anyone else here gotten so desperate they're considering buying a truck because rwd
cheap rwd platforms are so hard to find in my area that i'd honestly consider buying a truck
im american though so no ute
are there any trucks that are basically sports cars
trucks that are like inasharu d tuner cars?
any poorfag trucks that fit this category?
Short wheelbase
lightweight
decent suspension
manual tranny
pretty good handling
relatively good stock engine
quick, n nimble, n fast
to be honest i dont even care that much how well it performs actual truck duties or off roading
i mean its either this, wait several months to find an s chassis or list a supra/newer 300zx for reasonable prices, or settle for a civic,integra, or prelude
probably just a pipe dream but ill throw it out there for some touge/circuit trucks that can run in the 90s with the best of them

What are the Ranchero and El Camino for $500, Alex?
>>14161431
>not knowing they know what they have
But seriously, they're getting thin on the ground.
>>14161424
S10 extreme, GMC cyclone, Toyota tacoma sport, Ford Ranger sport
Panther platform is the best you can do if you want cheap.

G-bodies are everywhere, what the fuck are you on about?
>>14161452

Nigga wut?
>>14161456
El Caminos are all over the place?
>>14161456
fucking nope
You know Jalopnik reccomended the Porsche 924 and 944 to teenagers who wanted a cheap hoonmobile?
here's the excerpt
"A Porsche might not seem like a sensible choice for a teenager, a good 924 or 944 will be dead reliable, easy to work on, and beautifully balanced. Plus, 924s can be had for not a ton of money and the later 924S had a detuned 944 engine. Just avoid turbo versions of both."
As someone who owns a minitruck, take the fucking Integra or Prelude or whatever. It's fun in a dumb way but it's not good for anything other than commuting or chucking stuff in the back.
D22 frontier rcsb 2900lbs same 4 popper as the s14 with a different intake manifold.
Only down10hp and up 150lbs

>>14161467

>>14161424
V8 swapped s10 or ranger is the answer
>>14161501
bullshit. lower your standards
I have an old hilux with some parts thrown at it. Skids for days and will shut down most full size trucks in a straight line. Removed the load leaves though so not so good for hauling heavy things anymore
>>14161511
those cars are impossible to find here aside from the miata and even then
>>14161517
It was 92hp. Now it has 93 or possibly more

I don't know small toyota pick ups that well but one went past me last week with the distinct sound of itb's screaming away, was pretty quick too
BMW.
>>14161555
it sounds like hellfire that's for sure.
>>14161536
Nice. A set of sidedrafts is a bit more than I am willing to spend. Going to build a 9.5cr 22R lower and pop my 20R head on it with an offy manifold and Holley 500 I have from an old circletrack car.
Should be good for about 180hp with a little head work and os valves
>>14161549
Corry lives in Miami so I posted a miami Craigslist. That's decent pickings right there, you can always wait for more to appear.

A dog of an engine yes.
>2xR series shit
I'd say if you're in the market for a small and fun truck to keep an eye out for a Dodge rampage. They go for fairly cheap, usually Manuèl, and are super fun despite not really churning out Mach 1 speed... And if you feel like you gotta go fast, you can swap the engine with a La Baron engine, or a GLHS with a turbo to it.
>FWD tho
It works surprisingly well for a small truck. Super aggressive cornering, and if you really really want rwd, the La Baron again is your solution. A whole engine /transmission swap and you'd be the talk of the town.
Or get a jeep Comanche. I hear they put out quite a bit of pep as far as small trucks go. You wouldn't be paying boomer/cholo tax either. You would be paying special snowflake jeep tax though.
>>14163169
>tfw there used to be a kit to convert Chrysler G-Bodies (and I would guess that includes K-Bodies?) to RWD. A FUCKING KIT.
And then they went out of business.
thats nothing compared to aus.
the only things rwd made after 2000 are commy's and falcoons. and they are 99% auto
or there is the unreliable and shit bmw's
OP, a Ford 302 or 350 SBC swapped Mazda B2200 is your answer.
>>14161424
>are there any trucks that are basically sports cars
No because trucks are meant for carrying loads and won't have enough rear grip when empty.
>>14163194
hey, but we have a shit load of utes that OP can never have
get an e36
>>14161496
sounds like faint praise.
stop shitting on fwd
>>14163184
>talking about g and k bodies
>to a post about an L body.
OK, I'll give you partial credit as the La Baron is a g body.
what about that ford f-150 jeremy clarkson reviewed? that would be easy to find.
