How much of the model A pickup can be bought in steel new?

I'm talking roadsters here. I wanna build a little 4 cyl powered "death rod"(tm) out of some more spare parts I have picked up. Kinda the same format as my old T. No pretty stuff just bare bones.

Just wondering if I find a cowl can most of the rest be bought repop? Never built a roadster pickup. I know there was tons f stuff for the tudor sedans out there.

 

brookville makes a complete RPU

 

I was looking at Snyders and they show a complete body minus cowl for around $3-4K no bed included.

 

not sure if this link will work,....

No cowl,no bed,no roof. What do you get for $3K+ ? A couple doors and a back panel?

 

Very nice bodies...way out of my price range.

Iwas wondering if I found a cowl etc. what could it be adapted over to. I saw a 28 Ford cowl on eaby but they are mainly used on tudors and coupes. I BE PO.

 

Root, Brookville makes both the 28-9 and the 30-1 RPUs. The latter which can be had stretched or not. Priced at $3500

 

there is a bloke doing them down here now I think, but the dollar is probably to high to make it worth while at the moment....still at 4k USD not incl the cowl... I think he is like usd 500 for the bed and something similar for the back of the body.

 

Unkl, that'll buy a complete roadster body....floorboards and all. ON the p/u it 's less.

 

Root...I dont know if you saw my post about the parts I found, but there is a whole bunch o cowls and doors in westville OK....almost to the AR border. Might be worth looking at if thats what your searching for.

 

Nah I didn't see that. Gotta link?

 

link Maybe?

 

why not buy the one i put in the classifieds a while back..??......we can discuss the price

 

You can get the beds at Mac Hils Reproductions. Brookville is expensive a guy here made the doors and body, one inch square tubing and sheetmetal, looked great---all you need is a cowl

 

Check out the pickup that Smokey did.Pics are on his site.

 

The Brookville bodies do come with a cowl. Just not the gas tank.

 

Root, I am a dealer for Brookville. You can buy just the bare pieces to build what you want. Be a few hundred bucks.Cowl top, sides, doors. The rest can be fabbed for a one off pretty easy. I got my catalog at work, email me at aarestor@aol.com

 

Cool T, I will .....

 

"Very nice bodies...way out of my price range."

Why don't ya wait until someone starts making them in China.
Then we can start a new thread and whine about quality...

Actually, Brookville Model A stuff is not that great.
If you can get your hands on stuff Henry made, opt for that.
