I brought home a new toy...scored a 28 RPU!

I had inquired about this truck about 6 months ago but lost the contact info.Finally got back in touch with him and he still had it for sale.I talked myself into buying it.Completely stock older "fixed up" car,virtually rust free.Runs and drives pretty good.

 

Wow, that's really great just the way it is!

 

whats the plans for it ?

 

Thats sweet! Have some summer fun in it...

For right now I am just going to enjoy it as it is until I finish my 34 pickup.Later on I am thinking about hopping up the banger,maybe put a 5 speed behind it,lowering it,1935 wire wheels,and chrome radiator shell and windshield..red paint...Who knows from there....I've got a 348 hiding in the corner,waiting for the right car......

 

Somehow I think that the 348 won't even be in play after you cruise around in it this summer as is. I'm betting a hopped up banger or a flathead will be more on your mind.

Cool Find!

 

Congrats and great find!

 

sharp looking truck. Looks like fun

 

cool truck - congrats

 

killer.

 

Very nice. Gary

 

sweet!

 

i want it! thats a sweetie rpu.

 

Very nice! I'd leave it like it is except for maybe some hop-ups from the day. And I'll be rude and ask what you paid for it.

 

Yea, Steve Norcal is running a hopped up 4 in his car, that idea is getting me to thinking, would be a fun car. BTW sweat RPU

 

congrats, throw a s/c on a flathead and have some fun with it.

 

Very Nice...good find

 

Some consider it rude but I think its natural to try to find out what the value on these old cars is.Considering he delivered it to me from a long way off,I would say I have about 7500 in it.
Yeah,I was thinking maybe this winter I might put a couple of downdraft carbs on it and research some more of the old hop up ideas from back in the day.

 

real nice starter

 

Read the monthly banger meets. Lots of good info in there.

Great looking truck - Congratulations.

 

Nice pick-up. Welcome to the banger world. Check out the monthly banger meet.

 

glad you talked yourself into buyin it.

 

Looks great! I would drive it and do a few minor thing during the winter.

 

I will have to check out the banger meet.Hmm,all this time I was thinking it was for something else........

 

wow, that looks awesome!

 

Great ideas! Especially the hopped-up banger. Love those 348s, but somehow that doesn't seem like the right car for it.

Enjoy that great looking RPU

 

Lucky!

 

Nice RPU, it seems to be the best way to find good build material in the deep south is to get a car that has been rstored in years past. The way the heat a humidity rots the tin in these parts there's not much original old vintage tin left, unlike the northwest and southwest. Great find, I like the hopped-up banger idea as well!

 

Beautiful just the way it is!
