History After all these years it finally runs

Brenda's brother got this roadster pickup umpteen years ago but was finally able to drive it around the block, now all I have to do is convince him he would enjoy it much more if he hopped it up. HRP

 

Good for him!

 

I didn't realive just how small the roadster pickup's are, I can't get in it with the top up. HRP

 

Congrats to him - will save congrats to you when you can get in - Ha!

 

I'm 6'4" tall and unless he removes the top there ain't no way! HRP

 

Great truck! I sure hope he just does a few simple mods and not the sbc route!

 

I have a 27 RP and have the same issues. I learned to get in on the passenger side and slide across, seems to work better.

you not being able to get in must have brought a cheer from brendajust get him an industrial sized box of rubber bands it will fly

 

Problem is she would love to own it and I don't doubt one bit she will drive it soon. HRP

 

I thought that would take the pressure off oh well better start looking at the new garage plans

 

I used to have a 28 rpu and I couldn't get in it because of the big steering wheel and the big seat, it was not because of my stomach.....

 

Oh the things I could do with that!

 

Thought I was gonna open this thread to a video of firing the 50 ford up, however I was thinking it didnt look like it had been that long since it ran

 

That was what I wanted to post on the other thread but the camera died, hopefully I can post a short video of it running in the not to distant future. HRP

 

Danny, that is what the bed is for.....

 

Cool little ride, All I can say is that if it took him 15 years to get that far he probably had best leave it stock and just drive it until his sister beats him out of it. From being just about that same length of time without a running fun car a running car is a running car is a running car, drive the wheels off it and have fun with it but don't tear it down until it breaks.

 

Have him bring it up my way. I just got back from the VA getting my knee shot up. I can get in it now.

 

I love my brothers truck, we need another roadster.

 

So Danny wasn't listening and bought the coupe? 50 lashes with a wet noodle for him!

 

Can you just leave him alone ?

 

Nice RPU, They all looked like that back in the 1960's good solid project. Bob

 

Henry has so many irons in the fire he rarely has time to work on the pickup, he owns a heating & air business and he works along side his employees doing installations, he and his wife are both into horses & camping and to top it off he sold his house yesterday and will be building a new one.

He will be loosing his garage when he has to be out of the house and I may end up storing the truck for him. HRP

 

Hmm, while its in storage some hop up parts could magically get installed.

 

Yeah, you could ''tighten the bolts'' for him. Maybe tune it up a bit haha.
