Yeah that was a Ranchero as well. Also yes Pontiac made the Tempest.
VW had a pickup on the Rabbit body style. Pretty goofy looking in my opinion. VW pickup pics. (http://www.prod.net/volkswagen/vwpics.htm)
Theres also that Subaru Baja which looks like they took thier wagon and hacked off the rear top section.

what about the jeep scrambler...or would you consider that a truck-truck and not a car-truck :?

I would be more inclined to call it a truck-truck

Back in the early Seventies the Ford Bronco was made in a convertible version that was very cool - In the late eighties, I had a 1973 302 that was painted bright orange - with a white Hard Top. Sold it in 1989 for the same $3k I paid for it. They're still quite popular in So. California, among other places, for hauling around surfboards.
And yeah, I know - it IS a Ford, but it sure beat hell out of a Ranchero...

I pretty sure the Caddy wasn't a production car. I've never even heard of a Vega pickup. Any pics.???
What about the Corvair rampside pickup? It's like a van/pickup thing. Would that qualify as a car or truck? Corvair pickup pic. (http://www.vintagebus.com/gallery/image/2004329.JPG)

The premise of being equivelant to an El Camino or Ranchero is that the vehicle was based on a passenger car from the same company. That's not the case of some of the vehicles mentioned above.
Know what I mean, Vern?

sorry it was the 77 mirage and it was based on the fleetwood.

Not sure if the Mirage was actually produced by anyone. I do remember a friend built one from a kit back in the early 80's
