Location: Under the X in Texas I've asked a friend in New Zealand what Aussie body builder might have created the ute-style body for that truck.  It does make for a great looking truck but not at that price plus shipping! bigears Posted 2009-01-28 1:14 AM (#160737 - in reply to #160646) Subject: Re: 56 DeSoto pickup truck???

Location: Parts Unknown These are so funky ! Looks like someone crossbred a 54 Dodge truck with a 36 Plymouth coupe and a Crosley pickup ! Wonder why these were so popular down under but never sold in the States ? phins Posted 2009-01-29 12:30 PM (#160971 - in reply to #160920) Subject: RE: 56 DeSoto pickup truck???
