Though antique pickup trucks make for great collectibles, there aren’t many around that remain in good enough condition to be properly restored. This is likely because of the hard work for which they are typically used. Most car enthusiasts take a different approach – the custom. Low-slung bodies, smooth lines, and big power are the hallmarks of this movement, usually with a bit of flare. Check out some of the interesting trucks we’ve seen lately.

As they say, there are customs, and then there are customs. Some take a gentle approach to the art of automobile customization. Some prefer to make there’s a bit more evident. And then there are the wild things – cars that are noticed everywhere they go, for the looks, the sound, the performance, or a combination thereof.
