History 1929 RPU center steer drag car that raced in the the 1950s and 1960s in the SF bay area and Fremont

Anyone have any history on a orange 29 rpu that was ran in the 50s and 60s at fremont dragstrip? It was center steer, had a t grill, suicide front end, and had an 8 port injected small block chevy. Any leads would be extremely appreciated.

 

I'm a little confused. Are you posting pics of that car or piecing together a tribute replica of that car? Many of those parts look too pristine to have survived the 50s.

 

Sweet truck !

 

Didn't GOODIES speed shop have a pickup like that? Like a J&J muffler deal? Maybe yellow?

 

Yes I'm building it with my son I was just seeing if anyone remembered it from back in the day and had some info or something on it. I bought just the body from the original owner who had his pictures of it stolen.

 

Is his (original owner) name a secret? What cl***? Wins? Wrecks? Anything memorable the original owner shared? Maybe with more info from you more info will come from us.

 

I really don't know the any info about the cl*** or anything and I can't remember the guys name I'll look into a little bit to see if I can get anymore info.

 

Neat! Is that a hole for the drag link through the door???

 

Sorry wrong truck lol

 

Ya it was center steer, we changed it to a normal style box to make it more streetable.

 

The yellow J & J car from 63 64 was a Bantam body B/R altered.
