8 Most Forgotten Pickup Trucks of All Time!

8 Most Forgotten Pickup Trucks of All Time!

We're going to talk about 8 pickup trucks that most people have totally forgotten about. These trucks might not be famous, but they're super cool and have some awesome stories. Let's check them out!
First up is the Powell Sport Wagon Pickup from 1955 to 1957. This truck is crazy because it was made from old Plymouth car parts! The guys who made it went to junkyards to find parts from 1940-1941 Plymouths that people were throwing away. They fixed up these old parts and used them to build new trucks. How cool is that?
Next, we've got the Hudson Big Boy C28 from 1947. This truck was special because it was like a mix between a comfy car and a tough pickup truck. Back then, most vehicles were either one or the other, but the Big Boy could do both jobs. It even had a radio with foot controls, which was pretty fancy for a truck back then!
Third on our list is the Ford Durango from 1979 to 1982. Don't get confused - this isn't the Dodge Durango SUV. This Durango was Ford's way of trying to keep making car-trucks after they stopped making the Ranchero. They took a Ford Fairmont car and turned it into a pickup. They only made between 120 and 212 of these, so they're super rare now!
Number four is the GMC Sonoma GT from 1992. This truck was nicknamed the "poor man's Syclone" because it was like a cheaper version of the super-fast GMC Syclone. It had a powerful V6 engine and some cool sports car features, but it didn't cost as much as the Syclone. They only made 806 of these, which makes them pretty special.
Fifth, we've got the 1979 GMC Sierra 1500. This truck was part of the "square body" style that a lot of people love. It was great for work, but it also looked good enough for regular people to want to drive it around town. These trucks are getting harder to find now, which makes them really popular with collectors.
Number six is the 1955 GMC Blue Chip Pickup. This truck was a big deal because it was one of the first to offer a V8 engine option. It also had a new 12-volt electrical system, which was pretty high-tech for the time. The Blue Chip had a cool new look with a wraparound windshield and hooded headlights.
Seventh on our list is the Studebaker Champ from 1960 to 1964. Studebaker was running out of money when they made this truck, so they had to get creative. They used parts from their cars to make the truck's cab, and they even bought the design for the truck bed from another company! It might have looked a bit weird, but it shows how clever car companies can be when they're in trouble.
Last but not least, we've got the Studebaker Transtar from 1956 to 1964. This truck was Studebaker's last try at staying in the truck business. It had some cool features like a fiberglass grille (which was lighter than metal and didn't rust) and a comfy ride thanks to its special suspension. They even made a cheaper version called the Scotsman for people who didn't want to spend too much.
