and thats right its forsale 1995.00$ not bad for a volvo truck..

[Chris_R]

That's pretty baller... but the little side windows kill the profile.

2k is a lot of scratch for that, but not bad considering they sacrificed 2 cars to make it.

I'd rock it.

[Nick]

I'll start growing my hair out now...

[340GL]

i saw something similar near me but i've only seen it once. it looked to be a hacked-up 745 with the rear bulkhead directly behind the front seats, so it had a pretty huge load bed. only seen it once, and didn't get a picture, sadly :(

[Gene_GaTech]

man thats awesome. Greatest "home depot run" car ever.

[Captain Slow]

is it a volcamino or a Rancholvo?

[Chris_R]

I'll start growing my hair out now...


just the back Grasshopper, just the back.



:-P

[schaff70]

Kaplhenke Racing side windows FTW?

[Matt]

Awesome. That is all that is needed to be said about that.

However, one rear quarter window would have sufficed.

+1 on Volvamino.

[norcal505]

i'd hit it if it had a regular style back of the 'cab' more upright.
i've seen better 'traktors'

[Matt]

I cant find a good picture of the VS Commodore ute, which is what the cab would look like if it had only one quarter window. So here's a VX with a massive Roo bar on it.

Here's a somewhat ok picture of the VS cab.

[Lord_Athlon]

The two side windows give it a sort of Wagon Queen esque profile. One would have sufficed. Otherwise, its one of the better ones Ive seen.

[YLD244]

+1 for commo utes, even if the ones you posted are probably the most ugly ones ive ever seen!!

[Ursan]

you guys took 'mad max' WAY too seriously.

[Matt]

Those roo bars are rad, haha. I wish we had something as awesome here in the states.

[WheyDey]

you'd just put it on the dashboard.


:nod:

[stefanapolis]

Looks too much like a Dodge Rampage:wtf:

[bullitt210]

Thought about doing this myself.....

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1762/panel5asz2.jpg

[Matt]

That could look awesome. Just take the tails out of the rear quarter panels, smooth those over, and put them in the bumper.

[cjstephens]

you guys took 'mad max' WAY too seriously.

Lol. Yup.

Feral utes are so kickass.

All it needs is a rear quarter window, a la the Aussie Utes, and it's amazing.

[tomwas]

Should be a 720 designation, saw a nice one at the final Volvo open house in Rockleigh NJ, only 1 quarter window but the rear door handle indents were left in place, looked a little odd. With all the clean work that was done they weren't smoothed over....

[Matt]

Wise guys, okay, 742........

[Matt]

That would be a coupe. :P Try 74U.

[JonnyP]

This is one we built a few years ago, It doesn't look as nice anymore. Now its used for hauling stuff at the shop. We call it the Vol-CA-mino

[TurboBrickMan]

I'd rather buy my neighbor's elcamino with a blown 350 in it.

[TurboBrickMan]

Somebody needs to make one and put a hottub in the back.

[ovlover]

that actually looks alright, if it had one rear quarter window and a flatter ute back, it would be awsome, that and in a turbo

I fitted one of those bars to a VY ute the other day, fark they are disgusting. We call em either Yeehaa bars, or five posters.
Friggin B&S tossers.
However, if you REALLY want one, we can get them in...........

740 rear hatch glass hey?

[Matt]

Why do all the Swedish ones have orange triangles on the back?

[GrandmaSideways]

Why do all the Swedish ones have orange triangles on the back?

Officially they're farm equipment.

[CFL940]

That thing is hideous.

[pinguin]

Looks too much like a Dodge Rampage:wtf:

At Midwest Mopars, I saw a dodge rampage that made me drool, and as I looked at it, I noticed that I had something resembling a Kielbasa swelling behind my zipper...
The owner had chopped the roof, and it looked ****ing sick!

[340GL]

...I noticed that I had something resembling a cocktail sausage swelling behind my zipper...

:rofl:

[Forg]

These pickups are just awful. The Swedish people know how to do pickups.
Not on the basis of those. Unless you were some moronic bogan (an Australian redneck) hick, the only reason to have a ute is 'cos you want to carry dirty stuff; and those Swedish ones have got almost zero carrying space!

[MikeHardy]

why do all the swedish ones have no load space

worst case

thats becouse of some silly rules dictating the size of the bed on tractors (they are officially registred as tractors)

it cant be bigger than 10 square centimetres per 100kg curb weight, but no bigger than 1250 square centimetres

[JonnyP]

740 rear hatch glass hey?


With functional wiper lol

[MikeHardy]

if there registered as tractors there limited to 30mph too aren't they?

[-Daniel-]

if there registered as tractors there limited to 30mph too aren't they?

Yes and acually, it´s 30 km/h = 19 mph.
Since there registered as tractors there legal to drive at the age of 15.

[cuaz64]

Very interesting, all of you stole my idea!:lol: Very nice, very nice.
