would you make this trade

No compression 56 Chevy's are like all the others . Your roadster has character and a personality the 56 is frickin Boaring to me ..Think before you jump ship on Hot Rod .

 

I would just repaint the 56.

 

I'm 6 ft and not much problem. Just have to duck abit to see the red light at a stop. But i just use the hood reflection most of the time ,then double check .

 

If I wear sneakers and shorts,I can stand my T for maybe a 45 minute ride...but I would still trade for the Pickup in a New York minute...

 

keep the 56' and built a roadster pickup on a budget! HELL NO ON THE TRADE!

 

Not a chance, I wouldnt own a car without a roof.

 

If the RPU was all original steel (with a flatty) I'd consider it. Based on how straight it is, I'm leary that's an original. The 56 looks done and fun. I'd have a hard time trading that 56 for a repopped car.

And, that's big for me, I own 3 roadsters and a coupe.

 

i personally like the 56 better. i LOVE old fords and im typically not a big tri five fan, but theres to much that needs to be changed on the 28 imho. you have a cool ride already, keep drivin the wheels off it

 

Depends on how much you like being exposed to the elements whether cold/heat/rain/snow/hail..I would not mind a open roadster for a second hotrod for fair weather cruising.

 

If the attachments were links to the add, I suspect it has been sold or the trade was made.

I'd have kept the 56.

 

"56

 

I would have to check out the ride on a long trip,say at least 50 miles.Tough choice,i like them both.

 

ill trade you my rpu in a heartbeat! Im 6'2 and cant even get in the damn thing.

The RPU is cool, but I would keep the '56. Just my opinion though.

 

thanks again ,,, im going to keep the 56 ,,, i like the rpu but im going to p*** ,,
thank you guys for all the replys ,,, it helped me on my decision

 

56 is made of unobtainium now. you can get a gl*** RPU anytime. I love the RPU, but being a bigger guy I am more inclined to want to drive a post 40's sedan More room and comfort. I drive my cars a lot so being able to sit bak and enjoy the ride is more important than other aspects now.

FWIW at 6'1"and size 13 shoes, i drove a model A once. It was a cool car.. I hated driving it (even though it was an auto) my feet didn't fit the pedals and a surpluss of pie made the driving possition a little snug. By that token I have driven a Lotus Seven (looks like a cigar with wheels) set up for a tall guy and I fit fine..

 

Nope...totally different ride..
What you have is a real cl***ic....keep it...
And...you did ask !!
Cheers...

 

I like the 56 and agree with 19fordy but its just a matter of personal preference and how much you'll be drivin....

 

I wouldn't trade for an RPU. Much easier to sell a Tri-5
