What is the meanest looking stock truck?

Apart from the H1. Im considering one instead of a Challenger, country as they may be.

But there's not much that interests me other than the H1. I like it's aggressive boxiness that looks like nothing else. but my parents denied it this afternoon, to no surprise. What I want is the closest thing to it, or better. Pretty much every modern truck has rounded corners :(

Oh well, I nominate the 81-87 Chevy C/K.

I think I agree with you, just wish I could get something like that here for cheap.

I don't know how to tell if it's really "stock" or not, but the 70s era F-250 looks pretty mean.

Kinja'd!!!

I think that looks better than the Chevy because of the slanted front end. It's good that these old trucks are cheap because the mods that I fantasize certainly aren't.

Mid 50s GMCs. Especially with worn down paint or primered. They're like sedans with steroid induced tumors sprouting all over the front end.

The 81-87 C/K isn't mean looking, it's quite a classy looking truck.

Check Sweden. They seem to like bringing over American cars.

The new GMC's are pretty nice. The old GMT400's are nice. Mid 70's C/Ks. First generation Ram, nice but hard to find I think.

Yeah, I can GET them here, but they are not cheap. A decent truck here would cost me 5k.

Ram Charger?

62 Galdiator is pretty damn tough looking.

Unless it's a wreck that kind of is cheap. Even here. I can still find them cheaper, but they seem to be slightly appreciating. Also, you seem to be the new BRT.

I bought my Ford Fiesta ('97) for USD 600, so 5k is not cheap :P

Yeah, I know I'm the new Brt, don't really mind though :) I "know" a few of the mods, they know I can take a joke.

But that's a Fiesta. We love our trucks and we don't give away our trucks for cheap. Most complete ones in my area seem to be around $2000-3000 minimum.

Guess I should've made it bigger and I'd see the "Jeep" badge near the front. Good looking truck that one is.

Wow, never thought a truck would cost that much in the US. But Minneapolis is rather far north though, could rust have anything to do with it?

The 92-97 OBS Ford's have a nice, no bullshit look to them.

Maybe, but trucks really don't depreciate quite like cars here.

Here let's look a Texas, here are a couple under $2000. These were quite a bit better than most in a similar price range.

It really depends on what you want and if you have the patience but generally $2000-3000 seems like a common range. This is just a small sample. You may be able to find a newer truck (with 250000+ miles most likely) in the price range you would be comfortable with.

Well, the US IS the land of trucks I guess :)

You bet! They're great vehicles. I love mine.
