Some Pictures of My 28 RPU

Here are a couple pictures of my RPU . I want to leave basicly stock looking except for 16 inch wheels . Would like to warm the mototr some though.. My Grandfather bought it new..

 

Nice! I hope you're keeping it that way though, beautiful!

 

thats a clean lookin buggy...i wouldnt make any changes youll regret later....

 

Thats sweet. Wish it was mine. It would be tuff to mess with that one.

 

I think the 16" wheels would be a great addition and I can't imagine your grandfather objecting. You might want to lower the suspension with the smaller diameter wheel/tire combination to keep the overall profile in proportion.

That is a nice vehicle. What makes it even better is that it has been in the same family since new.

 

16" wheels and a 4" drop axle would make that truck look perfect, just enough to keep it stock, but rodded at the same time.

 

Wonderful!

 

Thats the way I like them to look when I start on them, very nice. Get that thing lowered. Warm up that banger and drive!!!

 

cool as the other side of the pillow

 

Did you love and respect your Grand Father and what he obviously held precious?

I wouldn't do anything that isn't a bolt-on reversible upgrade.
And keep ALL the old parts to put back on when you realize everything there is what it is for a reason.
That's Tradition.

 

I wouldnt change one thing , Take it to a car show once a year and put a rope around it . Give it to your kid some day . build a hot rod rpu from somthing you can drag out of the woods

 

Man, I wouldn't change a thing on that truck except the oil and the plugs once in a while. Beeautifulll! Very nice color and looks factory new in the photos.

 

Yeah, if it ain't broke don't fix it. It's great the way it is. Whatver you change, make sure you can put it back so that someday someone else can admire it as much as you do.

 

Wow is that nice. I concur, 16" wheels and a drop axle and you're all set.

 

Some things are not to be messed with. That P/U is one such thing. Like has been said, only bolt on stuff and keep the stuff you take off. Talk about a history!?

 

Very nice....leave it alone!

 

What a clean, beautiful truck! Oops, drool on the keyboard again.

 

Way too cool - keep it in the family.

 

The 16 inch wires painted red, and maybe a reverse eye front spring and your ready to go. Very Nice !

 

very nice,i would leave it alone

 

I concur with the most of you I really dont want to do much. But I would like to put 16 inch wheels on it. My father and I restored the truck 31 years ago the paint looks good but its a 20 ft paint job ( starting to flake and peel ) an old laquer paint job. It runs very well my grandkids love to ride in it,,Thanks for your compliments. ..Tim
