Agreed, the Mahindra would be nice to have available.
If I were in the market for a pickup, I'd look for a 62-67 chovey,
frod or dogde.
Or an international
Then put in an OM603
New "pickups" are ridiculous,both in bed height and in price.
Cheep should resurrect the old pickup with the same 16 ga sheet metal,
not the 30 ga (or plastic) like current wussified crap.
Or international should start building light trucks again.
If someone would build a basic tough truck, people would buy it. But
there is a lot more profit in selling $50,000 yupified wussmobiles.
But for that kind of money, I could buy a Mercedes.
I have to say that there is a world of difference between a new F150
Supercrew and a 60's Chevy pickup.
I have had 2 of the Supercrews now and have loved them both.
I also had a 1968 C10 Chevy for about 24 years.
It was a good truck but not nearly so nice to drive and ride in as the
newer ones are.
One can still buy a very base 2 wheel drive pickup new. That is what
most of the trucks were back in the earlier time period.
My father always had a pickup truck and I don't think he ever owned one
with carpet on the floor.
They were usually bare bones work trucks without even a radio installed.
Times have changed and although it is sometimes fun to remember the
"good old days", I personally think that vehicles have gained a whole
lot in the past decade or two.
