The stories it could tell.

 

And so could @Hitchhiker if he cared to share. This ain't Instagram, we need more text

 

Hey, cool!

 

Just STOPIT!!!

Looks like you got a deal, you got a voltage regulator and everything. if you were closer I would be all about talking you out of it, it would set real purdy on my A ch***is instead of my sedan. And it has the added caveat of hauling *** in a past life instead if ***es.

So no the biggest question of the day, got plans for it?

 

Not much to tell. Just something I bought yesterday. Looks like a 20's dodge tub and ford bed.

Looks like the front half of a touring. Funny how common that was isn't it. And yes looks like a Dodge bros cowl. Also looks like something from the county fair, fun on a stick. They say you can get anything on a stick at the county fair.

 

Another interesting find. The box is cut down Model T.

 

'60s Bucket T type rods pretty much all had shortened boxes, the gl*** fad Ts just used the idea and the American mindset of some is good than more is better in this case the more being how much to shorten the box.

This little roadster pickup is the beginnings of a genie '60s build given the right builder.

 

Holy ****, I think I'm in love. Damn good thing I don't live in Portland anymore. I would already be on your doorstep with a trailer and a headful of bad ideas.

 

Make a nice planter box

 

Thats pretty cool!


or something like this.

 

I'll wait for the build thread.

 

Bought a new wheelbarrow?

 

great score. What are your plans?

 

Feb 15th you post that you found a totally cool channeled roadster, now this??
Nice going, Sherlock!!

 

Ok, thats pretty funny...

 

Congratulations,looks like a cool project. HRP

 

lots of potential - this 1952 Oakland Roadster Show winner available For Sale in Gr*** Valley, CA

 

The stuff dreams are made of.

 

I was gonna say "go stand in the corner" then I started thinking about it, Only a group of total whack-jobs would look at this rusty pile and immediately start posting pics of finished fifties hot rods!

 

Whack job? I resemble that.

 

Hell, I've been mentally doing burnouts in this thing for the last 5 hours. It's already built and running in my head. Whack job it is.

 

I really like that body & bed....old-school to be sure!....I'd love to have that set-up big-time!!! Just pretty darn cool in my opinion~~~ Ray

 

I guess I have to move to the PNW to find cool ****........ You ****!

 

A lot of cars during WWII got converted to trucks in Canada, because you could get more gas rations for a service vehicle. Like this A roadster.

Just saying, for what it's worth.

 

When I was a kid in the early fifties, just about every Model "A" coupe I remember seeing had a makeshift pickup bed installed. Most were just stuck into the trunk openings, while the ones that were "done right" were more cut up.

 

It took me till now to figure out what your new avatar was Doug. Thats like an automotive Escher painting or something! Pretty clever.

 

Thanks George.
