so i want to get a small/compact pickup truck for my next vehicle, but with how huge pickups are getting now, i imagine i'll have a hard time finding one from within the last 10ish years that's actually "compact". i tend to like trucks from the 80s or 90s when it comes to design and aesthetic, like 9th generation F150s or 1st/2nd gen ford rangers, but i also don't know how good my chances are of finding a truck that old that's in decent shape and reasonably affordable. do you know of any more modern "compact" pickups that are still truly compact and not huge? or any tips for investing in an older truck that may or may not be in the best shape? you can also just use this ask as a platform to rant about the hugeness of modern trucks if you want bc it sucks
yeah the hugeness of modern trucks is absolutely awful and i hate it. there really isn’t, at least in the us, a true compact pickup anymore. the tacoma is massive, the ranger is massive, they’re all just enormous now. so the biggest killer of old cars in general but especially trucks tends to be rust. if you live somewhere where rust isn’t as much of an issue like the south or like desert regions, a once over with a mechanic and willingness to keep up with maintenance a bit more strictly than you might with a new car should be all you need to keep a lot of older trucks on the road. in terms of models i recommend toyota tacomas, chevy s10s and silverados, dodge dakotas, and ford rangers and f150s like you were looking at. if you’re in an area where snow and salt are a concern, like the northeast, try to find one that hasn’t spent as much of its life in the rust belt, or consider traveling to get one. if you can’t, then just try to find one with as little rust as possible, just know that rust will eventually cause a problem somewhere. but with proper maintenance, an old pickup will easily go for hundreds of thousands of miles, so don’t shy away from them just because they’re old!

How powerful is the engine in the 1992 Chevrolet S10 truck?
How powerful is the engine in the 1992 Chevrolet S10 truck?
These cars come in a 4.3 litre V6 engine and have some tremendous amount of power in them. This is a muscle car in disguise as a 90s car. The car has a decent 160hp but then again these cars weren’t made for high performance racing and are well used for hauling heavy things. 1992 Chevrolet ‘chevy’ S10 pickup truck Priced around $9,000 Please follow these links and look for discount codes on…

I have an idea it's for a pickup truck it's to go on a regular compact chassis and it's a small pickup but it's two wheel drive front wheel drive and rear wheel drive are terrible and with little reinforcing the payload can be pretty decent and towing capacity and certain chassis are perfect Chevy makes a great chassis for it it's almost a truck chassis and the chassis are just sitting there and they have bodies but people are not doing it and they'll do it for pickup and they'll get other vehicles going so I'm going to get it ready and I'm going to start making prototypes and it's going to be awesome and they won't look like SUVs and they won't look like minis and they won't look like small Chevys like the S10 but they will be a nice mini pickup truck and I have a model in mind and it's not cheap and it's not bronco it's something we used to make and it's an international and boy is it nice and in modernized and many it would be terrific they'd be everywhere so I'm going to start doing that now and he likes the idea and he's going to make his and his is not the bronco it's the Jeep and the guys are on it and they're going to make the mini version and it is a pickup truck and there is a version of crew cab with a short bed and they're going to make those too it's an awesome work truck there's a lot of small people around and they're going to buy these things like there's no tomorrow I'm going to start the prototypes and Monday we're going to start issuing kits
Thor Freya he says this will boost production of automobiles to stellar and I know it I'm getting ready and we have to do other things first the mini pickup truck is selling like madness and there's several versions it's selling more than the original mini and we will be in trouble in minutes and I'm going to put this out there so I need to say we need to hire people and I'm projecting it in 2 weeks we need this many so they can try and sign people up and we're going to start to do a conscription drive it's a great idea is to go to churches and synagogues and temples and schools of ours and to create a conscription drive or sign up drive really it's not conscription. And for children too it might even be what we've always needed to do and he's a child and I'm sort of getting it if we hire the children we don't have to worry about them getting mudeled and we have them doing jobs that won't have that happen
They're sort of seeing something they can do work around here and they'll have support it's going to be good this might be what we've been looking for I'm glad we started talking about this and a boy is kind of a child but he's not it's like a bear no he's like us we're going to get this right but he resembles us too and so do they and a lot of us do most of us but let's let's just say that he likes my idea a lot he's been thinking about it and wondering how to get it going and they knew we're going to do it and she did too and they've got the Jeep and they're ready to do it and people are going nuts they said this is the best idea we've seen but remember you do have to reinforce the frame on the torsion and the force on it is going to be incredible and a little bit of testing and you'll be there
Test it manually take 300 of them and put certain reinforcing in 300 different ones and 300 more and it works
Thor Freya
We have a lot of kids for a lot of vehicles but these are going to sell like madness madness okay and not real high up in the air their front wheel drive they can go in the snow and sometimes they do better because they don't have the rear wheel spinning I mean if they do pretty good in the snow and our son said that this he was driving his Honda is his dad's and it drove really nice in the snow better than any car they just had better than his Ford pickup truck he was amazed it did better than the truck you can see it doing better it stayed right on the road when you screwing around with it

