Chevrolet’s AK-series truck design, which was produced from model years 1941 through 1946, has been described lovingly by some enthusiasts as the “Wurlitzer Chevy.” That is because the streamlined styling brings to mind the colorful, exuberant curves of Rudolph Wurlitzer Co.’s famous jukeboxes.

NEW ISSUE - The March/April 2021 issue of Vintage Truck magazine is available in our gift shop now and will be available on newsstands soon. Our cover story features a pair of 1949 Diamond T pickups. The article was written by Robert Gabrick and photographed by Brad Bowling.

No, this isn’t a magic trick done with mirrors. These two nearly identical Diamond T Model 201 pickups are owned by cousins Mary Bomgaars and Larry Moir and their spouses. The Diamond T’s eye-catching red color and attractive, car-like styling made Bomgaars and Moir lifelong fans of the marque. Their personal connections to one Model 201 led to its restoration and the purchase and restoration of a twin, whose serial number is a mere four digits higher!

Michigander Scott Domine set out in 2010 to create his Jeep “super truck”—a custom build, but using OEM Jeep, Kaiser, and AMC parts for a product indiscernible from a factory model. Domine’s history and longtime enthusiasm for all things AMC began in high school at age 16, when he drove a 1969 AMX during his junior and senior years. In addition to that AMX, he currently has a 1972 Javelin, a 1976 Pacer, and our featured 1976 Jeep J-10 in his garage.

When Terry Drury first saw our featured blue 1967 Dodge D-100 in Minden, Nebraska, in 1997, he did not believe it was stock. “That is a really unusual interior,” he thought. “Someone must have customized it and added the bucket seats and center console.” Little did he realize that he was looking at a Custom Sports Special (or CSS)—one of the most collectible trucks Dodge ever produced.

The fifth generation of Ford’s F-series ran from model year 1967 through 1972, and the company continued to emphasize that its light-duty pickups “work like trucks … ride like cars.” Its F-100, F-250, and F-350 did not trade comfort for capability, though, with maximum gross vehicle weight ratings of 5,000, 7,500, and 10,000 pounds, respectively.
