Thia is one of my favorites. Made from a '35 closed cab; Steve's Restorations cowl and lots of used parts.
I'm a sucker for rpu's. I'll throw mine into the mix now that it is starting to look like a car finally Dan
I think you should put the steelies back on and sell the Halibrands to me for my RPU ~ I'll double your money, maybe even triple !!
This Roadster Pick-up was at the End of Season Show at Twinwood in the UK last week-end. It rained....a lot
Well as far as i know, the fender at the rear curve is alot rounder than the squareish fender of the later 28-29. These AR or 'after remodel' is built in 27. I'm not a guru of this and maybe someone else is more clued in than i am. My rpu also has the left hand e brake, which is functioal on mine. The top bows are fixed and does not fold down. You have to take it off as a unit and leave it at home if you want to go topless. I'm not sure if that is a AR feature or not but i've never seen another even on concours restorations. Original steering wheel would have been red also. It originaly had a single drum tailite under the lt rear box i believe. There may be more features i'm not aware of. As far as i know there was approx 225 Ar's built but don't quote me on that. Oh i got it for free back in 75. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtOUWG5rjW0
Here's some local variety. Last one is a rare real steel roadster utility with centrifugal supercharged S/V. Blue RPU is a 28 Chev.
Well, since this thread has resurfaced, here is a pic of my early 28 (AR) RPU.Got it well over a year ago and haven't done anything to it but drive it around a farm so far. But its next in line.
