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.



Sent from the shitter

 

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 pass ,,
thank you guys for all the replys ,,, it helped me on my decision

 

56 is made of unobtainium now. you can get a glass 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 classic....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
