Too bad the old Dodge P/U's were so BUTT UGLY.

(Compared to the other trucks at the time at any rate)

I still like the last of hte muscle trucks.. the Red Express.

 

[Summitdrinker]

A 283ci in a light truck would go pretty good. Looked good anyway...

283 in 50's ci's...gotta remeber that
is it even 100HP, 150lb/ft?

 

[Ornery]

Compare it to other cars of that era. The pickups were lighter than sedans back then.

 

[Summitdrinker]

there were 283's at 200 hp, and even a 283hp 283

early 60's dodge truck drag racing

that link doesn't work for me for some reason, but I saw a blurb on Trucks! about the Dodge "Dude." I'm not finding too much information about it on the net, but the Trucks! guy talked about it like it was one of the first sportier trucks.

Don Knotts endorses the Dude!

What about the Chevy El Camino with a 427 cu in big block?

 

[Summitdrinker]

hmm the linksw works fine for me

the dodge dude pickup, I don't remember that one.
the EL Camino was more of a car than a truck.
