Champ Pickup Compared to A Hyundai

My truck on BaT was just used in an article comparing it to another vehicle that rests on a car frame. Too many inaccuracies to mention. Read at your own risk.

Last plug for my truck... auction closes tomorrow at 1 pm. Price is up to $16,000.

I think we will agree, the Champ was not a car-based pickup. It merely had the front-half of a body that was derived from a car with the bed being a true truck bed and the running gear and bumpers from a truck. However, Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet ElCamino were car-based pickups in that they not only looked like their car counterparts, but they had the same running gear/suspension.
By the way, your Champ (or soon to be former Champ) should be on the cover of Turning Wheels.

Another mistake that they made was that they only came in a half ton version.

I mean, this regularity of inaccuracies I feel is standard stuff from that caliber of journalism. I'm taking classes in college right now so that I hopefully don't end up doing that. Best of luck with your Champ on BaT. It's as sweet as a nut!

Totally ignores the Express, or am I mistaken? Too many ads in that article.

Someone didn't do their homework. Shame, shame.

Tom I don't follow your statement, what only came in a half ton? the champ came in larger trucks up to the end, as far has the others who really cars? also the champ was made from the 4 door car body making the doors interchangeable with lark cars up to 63.

Hi, yes my post was poorly written. The article states that the champ only came in a half ton model. I was just pointing out the mistake. I know of a 3/4 ton for sale, but need to finish up a few other projects first.
