What is the coolest truck body that you have never seen run.

8 years ago I pulled into a fair and registered my pulling truck. I told them 1973 International. I got a dumb look. I said, yes, you heard me right. I heard the announcer question the existence of an International pickup. Everywhere I went I had people talking to me about it. It was never a high end puller, but it got more attention than your average dodge, chevy or ford!

It’d be interesting to see a Hummer body on a FWD. The Gone AWOL truck is always a head turner. I do like Nelson’s old school Chevy TWD as well.

So those are your ideas of the "Coolest truck body not used'? Heres a crazy idea try suggesting a body that has NOT been used instead of listing two that already have [one of which might be the most famous 4 wd ever!]. let me guess your favorite tractor name that nobody ever used is redline fever!

toyota tundra is one of the most amercan made and it would look cool as a 2 wheeler. honda ridgeline might be cool too [its barely a truck but its made in alabama].

The reason I stated 2 trucks that have already been used is because the only trucks that haven't been used yet are Japanese garbage. Call them "American" all you want, but the money all goes back to Japan and a majority of the parts are out-sourced from other countries as well.

Grubby the big three are all global companies.

Is a Tundra built in Princeton Indiana more or less "American" as the Rams built in Mexico? I drive a Silverado built in Ft. Wayne myself, and 2 Toyota vans built in Princeton, one with 269,000 miles on it...and I know folks who work or have worked at both plants, making good wages. These "Evil" foreign companies have pumped BILLIONS of dollars into midwestern and southern states...just ask folks in Smyrna, Tennessee or Princeton, Indiana or Maryville, Ohio how "awful" these companies are. Sure, Id love to see more domestic vehicles built here but once again, theyre global....

So....I like the idea of a Tundra, and I nominate the attached, a Brazilian Chevy C10 that looks more like a bumpside Ford more than anything.

I never said they were evil. Just that they weren't American. And yes they have pumped billions of dollars to make billions more all while skirting by on things like airbag safety and actual fuel economy. And then they don't hire any UAW workers so all those "high paying jobs" are really pennies on the dollar. But I only worked in the automotive industry for a decade, so what do I know anyway.

I always thought a Chevy HHR would be a great 2wd body.

I would like to see a 55 Ford (got a Chevy) as a late style 2wd. Often thought Jeremy could update his ole dodge to a HHR to match up with his father-in-law’s SSR, but

Can’t beat the look of a 53-55 F100 in my book, with a 55 grille being the best looking of the three.

With the re-launch of the Ford Bronco in the near future, that’d be a pretty cool look. I’ve seen a diesel suburban at a brush pull a few years ago. Can’t say that I’ve seen too many of those

I am really surprised I haven’t seen a 40’s Chevy body used. The 53 -56 ford is another one. 61-71 dodge swept line . There seems to be a lot when I start to think about it. My son thinks I need make one that resembles a early 30’s Bugatti. Got to give him points for creativity.

Yeah, tbucket 4wd, that'd be great, rain dirt on you worse than a unlimited mod tractor
I think there's a C cab 4x4 running down tenn- ken area or down that way

Strange that the "T-bucket" wasn't full of dirt like the genius above posted.

57 T-Bird.
Not a truck body but would be way cool!
John Hileman had a newer T-Bird body. Was it named the Sultan?

52 Chevy COE

44 Chevy COE

40 Chevy COE

I think it's gonna be tough to find a truck body that NOBODY has EVER used as a puller. Are there any Willys pickups pulling? Jeep is coming with a new pickup shortly. Some compact pickups like a Courier or Rabbit would make a decent TWD that not everyone has.

There are at least 3 Willy’s trucks right now. Steckler, Barbee, McDonald have one.

What about a Subaru Brat?? Lol But seriously a Chevy El Camino would be cool

Re: Coolest truck body not used March 05, 2019 03:24PM
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is a Chevy El Camino on a 4WD chassis. This was inside the David Palmer Civic Center in Danville, IL just a few years back.

There have been several El Comino's in the pulling world. The Baby Blue Knight has been running in OH for many many years. There was a newer style one the ran the NTPA circuit for several years. The last time I saw it Russell Korff ran it, I can't remember the name of the truck right now. I think the one Russell had started out as Ken Lamont's truck out of Illinois.

Anyone ever use a Diamond T? March 09, 2019 02:34AM
I like the styling on the '36/'37 Model 80s. Seems like they've got the width for just about anything - 4WD/2WD. Maybe even diesel.

Andy Deane Don Deane's son ran a 2WD truck with a Diamond - T cab for quite a few years in RN2 and Hoosier State pulling. Don't know what year or model it was. It hasn't been out on the track for 8 or 10 years.

Actually...yes. There are some guys in Ohio or Kentucky (I think?) using a hearse in a 4WD class.
