Saw this on Harvest Hills Blvd this evening. It appears to be a older style Caravan converted into a truck. It looks like a pretty decent job in person minus the Yosemite Sam mud flaps and wheels. I like how they used the same back window as the caravan too. Props to the owner!

From reading this thread, it use to be some 90's styling era thing called mini-truckin/truckerossa?

Cool points for originality.

No. This is not mini-trucking.
I also LOL'd in that other thread when someone mentioned that a Chevy Astro with those mods looks like its from Japan. Totally wrong. I'm just curious...if you don't know what mini-trucking is, when were you guys born??? It was all the rage in the 90's.

The owner lives up by me, drive past it every other day, Its actually a really well done conversion.
I just don't get why he wouldn't go buy a little baby truck instead of putting all that work into it, really Rangers, Sonoma's and Colorado's really arent that expensive :dunno:

Seen this puppy this morning and while yes it's different and some will question why - it looks like the work was carefully done.
