The Volvo Truck is Finished!

[@billniland5997]

Congratulations!! I've owned 28 Volvos, and own a 58 Chevrolet Cameo, and my friend Doug owns a 55 Oldsmobile converted to a pickup...so we are more qualified than most to appreciate all you did, GREAT JOB!!

[@pommez4668]

Grettings from sweden! I also own a Volvo pickup its really common in sweden its like a car but you only need to bee 15 to drive it and its the same licens as moped but it can only go in 30km/h the type of the veichle is called (a traktor) if you Google it you Will get an idea:) btw to get it to go in 30km/h you take the gearbox from the Volvo amazon called m40 and put it bakwards behind the gearbox called m47, then you get the gearing to go 30km/h thats the rules how ever.mine is an Volvo 245 1993 d24 engine converted to d24 tic! Im already on my second engine swap/reabuild im gonna pick it up next week (b230fk) turbo verision of b230 but you already know that..great video and nice Painting!

Awesome work! Found your videos because I was researching pickup conversions because I'm going to cut up my Mercedes W124 into one. This series has been really helpful in figuring out what I need to do. Thanks!

You should start a business of professional Ute conversions, becuase this is absolutely amazing, very well made conversion. I would totally buy this in a heart beat. Truly a beautiful work of art.

The wooden bed was a really cool and classic looking solution. I love it. Awesome look guys!

Excellent work guys. Glad y'all put the time into it to get it done well and to your liking, I know I would have hacked some corners but it really is a great looking vehicle!

[@kylerutherford1756]

Fantastic job y'all. I've got a 91 244 and an 89 245. The 244 is my current project... Exterior is done (very close... Possibly same paint). Moving onto an LS swap now. Join the Volvo LS swap Facebook group for resources, tips, knowledge etc on the swap, and post some pics of this beauty in the Volvo 240 fanclub group!

[@closingtime]

I have done a few truck builds. Econoline van, Olds Cutlass, Geo tracker and VW wagon. I cheat when it comes to the floor of the bed. Our junkyards always have full sized truckbeds that are wrinkled up in the crush pile. I trim out the load floor and cut to fit my needs. Your project came out great. One nice feature of the Volvo is once you pull the shocks, you can swap out the springs for heavier duty coils. As long as they are same diameter. Paint a Swedish flag on the roof!

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

Wow, as mentioned in about 100 comments below, thease type of "pickups" are quite common in sweden (they're re-registred to tractors). Pretty impressing and nice that you guys took the time and buildt a serious version tho, i believe this is a car that volvo should've designed and produced yeeaars ago.. But nice job tho, looks real good. I recently got myself a 740 gle lol

[@VcrThunder]

Great job. Volvo 200 and 700 series that are converted into pickup trucks are commonly referred to as an "A-traktor" and it is a normal convertion in sweden. i guess that was the inspiration to this build

[@artz5665]

Always wanted something like this too! When I saw the old trunk space which you covered with wood I thought you even gonna make a toolbox with couple off hinges and handle with lock inbeded in wood...

[@felixcat9318]

Just saw this video listed, and after seeing that you're constructing a Volvo pick up truck, and how neatly you've integrated the tailgate into the rear cab body structure, I immediately subscribed! Looking forward to catching up on the truck build and your other videos.

[@westcoastrider3008]

Really cool truck! Love the paint and work, I know cedar is good wood against rotting, but its soft wood, and will absorb moisture and trap it between the deck and the steal, and all the drill holes will promote rusting were you cant see it.

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

This is a really cool project. I have always wondered what a 240 wagon turned to pick up might look like. Now I dont need to wonder because you did it. Nice job guys. The only way it could be cooler is to drop it, wide body, put in 18" wheels with like 265 tires, turbo motor from a v70R with like 300+hp.

Calle Lindgren men han får ju iaf slänga i en bättre motor än en d24 till denna, men diesel är rätt väg att gå, kanske en mercadiesel eller en nyare fem cylindrig volvodiesel som i v70s, men d24an är lite väl kass för ett sånt här bygge

[@99unclebob]

great work guys' know the hours have been many to get to this point and drive it finally, the cedar bed gives it that period look, and the headlights are far better looking and safer than the old 4 headlight set up on the last generation, I have been driving 240's for almost 40 yrs, 78 242GT, 82 GLT,86 240 DL and now 89 240DL 4DR, my 78 was the best, the 89 is by far the best most trouble free, that year Volvo went back to completely 100% Bosch electrical and electronics, you can realistically daily drive this for at last 10 yrs everything you need is still readily available. if you want to do a 5.0 litre swap, there were plans on the net a few yrs ago to do a Mustang 5.0 swap and some engineer had done the plans up and was selling them, so the engine and 5 speed std from a fox body drops in and just get a custom 1 piece driveshaft and away you go, there's a guy on youtube that did a 245 wagon 5.0 litre swap
