10 Pickup Trucks and Best Restomod Vehicles with Looks Worthy of their Capabilities

Every time I feature a video about new trucks, countless numbers of viewers voice their complaints that automakers have completely lost their touch and understanding of good-looking exteriors. Supposedly, today’s models cannot even remotely compete with the beautiful designs of the past. Well, since nothing is ever good or bad, except by comparison, let’s give the floor to the best classic restorations and custom-built trucks to settle the argument once and for all.

Some of previous #AutomotiveTerritory episodes that you may want to check out:

List of all vehicles that appeared in this #AT_Trucks release:

We should be grateful to the 2019 SEMA show, that motivated Mopar to build a stunning restomod, Lowliner, on the basis of the 1968 Dodge D200 Camper Special found in Ohio.

Those of you who feel utterly disappointed about the new Chevy Blazer and would rather see the original model return to the dealerships, will definitely enjoy this K5-based Seaker pickup from Ringbrothers.

Clem 101 by Ringbrothers is a vintage pickup truck based on the 1954 Ford F100, with a cab from the 1956 model.

Even though Jonathan & Jamie Ward earned their reputation in the business of restoration services by working on the Toyota FJ Cruisers, in my opinion it is the Icon Thriftmaster that steals the show within the portfolio of the California -based company.

To satisfy the demand for the ageless icon Mercedes-Benz G-Class the Expedition Motor Company sources ex-military vehicle spending 1000-man hours to restore each 250GD Wolf.

Though Jeep Five-Quarter is actually a one of a kind vehicle build specifically for the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari summit, it is definitely of those models that perfectly combine classic styling, off-road capability, and plenty of power.

Owning a classic car does not necessarily involve commissioning a custom restoration, since such companies as Streetside Classic carry a huge selection of classic and collectible vehicles in different conditions. Among their inventory, you can find this 1977 Jeep J10 Honcho, restored in 2014.

FJ Company is a subsidiary of a Florida-licensed automotive dealer Classic Motors, that specializes in rebuilding the 40-series Land Cruisers, manufactured between 1960 and 1984. Among their best-looking builds, we should highlight this G45 Expedition pickup, that is based on the 1983 long wheelbase Toyota.

Arguably the world’s toughest and most beautiful truck ever created, this is the tag line that the Legacy Classic Trucks in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is using to describe their Dodge Power Wagon conversion that took 1000 hours to build.

Old-time fans of the Defender were disappointed with the crossover nature of the newly developed Brit and probably will never let go of the body-on-frame construction of the discontinued generation. Luckily for them this is one of those models that custom workshops simply love to tinker with.

Just the fact there's builders who keep these old models alive and modernized is so awesome

I love the vintage trucks, to me, this is one of the best collections i have seen. Thank you for sharing!!

With so many thoughts about modern pickups being too luxury and dependent on modern technology, such awesome restomods are a joy to watch. Which of these do you like the most and would you pick them over any modern truck?

[johnbehneman]

Mine is a 1957 Chevrolet 1/2 ton NAPCO 4X4 restored. Sandstone beige original and 235 cu. in. thriftmaster. Love these old trucks, especially the Jeep Gladiators.

[HernanRNR]

I loved the vehicles and they lived up to the title but the voice over was so annoying I had to mute it halfway through this otherwise enjoyable and informative video.

[carlosmartoral]

Like the video . Prices are very high on these trucks so the average person cannot afford to buy.

[dustyhedger]

See, they told me I was getting old and cranky . A real truck was tough as a 10 $ nail and simple, it was for WORK . Still have my 1982 J-10 Laredo, someone start making body panels again PLEASE . Good vid .

[glassduck]

I had a jeep J 10 truck it was awesome I I went off-road and did a lot of crazy stuff with that truck

[charliedee]

All are sweet, however that Legacy Power Wagon and the RingBrothers K5 are off the hook cool!! 2 of the coolest looking trucks ever made IMO. If there was a modified like these 72 Ford Highboy the list would be complete.

[anthonytriolo]

I had a jeep Comanche and miss it and looking at the new ones looks if all the truck designer went to sleep.

[kapablekid]

Man'o'man, that defender... Good vid.

[ShaunPaget]

I was so impressed with the last new truck I bought and the effective hassle free "bump to bumper" warranty my newest purchase was a 1984 LTD AS IS! I've been smiling ever since. Enjoy the drive.

P.S. my insurance went from $200 a month to $7.00 full coverage.

I own a Icon Bronco and the restoration level is astonishing, truly amazing quality work in every detail but their restoration time is the longest I have ever experienced. It’s not a quality takes time issue, I think they just overbook. I also own a Legacy ‘48 4dr power wagon and the process was much faster. I’ve enjoyed the power wagon more, just because it’s so rare in Los Angeles. There are now tons of classic restored Broncos.

Can't wait to get one. Someday. 👍

How many builders put the gas filler caps in the bed of the trucks? They do an awesome job on the rest of the truck, so why not put the gas filler cap where it belongs?

[DB_-]

Absolutely amazing trucks combined wtih the most annoying narrator voice.

Auto makers used to know how to make cars and trucks. I'm restoring my International Loadstar so I can drive it to Walmart 😉
