Need a pickup truck for hauling, but can’t bear to add another F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500 or Sierra to the parking lot? Does the idea of a fuel-efficient truck with front-wheel drive appeal to you? Then this 1978 Citroen HY, converted from van to pickup and for sale on Hemmings.com, may be just what you’ve been looking for. The seller is sparse on details, so it isn’t clear if this example packs the 45-horsepower HY72 four-cylinder or the 58-horsepower HY78 four-cylinder beneath its hood, but either engine sends power only to the front wheels. That helps to give the HY a low and flat bed, but at the obvious expense of towing capacity. Another selling point is the HY’s ease of maintenance; just four (large) bolts hold the entire engine, transmission and front suspension in place, which certainly saves time when major engine or transmission work is needed. From the seller’s description:
