    I am looking at a 1932 ford rpu cowl and I am wondering if it is the same as a regular 1932 roadster cowl?

    No, not even close. It will use the same firewall, nothing more.

  4. The correct '32 RDPU cowl looks more commercial, almost like a Jeep. One of the current reproduction '32 RDPU's (maybe Brookvillle?) uses the cowl from a roadster which looks much better (in my opinion).

    This is a roadster cowl or driveaway orchid and notice how it’s thinner and dash is different as well. This one is a 1933 1934 but was converted it to a 32 with a removable firewall and its for sale. 54061DB9-091D-42A0-BC53-7117176D3A8B.jpeg A8D9F574-3415-41C2-88AA-459E28B63941.jpeg
