Hindustan 10 modded into a pickup-truck.

v12 · 20th November 2005, 15:08

Anyone passing by Team-Motor Works in Santacruz will notice this Hindustan 10 moded into a pickup truck. The car has been moded by Team-Motor Works. I guess its been used as a breakdown truck.

the best looking breakdown truck i have ever laid my eyes on.

WOW !

It would break my heart if this creation is being used as a break down truck!

Excellent effort!

And it shows...
But doesn't the loading area look too small? Maybe they could've elongated the chassis, dunno if it's possible with this vehicle, though.

This Hindustan 10 was under its restoration process last time I visited Suraj of TMW. Looks like its completed now. Good effort there

I dont think the vehicle is meant to carry any load - its created to look like a not so bad replica of the classic Chevy pickups favoured by rednecks and the Klan

Nice way to get almost every damn thing out of the Pickup-truck...the front grill could have been made bit more appealing(not that this one isnt appealing...). It looks like the truck that comes in the cartoon "Noddy"

,the graphix sit the vehicle,nice combo... the paint job makes the truck look rather small...thay should've lengthened the wheelbase a bit.

moralfibre · 20th November 2005, 16:28

Good job done. Paint job has awesome finish.

ananthkamath · 20th November 2005, 17:42

Good job; but they shouldnt have modded the front end...it looks like they have done it in FRP. I would've preferred the original and also a black car with yellow flames.

The wood runners on the bed are a nice touch though.

sridhar24 · 20th November 2005, 19:51

Thats a very good effort and it looks very attractive especially the paint job, but think they could have worked a bit more on the front.

autopsyche · 20th November 2005, 21:18

Agreed, the front bumper looks a little out of proportion, could have been better with a metal bumper for the original look.

carfreak · 20th November 2005, 21:21

anyway guys it was a genuine idea and done quite decently too.good work!!really.keep it up buddy(whosoever did it)

lamborghini · 20th November 2005, 21:48

Hey bro,
nice pic.
Doubt it is being used as a pickup truck.
Anyways,
Any one know where TMW is located in santacruz?

i think its a great effort ! looks like one out of a "desi pimp my ride" style ! btw i agree with the front bumper ... some chrome effect would bring out the clasic look.

Safe.

Now that's one good looking Hindustan pick-up.Could be even better with:
1.15" or 16" alloys with wide rubber
2.A black or darker shade of blue with more gloss.
3.The standard front end,albeit a bit more PIMP.
4.And last but not least ditch those cheap chinese m/cycle mirrors!
