Old Toyota Trucks Look Great With Fuel Wheels on Them

Everybody knows it; pickup truck fans are some of the most loyal; and devoted types of people in the realm of those who own vehicles. That is, truck owners aren’t as fickle and wishy-washy as people who own Cadillacs or Elantras. You have heard the old saying; once you go truck, you never go back. Ok, we made that up, but you get the drift anyway.

But sometimes, truck owners get stuck in a rut if you will. You see, when it’s time to buy another truck, they almost inevitably wind up at the dealership test driving the new Silverado or Ram truck. This is fine, but they are missing out on an entire generation of awesome trucks.

Just like a car enthusiast might check out an auto trader magazine and drool over a 1968 Chevy Nova, a truck enthusiast could do the very same thing, only with a truck. What we are so desperately trying to say here is that there are many trucks from decades gone by that are totally wicked. Check a few of them out.

1970 Chevy El Camino

Most of you might argue that the El Camino isn't really a “real” truck and we would likely agree. But the 1970 El Camino does resemble a truck, it has a cab and bed and rides on four wheels, it also packs an SS 454, a totally badass engine. This 454-cubic-inch engine supplied 450 hp, which enabled the El Camino to blast the quarter mile in the low 13s.

1984-1988 Toyota Pickups

The Toyota pickups produced from 1984 to 1988 are some the roughest and toughest pickup around, even by today’s standards. It’s probably why you see so many of them that have been turned into trail buggies. This pickup would reward you with year after year of excellent performance and a fun-to-drive personality. They also look great with Fuel wheels slapped on them.

1986-1990 Nissan Pickup

The Nissan pickup was often referred to as the “hardbody” as this little beast could take a whooping and still get you to grandma’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. And boy did people have fun driving these trucks, it was a rare occasion when you saw one that wasn't covered in mud or slime.
