All good things come to an end..... I have decided that its time to let the RPU go and persue finishing my other project (1934 HiBoy Roadster) The Vehicle is listed on the HAMB Classifieds Autos (Search Roadster Pickup) and you will find a very detailed description

My asking price is $27,000 but I'm Open to a Fair Offer

Here one

 

I've always liked this one

 

hey kiwi kev whats the grill on your coooool pickupi am going to throw a couple toogether next year and want to colect a few differant grills kev on the other side of the ditch

 

Nice looking collection of roadsters/trucks. There are several in the Houston /Spring area and old school type. Appreciate the post.

 

Looks great. What would you think of some short stakes and boards on the sides of the bed?



This one has the perfect top, stance, bed, hood, and over-all look. I love it! The only thing that would improve it is a paint job, IMHO. I'd paint it glossy medium-dark gray with black fenders. Keep the wheels just as they are. This is one of the best looking RPU's on here.

 

Narrator: "Early in the morning, down at the car show, we find our young hot rod hero wrestling with a deeply secret inner struggle..."


Young hot rod hero:

"MUST...

RESIST...

LIKING THIS...



DHAA! It's no use. I'm not strong enough."


Narrator: "Later that day, down at the TNHRA meeting...

Young hot rod hero: "Hi. My name is Bruce, and I'm a Tractor-Nosed-Hot-Rod-A-holic."

Large crowd of people: "Hi Bruce."

Tune in next week as we hear our hero say, "You know, I don't care that it's made fun of. There's something about red tires against a black car that really looks good."

Can he fight off the hordes? Can he resist the peer pressure? Can he stand to be called names or will it break his bones? Find out next week! Same bat-time, same bat-channel!

 

The grille on mine is a 36 De Soto Airflow. ( wish I had a dollar for every time I've answered that question)

 

I built this one 5 years ago by shortening up a 2 door sedan about 4 foot, cutting the top off, and building the top and bed from scratch. I have driven it as my "daily driver" every summer for 5 years now. The cab is 6" longer than a stock model A roadster pickup, and the bed is 18" shorter, but I am still on a 103.5" wheelbase. I am heading to the Atlantic Nationals in July---2500 mile round trip.---Brian

 

Getting a fix from my favorite thread.

 

any more pics of this guy?

 

How about this one,

 

one more,

 

This is my all time best thread.....I am inspired! Nimrod's truck rules!

 

I like this one, Yep thats how i would do it

 

My 29 all steel RPU.

 

Sandiegojoe has a very nice roadster pickup project in the classifieds.....helluva good price also.

 

Here is a Model A that I'm selling for a friend:

 

My '29 under construction:
Headlamps are unusual.Made by Marchal(France) in the mid thirties with nice Art Deco trim on top.

 

Here are some RPUs from Down Under.

The 'flake red A-model belongs to a mate in the local rod club.

Hope you like them.

Cheers.

 

Nice collection of RPU's VV. The red one with the Halibrands speaks to me.

 

Roadster pickups ruel. Fantastic collection of rides. Really need to build on for myself. Outstanding examples.

 

Stoked to have found this thread
I heart RPU's!
thanks for sharing the pics fellas,
cab

 

A few nice ones, but you've got a pretty poor understanding of the expression 'HAMB friendly'

Tony Thomas built the red one in the 80's Dean, real nice guy, big into nostalgia drags these days.

(any relation VV?)

 

X38, no relation.

Also, I didn't see the words 'HAMB friendly' at the beginning of this topic. All I saw was 'Roadster Pickup.....picture thread', so that's what I put on - pictures of roadster pickups.
Maybe you need to specify at the top of each topic what you'd like to see, so that we all know.

Cheers.

HAMB friendly.

 

NOT HAMB friendly.

This is a site for traditional hot rods and customs. Not street rods, bling billet, tribal flames, 20" wheels etc. Simple enough.

 

OK, so I usually call it a modified, but when it suits me I can call it a RPU. There's no bed but I'm not tired anyway





I just wanted to join in on a very cool thread. Sometimes you do whatever it takes
