So, there was no Mopar equivalent of the El Camino or Ranchero back in the day. Not totally true.

Even better is the Ute I bought from Oz Hemi, wish he was still here... Wish I still had it, sold it two years ago.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

On my wish list...wont ever happen but would like to own one I've had the idea in my head for a while that you could use a 63'-66' Valiant/Dart wagon as a base which is probably what the factory did to make the Ute down under. You'd cut out everything from behind the B pillar and voila, Valiant Ute. I don't like the way the "cab" was treated for those though, seems like an afterthought so my other idea was to find/use the curved rear section of an A100 truck cab and somehow graft it on behind the pillar. An A100 is an "A" body after all.

There is a local guy here in Houston who converted a 66 Charger into a "ute", not my thing but looks like it could have been factory. Will see if I can find some pictures.

I've had a couple two tree Rampages in my time, and a nice 83 Scamp that I sold to a guy in Japan! The first one I bought was in 1987 shoulda kept that one, black 4-speed with A/C...
