r/Minitrucks

Truck that a former coworker had. Love it because it’s different. Dodge but a Mitsubishi

87 ram 50 with the drivetrain from a 95 240sx with a big turbo (ka24de)

Its 95% original paint and wears its patina and imperfections with pride.

I drive it everywhere.

Clean title. Just needs a head gasket.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to track down my old 1986 Mazda B2000 base model truck just to see where it ended up and what it looks like today. I sold it about 20 years ago (around 2006) to a buyer who said he lived in the Clarksville, TN area.

It was a highly unique mini-truck that you couldn't miss. When it left my hands, it had these exact features:

• 🎨 Paint: Light blue body with a custom white roof skin.
• 🛻 Bed: Mismatched black bed swapped onto the back.
• 🔩 Frame: The chassis/frame was custom reinforced.
• 🔍 The Hidden Fingerprint: On the inside of the driver-side B-pillar (inside the door jamb), there is a distinct wrinkle/crease in the metal left over from a rollover accident.

Even if it has been repainted a solid color or modified further over the last two decades, that reinforced chassis and the hidden B-pillar wrinkle will always be there.

If you own this truck, know who bought it, or have seen a light blue/black Mazda mini-truck sitting in a yard or at a local shop around Montgomery County or Fort Campbell, please reach out! I'd love to know if my old truck is still out there on the road. Thanks! This was given to me by my Grandfather and I'd like to at least know what happened to it.

1980 Sundowner Sport

This has been a saga for sure. 2 months and 5 custom laser cut pieces later it runs really nice!

Rebuilt fuel system from pickup tube to carburetor (Weber ICH).

Full tune up: plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil and ignition module.

Upgraded to 90A Subaru alternator

Electric radiator fan conversion

Glass to blade fuse block upgrade (aux fuse box added as well)

Clutch master and slave cylinders replaced.

Heater core hoses replaced

Pcv system re-added (I had removed it completely before)

I still have a few things to do like a coolant flush/drain/refill and final carb tuning but as it sits I have it idling at 14.3 A/F and it’s suuuuuper smooth. I’m pretty confident it’ll pass my states emissions tailpipe test no problem 😉 but I’m planning on replacing the catalytic converter if needed.

I’ve kind of been avoiding tallying up the cost but with the new alternator, carburetor and fuel pressure regulator I think I’m all in around $1200 with fluids, hoses etc etc etc

I don’t know what it is, but lately I keep seeing all of these trucks that are clean and unmolested. I guess since I joined here I’m paying more attention to these trucks that I would love to have. Probably because I’m getting older I want it to be the 1990’s low rider scene again. I’m so old that I had a subscription to Lowrider Magazine. But here is today’s find. NFS as I expected.

I've been looking at this Blazer for about 14 years parked down the road & rarely driven. Owner said he doesn't sell the S10s he builds when I asked about 10 years ago. Well, today I got it!

Chevy 350 bored 30 over, 700R4, Holley carb, and 4WD. Needs some bodywork, shocks, and just about everything with a bushing up front but damn is she a blast to drive!

Based in Australia. 1992 YN85 Toyota Hilux (2WD, 2Y 1.8L with Jap Diff ‘G252’). I want it as low as it can go without modifying the chassis or bagging it. Roads in this part of the world are pretty good and I’ve owned low cars all my life but never a ute… I want this thing to be a permanent static daily-driver with style.

I have done some research and have read that common practise is lowering blocks in the rear, remove a leaf or two, adjusting tortion bar suspension for the front and have also read about shorter shocks and drop spindles for the front.

if you or someone you know has a lowlux in Australia and can help me out with where to look for parts that would help me figure this out.

the only kit I’ve found is in America but surely there’s Aussie-made or Japanese kits available? (https://www.belltech.com/products/lowering-kit-w-nitro-drop-2-shocks-444nd/)

help a brotha out

Looking to buy a mighty max. I'm assuming its frame, but is it welded or something I can take off and replace? This truck has surface rust everywhere else there is rust. Nothing this severe. Should I stay away? It runs and shifts nice. This is my main concern

I posted the other day about an S-10 I pass by every day. I forgot about this one that I see occasionally in my neighborhood. Love the color. I had a 91 Toyota in a similar color with a 3 inch drop and Prime 5 Stars on it.

The first picture is when I first got it, it’s now lowered with a 3 inch drop in the front and a 5 in the back, I also redid the interior and changed the ugly 3 piece grill to a beautiful one piece.🙃🙃

Posted before, received hate and love. 1989 Mazda b2200, upgraded brakes, suspension, wheels/tires.

This would be a very clean slate to start with. I would love to slam this thing and put on a windowless topper because of the long bed. Drive by it every day, unfortunately it’s not for sale.

Hello, this here is my '91 Mighty Max, I was wondering what wheels fellow MM/Hardbody/S10 owners run on theirs, I bought the truck with 18" SSR Viennas on rubber band tires but im not too in love with them. Im looking for something sporty looking that isnt RPF 1's or TE-37's. Thanks in advance.
