Car Parts 2011

Before there was the El Camino there was the coupe pickup. Simply remove the trunk lid and slide in a bed and you've got a truck. Beginning as a business coupe which had a shorter roof length and no back seat (so you can put all the shit you intended to sell in it) there was an optional model where you could also convert it temporarily to a truck. Now there were Utes at the time as well but with this style you could have a car or a truck, how awesome is that? Now I've seen Utes but I have yet to see one of these rare beasts with a bed in all my hot rodding years. It is truly a unique, funky, and cool vehicle. It was ahead of its time and a real odd man out...

The F2000 has something the Ford Raptor doesn't

We've got something familiar yet different for our third installment of Freak of the Week, where for every weekend, Weimann, Chin, and I look for something balls off the wall crazy, weird, or just polarizing and worth talking about.

Now for those of you who don't know, the East Coast has been hit with a pretty hefty snow storm. Naturally, when a snowstorm strikes, the only choice we've got is to strike back! What better to have than a trophy truck?

This one here is the Ford F2000 Pre Runner.



Imagine if all that sand was snow! Now if you're thinking that this is nothing but an old Ford Raptor, you're making a big mistake. I'll let you in on one thing that the F2000 has that the Raptor does not.
