I am selling my homebuilt hot rod RPU that I have been driving for the last 4 years. It is very reliable, starts on the first turn and never overheats. The engine was completely rebuilt 4 years ago.
BODY.....The cowl is from a Dodge and the rest of the panels are various model A. The bed is model T. The grille is 1936 DeSoto Airflow.
CHASSIS.....The frame started as model A. A new front crossmember with suicide spring mount was added. Front end is 40 Ford with split bones and spring moved behind axle. The rear third of the frame is scratch built fom 3x2 tubing. Rear end is 8" Ford mounted with Jag coil overs and beefy radius rods made from split front wishbone from a truck.
ENGINE/TRANS.....1953 8BA Flathead V8. H&H mild cam, adjustable lifters,Offenhauser dual carb intake with Holley 94's. otherwise stock. Tranny is a Ford 3 speed. Many magazine appearances including cover of Rolls & Pleats.
PM me for my ph # or more info.
