Car based pickups

This is a render but there are conversions out there. Sadly I lack the fabrication skills.

Believe it or not, the bed was very wide, even though it was based on the Fiesta.

There was also a racing series of it:

This absolute horror show is a Chinese made Bamin, a company partly owned by the Chinese army and used to knocking out rough old military hardware. This thing was a Mercedes W123 rip off pick up, but based not on anything remotely Mercedes like, but the prehistoric body on frame BJ212 with a locally made 70bhp 2.4 oil burner. So not really a car based pick up but a hideous curio none the less.

Bamin went under in the late 90s.



Based on this

They would have been ahead of the game.

I'd often wondered what has inspired the Bentley Bentayga.

I really like the Holden, not so keen on the look of the Ford.

Skoda Funstar concept. I really really would have liked one.

X Class was a Nissan Navara in Drag

Amarok is built on the same platform as the Ford Ranger. Old one was it’s own chassis. The MLB platform doesn’t have the load/towing capacity needed for a commercial pick up.