Part 2 of I80 as a neighbor
Another time,  I was leaving to deliver my oldest to a buddy’s house, when I noticed a Jeep wagon just pulling over on the shoulder of the interstate. It was a nasty icey spitting windy day. Figured I better pull out into the field by the fence at the interstate, to see if things were ok.
Lady and a young woman in the car. I’m standing at the fence, and they’d roll down the window a crack and yell all sorts of stuff I couldn’t hear. I said come to the fence.... Jeep wasn’t running.
Again lots of voices that couldn’t be heard. I jumped over the fence and as I walked up to the Jeep wagon, I heard the door locks go. I got to the Jeep and they cracked the window even less. I had to stick my ear right up to that crack to hear. I also noticed that they were hiding a very young girl between them.
“Everything is fine, My husband is right behind us.... he’ll pick us up....”   I told them ok.... that’d I take a quick look if they wanted....    “no we are fine.”
I told them they are more than welcome to jump in my truck, and I’d take them to the house so they could get warm. “no no no... the mechanic is right behind us, we are fine”...
Husband and now mechanic.... they are spooked!! They feel I’m a threat. wow
Some more conversation.... “I know you farmers are good people.... I trust you but...”   ..... “lady I’m no farmer” before I could finish my sentence...   “well you look ok....”    I’m a fireman....”  “ I know you fire men are good people” .... “ and a linesman” ....   “no we’re fine, they’ll be along any minute”.
Eventually I had to give up, she wasn’t having anything to do with what I was selling, as I’m some sort of interstate day light child rapist. “lady, I’m going to be gone for 45 minutes, if you are still here, I’ll come back out” ....   “ok”      it really was chilly out there for the 3 of them, but what ever, and no heat.
Got back from boy delivery, and there they still were. I drove out to the fence again across the field. Climbed the fence again. Again she cracked the window...  pretty much all 3 cold now. She hands me a piece of paper, and says “ this is our mechanic/neighbor, he knows us, call him and tell him where we are, and we need help....”    Again I invited them to the house to warm up.... No no no... we are fine.
I got to the house, called this guy. I gave him her name. He had no idea who she was, but said he’d drive the tow truck out there.
Traffic was pretty slow on the interstate with they blowing icey rain. So it wasn’t hard to see when their help finally showed up.
An hour and 30 minutes later, a tow truck putts down the interstate and jumps across to their side.
An hour and a half.....    somebodies kids got really cold.
One warm summer night, I was listening to my scanner in the living room, and heard of a chase, being performed by the State Troopers. Sounded like they were coming our direction.
Sure enough, they were chasing a Chevy S10, at a slow rate of speed. I’d say there were 8 Troopers following this pickup.
Suddenly the S10 slammed on his brakes. Trooper slammed into the pickup and another knicked that car, and headed for the median only to hit another Trooper ...    
S10 the reversed direction.... and the circus drove off to the west of us...
One fall evening, I was gone somewhere... not sure where, when a Guy all hopped up on “meth” came to the back door.
He was a mess, hallucinating, jerky, crazy stories, etc.   Patti answered the door with Norton and Gertie. These huge dogs freaked the guy out a lil bit. He went on with his crazy, and Patti handed him a phone.
In the mean time, she called me on her cell phone. I’m blazing a trail home, to help.
I arrived and the only thing I could think of was to get this guy loaded into my truck and off the property. Some how with a conversation I convinced him to get in, and I hauled him to Lincoln north edge, to a run down motel.
Turns out he wasn’t really a threat, although scary to be around, he was terrified himself of what he had imagined happened to himself on the interstate.
Also Patti or I got a call in to 911. They responded to my house, where I had already picked up the guy. They called me in my truck on my way back from delivering this guy.  I told them where I had  left him, and they headed to Lincoln.
Here’s a sadder story to finish this up....
This was fathers day. Directly in front of my place, an older car broke down. I had seen Driver and Lady trying to work on it several hours. He came over and borrowed a couple simple tools from me and my neighbor.
Car was older and run down. 
He finally gave up, and gave me the story. Being it was fathers day he and his girl friend were heading to the Womens lock up in Lincoln to see his daughter. He didn’t have a car, so he had to borrow one, and it failed obviously. Personally I wouldn’t have taken that car on a test drive let alone from Omaha to Lincoln on the interstate.
Their clothes were clean, and it looked like they had made a hard attempt at looking presentable. But you could tell they didn’t have a penny to their name. Teeth missing, language, .... well you got the idea.  The guy was deflated, as he knew he wasn’t going to see his Daughter. 
Had to help them out. I ended up hauling them to their home in Omaha. Dude was so overwhelmed with my help he insisted that I take one of his new puppies. Pit Bull. Now everyone loves puppies, and they were a handsome litter. But I have no use for a Pit Bull (great breed or not). I think I hurt his feelings on not taking one. 
It wasn’t a good day for this guy,.... but I got him home.
I’m sure there are more stories but none come to my memory... I’ll likely add to this as I remember...

I love little trucks, but the only new ones on the market are Kei Trucks, which aren't street legal in most of the US. What old little trucks would you suggest for someone who wants one for small projects and a backup vehicle.
get an old toyota tacoma, chevy s10, or datsun pickup! jeep comanche too, just make sure it’s for the 4.0L I6 engine and check your oil levels. if you’re willing to go 80s or 90s, those are all cheap, easy to maintain, smaller than a modern civic, and run forever with good maintenance! they’re bigger than
also a lot of older kei trucks from the 90s and early 2000s can be imported into the US now, i see older hijets and actys all over the place around me. they don’t do great on highways but are totally legal to drive. i’m in the northeast, my mom has a friend with one down in the carolinas, so i can at least vouch for some of the east coast being cool with them being on the road!
