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.

Mopar Lowliner Concept: media.fcaemea.com/it-en/mopar/video/mopar-lowliner-concept-clip-01-eng
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.
Chevrolet K5 Blazer Seaker by Ringbrothers: ringbrothers.com/gallery/seaker/2427
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.
Icon Thriftmaster: iconthriftmaster.com
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.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class by Expedition Motor Company: expeditionmotorcompany.com/builds
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.
Jeep Five-Quarter: media.fcanorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=20732&mid=1
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.
1977 Jeep J10 Honcho by Streetside Classics: streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/1094-phx/1977-jeep-j10-honcho
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.
Toyota G45 Pickup by the FJ Company: fj.co/detail/1983-Land-Cruiser-G45-Pick-Up_387
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.
Legacy Power Wagon: legacyclassictrucks.com/p-34987-legacy-power-wagon-conversion.html
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.
Defender 110 Pickup: chelseatruckcompany.com/trucks-for-sale/?slug=land-rover-defender
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.
