Wagons into pickups

Dee Wescott in Boring OR built a rolled over Olds 98 or some model into a nice shop truck back in the 50s, maybe Carl has restored it, I heard they had found it somewhere.

 

Here are two more pics of the 58 Chevy from the SEMA Show.

 

Stolen pic, it has some better pic's and a build info in one of the mags............................

 

Why not just buy an El Camino and go from there. The ones turned into pickups look as goofy as the shortened 55- 57s.

 

58's make a good lookin' pickup....Nice !

Choprods work is spot on in the conversion. Elkys and Rancheros are far more common.

 

Thanks for the extra pics guys!I am not a fan of the big wheels but I dig the rest of it! It looks like they might have used an Impala windshield when the chopped it?

 

Actually there were Utes built by Mopar.

 

there was a 59 Cadillac that a guy around fargo had, done very nicely. and at a local wrecking yard there was a 57 Lincoln Premiere done well. it was built by an implement company i guess.

 

Who was drivng, Karl Malden or Michael Douglas?........uh never mind.........

 

Thats pretty cool, won't see another on the road I'm sure.

 

That Chrysler would really make a wild ride. I had a friend in Tulsa that had built a 61 Chrysler, wish I could have seen more than pictures of it.

 

What, I've never seen any, factory made i mean. Australians had those that i know but from US?

 

Saw this at ukdrn.co.uk (UK drag racing nostalgia) site.

 

I've got 61 Impala four door itching to have the C pillar moved over the B pillar and a bed to be put in.

 

Not a wagon, but....

 

This one might be of interest...

 

That is so cool. Thanks Dave.

 

SWEET PEA is a sweet custom......

 

My 56 Custom ElCamino started out as a 2door 210 Station Wagon.
