Homemade Trucks
When people need small loads moved they call on homemade trucks to do the job cheaply. These trucks are made in Vietnam.
Do you have any homemade vehicles where you live?

Peace and happiness from Vietnam! #whalepower @wthomas @randowhale
Haha. Pretty cool. We have something similar in India. This style of construction, whether it is a vehicle or something else that is worked together using scraps and a little mental grease is called Jugaad. Love it :)
Thanks, I look forward to visiting India someday!
Cool post.
Thanks, hope you come and visit Vietnam!
The craziest vehicles are the food ones with burning coal grills on them. I've seen them driving down the street with the coals burning. But those are usually a modified motorbike instead of a kind of truck. There's no shortage of ingenuity in Vietnam.
Here's a custom truck from Europe.
I spotted this one in Budapest, Hungary. It belonged to a park and it was used to carry gardening equipment and things like that.
Nice, ya, I've seen a lot of stories about woodgas trucks from the 1930's to present day.
