Hey Arcanine, I've never seen one of them (rebadged) Ford pickups before. The only thing close to that, that I remember is the Chevy Luv pickup. I think dodge had a rebadge little pick up too, but I don't remember the name.


Chevy Luv=Isuzu
ford Courier=Mazda
dodge d50=Mitsubishi

interestingly enough, all 3 still have ties with these Japanese company's

I always thought AMC vehicles were interesting using different manufacturers parts. Generally the engines were AMC, Automatics were Chrysler, Power seats were GM, Steering column was GM, P/S pumps were Saginaw(GM), ignition systems were Ford duraspark(usually), A/C/heat look GM. Did they use Spicer axles?

I owned a lot of Volvo's over the years. They did the same thing in the 80's. DAna rear axles, Aisin automatics, Saginaw P/S pumps, engine was Volvo, Brakes were ATE or Girling

Yeah those amc vehicles were pretty cool. They made some fairly ugly cars too but I always had a thing for the gremlins though. I don't think I'd want a vehicle made of different parts. With so many choices on the road, I have no idea what made them want to combine like that. First time I seen one of those dodge mitsu trucks, I was like wth?
