Chrysler corporation introduced the Plymouth Horizon in 1978. The Scamp is based on that car line. The Scamp pickup truck was produced one year only - 1983
The Scamp shared some body and interior parts with the sports version of the Horizon - the Turismo. The doors and windshield forward are pretty much the same car/truck but the Scamp had all different sheet metal from the doors back. It also had leaf springs like a rear wheel drive car from the past. One interesting feature was the load adjusting brakes, when you loaded the Scamp down, the proportioning valve would increase pressure to the rear drum brakes. If you were running empty, the front disks did almost all the work.
Notice that the 2.2 liter engine was the only power plant offered in the Scamp
The big difference with the GT and the standard Scamp was in available options. The dual outside mirrors on this scamp and the hood scoop are part of the GT package. The all vinyl interior is also part of the option package. The GT had a little higher empty weight and resulted in a little higher Gross Vehicle Weight than the standard Scamp.
The little truck is rated at a half a ton and was the only front wheel drive vehicle that had leaf springs in the rear.
While the Scamp was not a big hauler, it is big fun!
The little truck handles like a sports car and gets over 30 miles to the gallon in the process.
