1979-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup
In the ’70s, thousands of compact trucks a year were still being scooped up by Americans, and Volkswagen wanted in on the action. The outcome was the strange Rabbit Pickup, largely based on Golf mechanicals, a compact, American-built unibody truck. After 1984, the Rabbit Pickup was discontinued in the U.S., but its compact size and reliability kept it in production until 1992 in Europe. By swapping out the initial 1.5-liter diesel or 1.7-liter gas engines for power plants, transmissions, suspensions, and trim from a Mk, modern customizers have done great things.
