Features Roadster Pickup........picture thread

This is the only one I`ve ever seen in Sweden.

 

Anybody have any info or other pics of this one?

 

'32, kanske - men der var en röd '29 til salu på blocket for 1-3 år sedan.
Er den her ikke Norsk registreret?

 

I took this picture at Timonium back about 1973:

 

I just recently got my RPU on the road.
Love driving it.

 

what suspension do you have in front? any detail pictures?

 

I built the wishbones myself and the front axle is a forged So Cal axle I drilled.

The front spring is a Posies spring mounted in a flat crossmember and the shackles are mounted through the wishbones 3 1/2” back from the axle mounts.

I used Superbell suicide steering arms that I beefed up so that my steering tie rod can run behind the rad.

Lot’s of pictures and details in my build thread,
I was really happy to find that it drives really nice, rides good and no bump steer or wobbles at any speed.
Handles great.

Edit
I managed to find a few recent pictures I took of it.

Hiding in the lair while I mow the yard waiting for me to install the helical gears.

 

Such a beautiful sunny day here the gear change can wait, I’m out driving

 

Okey - jag är dansk, så jag vet det mindre!

Here's one I've been working on a few years. Home built frame extended 7" for spring behind the rear axle, '42 Mercury powerplant backed by a T-5. Runs and drives but still a work in progress. Aren't they all!

 

Game over....

Great looking hot rod, both style and colors. But, the placement of that gas tank makes me nervous in the service.

 

bowtie, why? quite a few trucks have their gas tanks in the bed. what difference does it make if a car has it in the trunk?

 

Mine, with tank in back. JW
