who helped with building the prototype. George and Katy Goudie made the fiberglass molds for the bed and tailgate, George Price and Bob Moore helped with bondo and paint work. My brother Jim and I worked on all that as well. My father sold the rights to produce them to a company named "National Coach". They made Airport Shuttles at the time and were looking to expand. They did OK, but there were some issues in their production line. They are a collector car now though and worth restoring if you can find one.

A friend of mine knew a junk yard owner in the city. He was informed by the owner a 1962 Ford unibody was for sale with an almost perfect body and low miles. $600 would by it (that was mid-70's). He asked me if I wanted it and I said yes. I borrowed the money and gave it to my friend who was going to the city on business. He came home with the truck and it was better than I thought it would be, with one catch: my friend now wanted the truck. He gave me the money back and kept the truck for himself. He had helped me on many occasions so I let it slide. Well, the first time he went for a long ride it overheated and never ran right again. Someone had put radiator sealer in it and plugged the whole engine up. I wasn't a mechanic and neither was he so it was sold for junk.

Funny. When you get to the 55 Chevy Apache, you keep showing a 57 truck, while the Apache didn't come out until 58. And when you talk about it's 265 cid V8, you're showing a modern LS engine. Then you talk about the 68 Ford truck with the 390 cid V8 being rare (which is was not), when the 68 Mercury M series truck with the 428 cid V8 was even more rare, and the last year of the Mercury truck line. This type of misleading confusion is peppered widely throughout the entire video. 🤣

@JW...-oj5iw 18 күн бұрын

You should be sure of what you write, especially during criticism. Whoever put this video together is barely literate or at least subliterate. As for engine selection in late '60s Ford pickups, the 360 was more prevalent than the same block 390. The same block 428 was rarely found in those trucks. The 429 was more likely to be found in the F350s, especially cab/chassis models for commercial use. And I don't even GAF about Fords. I just used them when my employers assigned them. My choice is primarily Chevy from the mid '70s. Some of the most versatile cars and trucks were built in that era.

Do some research - if ford wanted to compete with gm on the durango they would have done it. Also it wasn't till 78 that gm trimmed the el camino down to a newer malibu style. Gmc made a sprint from 71 - 87. I had a 73. They were way lesser mad than theel camino so they are rare. Dodge made a rampage from 81 - 84 with a four banger. Subaru made a brat rancheros were ugly is why ford quit making them and needed a better platform - but they drooped the ball
