Replying to: davethecarnut (Apr 14, 2008 1:58 pm) There never was a direct Mopar competitor to the El Camino/Ranchero type, car-based vehicle, at least not in the United States. That Dodge SweptSide of '57-59 vintage was a response to the Chevy Cameo Carrier. When the Ford Ranchero came out for 1957, essentially based on the 2-door station wagon style, it was an all-new concept. Chevy would follow suit with the El Camino in 1959, although it would prove short-lived, only making it through 1960. FWIW I think the big Ranchero only ran from 1957-59. I think it moved to the compact Falcon platform for 1960. The El Camino was put on ice for a few years, until being revived on the midsized 1964 Chevelle platform. Now Chrysler of Australia offered a model called the Ute, which was based on the Dodge Dart. Here's a pic of a 1968. That "Ute" style was and still is popular in Australia, so over there it probably pre-dates the '57 Ranchero. GM's Holden division still builds one, and I think Ford of Australia still does, as well.
