Supposedly, today’s models cannot even remotely compete with the beautiful designs of the past. Well, since nothing is ever good or bad, except by comparison, let’s give the floor to the best classic restorations and custom-built trucks to settle the argument once and for all.

Arguably the world’s toughest and most beautiful truck ever created, this is the tag line that the Legacy Classic Trucks in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is using to describe their Dodge Power Wagon conversion that took 1000 hours to build.

Defender 110 Pickup: chelseatruckcompany.com/trucks-for-sale/?slug=land-rover-defender

Old-time fans of the Defender were disappointed with the crossover nature of the newly developed Brit and probably will never let go of the body-on-frame construction of the discontinued generation. Luckily for them this is one of those models that custom workshops simply love to tinker with.
