In our mini truck collection, we have an s10, ranger, yota, and b2000, so to complete the family:
-a datsun (or nissan, not a hardbody) -mitsu mighty max -isuzu (i'd even take an Hombre just as something different)
I also think a boxy Ranger would be tight.
I would also like a Trailblazer SS or a Lightning, but with gas the way it is, and not being able to remotely afford something like that, it probably won't ever happen.

I want the GMC driven by Colt Seavers in the fall guy TV series. The truck was an early '80s GMC 4x4 with a brown and tan two tone paint job with a big eagle painted on the hood. The truck screams REDNECK and I love that. The TV show was destroying those trucks by the day with all the stunts they used the truck for. Evetually the production department got smart and had a shop built one specifically for jumping, it had a full cage with a mid mounted motor and aggressive suspension much like the moster trucks had back in the early 80’s. As much as I would want the actual mid engine one from the show it wouldn’t be ultra practacal so a look-a-like will sufice. The question becomes, do I build a long bed or a short bed with tan or brown interior, because both versions were used in the show.- I bet the producers didn’t think anyone wold notice.

The guy above has a Toyota and Mitsubishi and wants a Datsun, another Mitsubishi and an Isuzu and complains about prices. Does he not understand by sending our dollars overseas it makes them worth less so it takes more to buy gas and everything else? It is NOT a global economy until other countries buy our stuff like we buy theirs and $60 Billion more leaving this country than comes in every month causes dollar devaluation and price jumps. Personally, I would like some classic American iron. A two door Suburban or one of the original vans, either Chevy or Dodge (with pushbutton trans selector) would be super to have if they could be found without a lot of rust/damage, etc. Minimal work, please.

I would love to have a twin turbo twin intercooled LS1 or LS2 S10 and just be able to find a place to drive it flat out.

The new Denali pickup in white with the 6.2 smallblock and 6 speed auto is cool but I wish it was available with a regular cab and not just as a 4 door. Four door pickups just don't do it for me. I had '02 and '03 F150 HarleyDavidsons and superchargers or not, they were all show and no go. My current Ram SRT-10s get the job done much better but my wife needs an automatic due to a bad knee, so the Denali is lookin' good!

the SRT10 in standard cab configuration gets it done but the quad cab with the automatic is weak sauce.
the Denali is just Ok. GM needs to build teh 427SS truck. I'd be stoked on that one.

There is a guy in the subdivision where I live, he has a Dually Ranger......Like 88-91.... I've never seen one before, but I had a friend tell me that they were acually in production......Like it sits now, it looks as thought it should be following the sanford and son junk truck to the dump.....If ya know what I mean, It would be super unique and really trick with a body drop, tuckin 19s it would be super bitchin'

Daily driver has to be a 2008 Silverado Dually crew cab 2wd with air ride. Stock rims would do just fine but they'd have to be Alcoa upgrades.
Project toy would be an old S10 pro stock truck from early 2002 or so.....if you remember the NHRA class. It was an awesome class but just didn't last. One of those barely legal enough to drive on the street would be SICK! Gotta have NOS with twin purge nozzles to let everybody know how sick it truly is.

Might as well throw in a huge enclosed trailer painted to match the Dually so everything matches...
The wife better get a second job...
LOL!!!

I wish I had a C10 They look soooo sick done up all crazy of course, but I'd be cool with a simple, mellow bagged one. Too expensive to feed and just not gonna happen for me...probably ever....
i'd still rock a trailblazer ss, but again, not gonna happen.

I'd have to go with something OLD SCHOOL. A '41 Willys street rod truck would be too cool for it's own good. Put the biggest Hemi under the hood you can find and cruise all night long.
No copycats...
