Just wondering where you draw the line between a T bucket and an rpu? Here's a picture of mine under construction, a long time getting done. Looks like a turd compared to most of these sweet rpus.
Mine. I pretty much built it right here on the HAMB. I'd like to build something new, so it's for sale at: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=595432
I know this isn't a RPU built by Ford, and may not be HAMB friendly, but I just wanted to show mine.....Jim
If you look very closely at this picture, maybe even stare at it for a moment, you'll see my loooong neglected '29 RPU... All I really need to do is blow it apart, prime it and wire. I promise at some point this year I'll make time! Oh, '53 Triumph early 60s show bike project too... And, this is my view from the louver bench everyday as I punch everybody elses toys!
Home made. Wood header with 1/2 inch pipe for the top bows (stronger than conduit). Covered by local upholsterer.
Love the pipes but yes have backed into them quite often while working/walking around shop (very sharp)
Keep the pictures coming guys. They are all cool as hell. Can't wait until I can get started on mine. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Like I told the kid, "Your musics not too loud, its just like OKC, it sucks!"
That's an interesting question and kind of like asking for the definition of a Hot Rod. If the roadster body & bed are both the factory configuration it's an easy call, it's a roadster pickup. When you start changing the proportions, such as chopping the bed length, it starts to morph into something that really isn't usable as a working truck, then it's a T bucket. That being said.. it's all good.
