Did Ford build rpu's?

[Dragrace66]

Did Ford build roadster pick up's in 30 - 31?
I only saw closed cabs that ben converted to a roadster pu.

[Lowlife]

Yup.My favorite,saw it several years ago at Lincoln Americruise.I think he's a bud of DRD57s.

Brookville repros them too......
They even make a extended one......non original....with more room .....

About $3500 US for the original reproduction body. They make most everything else you would need too.

Deuce, that would be a '28-29 that you have pictured

My bad......

I was looking at the Brookville on line catalog......and clicked on the incorrect photo http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I like the 29's better........than the 30-31's. I like the cowl part better.

For me the best would be a 32 RPU.......yeah right.....Now we are talking real rare.

when I went out for rogues Ranchrun last month he showed me a '34 rpu that he is working on, even rarer

[kustombuilder]

no shit? a 34 RPU!! i'd like to see that.

[29EHV8]

Heres a kill 30 RPU.....Shiny

[mr.midnite]

did the guy paint those whitewalls on with a brush?

[34 GAZ]

OK Aussie rodders, show these guys what a GENNIE 32 and 34 RPU looks like.

[Dragrace66]

Thanks, I just wonder why I saw only converted closed cabs.

[roadstar]

How about an original 32 RPU, I'm sure they had to make a bunch of them http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice--the chopped windshield is the perfect finishing touch. But please tell me that isn't a house window screen taped to the radiator! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

BTW, here's a photo of an original '32 RPU that's been posted here a couple of times. Must be in my neck of the woods, 'cause I've seen it in person at a couple of shows:

Side detail:

'33-'34 RPUs are very similar and equally rare. I don't think Ford made RPUs for the U.S. market after '34.

Funky windshield setup:

That black 32 is in the new Hop Up.

There's a restored 34 in my neck of the woods, and parts for another 32 in my attic.

But that black one is THE BEST.

There a local guy on the eastside of Detroit that has an all original '32 RPU. Maybe I can sweet-talk a certain someone into taking me over there and introducing me to the guy and then I can snap some photos. I'll share them here if I do.

They look just like the '32 RPU I posted, only they have the longer wheelbase and the laid black &amp; different grille that the '34 closed cab trucks do.

I think they made like five of them in '34, then rolled them all off a cliff the next day. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

zonkola, that's Jim Stroupe's truck. He lives in the Bay area.

Yep, that's local. Parking my hacked up closed cab '32 RPU next to his (once mine is finished, say in the year 2012) would make for an interesting photo...

Need a 32-24 RPU body? Go buy a 32-34 Ford roadster bodied fire engine and "borrow" the body.
