At OCC old pickup trucks have long been a favourite, and American pickup trucks in particular have always appealed. In this collection, 110 photos of Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, International & other pickups from the USA are gathered into one place, most of which I've photographed at various shows here in the UK over the last 20 or so years.
The older trucks in particular are our favourites, ie those of the 1950s and before, although examples built upto the 1980s feature here. The "Job Rated" Dodge pickups (1939-1947) and the "art deco" Chevy pickups of 1941-1946 are particularly great IMO. While the cars of the 1940s-1950s era grew ever more outlandish and became more and more dazzling with lashings of chrome and gadgetry, the contemporary pickups retained a workman-like vibe and didn't become too over-the-top in their styling, despite being updated year on year in many cases. Of course these old workhorses soon found favour with modifiers and customisers, and many examples did end up dripping with chrome appendages, shiny wheels, huge V8 engines and trick paintjobs, but for most, they spent their days in their factory specification, worked hard, and offered great practicality to their owners. Both standard and modified pickups feature in this upload, let me know in the comments if you have any favourite makes or eras of pickup truck.
While the Old Classic Car channel primarily sticks to content about old cars, it does occasionally veer into other transport-related subjects, shows and museum visits, so please take a look around before you leave.
