here you go

 

Heres some pics of ours. Its a 26 T

 

Probably one of the most popular vehicle on here. I'm doing one, see threads below.

 

we are doing a 59 ford sectioned 15"

 

Franks RPU. He has a pumped up Chevy 2 banger with dual Weber carbs , a five speed and a Halibrand quicky. This truck has been together for many years and has been a reliable fun hot rod for Frank.

 

NICE TRUCK!! thats the look in gonna go with,is the bed stock length?

 

Here's my project RPU, with a HiPo 289 and C-4 and Halibrand quickie. I used a shortened Brookville bed with the body shoved back about 5 inches to get a 32 inch hood for better proportions.The headers are designed to fill that gap under the body when you use an A frame instead of a '32 frame. The rear wheels are 20 inch Mopar pickup spares which use a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern that fit old Ford drums. I chased down a set of old SW Greenline gage for the dash.

 

how about this one?

 

NICE-i love the dash!

 

Curbspeed's is the coolest!

 

Tail draggin, that T rocks.

 

Here's my buddys 29 RPU... by the name of ZIBO...





heres another RPU i like......

 

The "use the search" response is always a cop out.

Out of curiosity, I did a search for "RPU" and "roadster pickup" and had to wade through a bunch of garbage.

I'm happy to see others post photos.

I, for one, need to see what NealinCA has been up to with his '32 RPU, so I'm going PM him and make sure he gives us an update.

 

Here's my '26 with a Nova 4 cyl and BW T-50 5-speed.

What do ya consider a RPU???? I have a '62 GMC cab that I cut the top off, sectioned @ 6" and narrowed 18" down the middle, pretty close to Model A dimensions inside (a little narrower actually)......long term, 60's show rod project...............

 

hey sinister that sound cool how about some picks

check out this one, its one of the nicest i've seen on this website. i think the only thing i may have done different was the color... but it is still one hell of a hotrod.

 

Very nice.

Getting it ready for the hundert car right now!

 

I'm usually not a big fan of any T's, but yours is AWESOME! It almost makes me want to go out and build one myself. Great job!
