SEMA 2009: Knee-high tri-axle pickup by Air-Zenith is down and (not so) dirty

We're not exactly sure what this used to be in its former life, but it all kinds of cool in its current iteration. Just knee-high to a Hobbit, this six-wheel convertible was parked in the shadow of Bigfoot and we almost tripped over it.
We were able to locate an Air-Zenith banner on the windshield, however, we couldn't find any other info. But really, what else do you need to know? Air-Zenith is the same group that dropped the drag pickup we saw at SEMA 2008. That one might have been quicker, but this one has a cool bike in the bed!

Looks like it was a first generation Dodge D50...

I'd say D50 or the Mitsubishi truck of that vintage. (MightyMax?)

You're right Mighty Max. I think they where also sold as a Plymouth Arrow.

Yup, judging by the leading edge of the front fender, and the character line that runs the of the fender and into the top of the door, I would have also said it was the first generation Dodge D50. Given the right hand drive, if it isn't a conversion this is the home-market Mitsubishi version.

Yea! The mini-truck is back!
Spring break, here we come. I've got the new 2-Live Crew CD hanging from the rear view mirror, ready to party on the Boulevard.

Looks like a super old school Mitsubishi mini pickup, with V8 hidden in there maybe?
