Peugeot 504D (Diesel) Pick Up Truck

This gorgeous, 1 owner, 82,000 miles, 1987 Peugeot 504D two wheel drive truck is currently on eBay. The simplicity, reliability, capacity and potential makes it very interesting! (To me ).

Wow, never knew they made a pickup. My Dad had a 504D back in the '70's around the time of the first "gas crisis." The engine was very reliable, but the car was a real dog in the acceleration department.

When first I saw that 504D, I immediately thought of a self build camper variation of this general shape, with side slide out, windoors and a pop top roof!

Having owned a number of 504's and using them for some pretty full on trips through central Australia, I can confirm that they are one of the best outback touring rigs you can get.

Best option would be to throw a turbo diesel engine from the 505 into it with a 5 speed gearbox. Easy to get a bit of extra clearance at the front and you could even look at a limited slip diff from a 505 gti or turbo. The turbo diesel engine has good power a torque but is based on the same block as what is currently in it so will bolt right in.

I love the camper conversion, but a rack with a rooftop tent would be pretty cool as well and could easily be removed to allow you to use the the car as a versitile pick up when not touring. Get it!
