Not mine, but a friend in North Carolina was at the WalMart this AM and saw this...what happens when a Coyote meets a Chevy...


I need a dent in my car so I can get one of those.

That's hilarious!  Of course, only a certain generation will understand that reference.

Hey! I'm 53 (but yes I get it!)

I'm exactly as young as you are, and Wile E. was a staple of my childhood! Come to think of it, did Acme preview Amazon?

I'm 41 and watched my fair share of Looney Tunes.  I think most of what little my kids watch on Netflix is garbage, but they do love "Grizzly and the Lemmings".....and when you really think about it, it's just a modern Wile E. Coyote / Roadrunner reboot.

Forgot that at one point Chevy/GM made extended cab trucks (not full 4 door) with 5' beds.  Saw one yesterday...just weird looking, proportions are off, and what a useless truck.  Cab is too small and so's the bed.

Ford built them, too (aside from the Raptor).

[Triple Bob]

That does look weird.

[Blueprint]

Even weirder are late-model trucks with single cabs and short beds:

[Fobroader]

How the hell do you screw up a reg cab/short box, this was the best looking truck for ages!!!






Even a goofy looking Dodge Fargo looked decent



Even Ford did it right in the 90s

[tortoise]

Man, I have a soft spot for the old flare sides.

[Blueprint]

All the front clips are proportioned for larger cabs, making them look goofy when attached to a small cab / small bed combo

My uncle had one like this, in a dark purple, that I drove for a bit.  When it wasn't trying to kill me, it was super cool.

I always had a soft spot for one of these, would love to have one with a 300 I6, 5 spd manual and 4x4. The ones around here are all rusted out, rez rockets unfortunately.

Yeah, my brother had a lifted Dodge 4X4 shortbox back in the day, the 'Little Red Express' type with the stacks. High center of gravity, short wheelbase, basically a square

He rolled it on its roof in snowstorm, we went back the next morning and flipped it back over by hand like a beachball

[Bubba]

Saw this in Kenora, ON, in September.

Me too, there was one for sale locally many years ago that was really tempting for $2500 or so.
