acording to ford, it could be a "commercial car". a seperate cab and bed to hold cargo.

 

I know it means pick up but what I dont understand is sometimes like roadsters will be called P/U's and thats what I dont understand... but thanks for the info so far

 

you mean an RPU?



i guess i don't understand.

 

hmmm lets see,a pick up..........how about,"damn baby,you must be tired,you been runnin through my mind all day".....can you work with that?...what's a pick up......

 

Some roadsters are roadster pick-ups, some are just 'regular' roadsters with trunks or rumble seats.

 

Here's a pick of the Happy Days roadster pickup.

 

Ohhh ok I got it...just curious because I didnt think that ford made roadster pickups and Im a little slow so that added to the problem...Thanks all!!

My '69 El Camino was ***led as a car. Ford had a unibody pickup in the 60's which had solid sheetmetal from head to tail lights.

 

Ya Mutt and it was a 1/2 ton PU. Not a Ranchero, it was an F100

PU? That's what my wife says after I pull the blankets up over her head right after the pfffttt sound and right before she slugs me.

In Australia,an el Camino would be considered a "coupe utility" or "ute"

My '82 Rampage was designated a truck and required the more expensive "commercial" license plates... When I traded it in on an '83, they'd changed the law and it was now considered a p***enger car! El-Caminos and Rancheros were included in the name change as were mini vans..Go figure...

 

"now can you tell me...whats a hotrod?" Geez

 

most definitely a ute,
