Hot Rods A-Bone closed cabs?

There's something unique about the 'phonebooth' closed cab a Pickups, where are they all? Used to see them in mags now and then, haven't seen any in quite a while. Here, i constantly see roadsters. Where I live it rains 4-5 months of the year, and the rest it's really too cold for a roadster. I'd like to build one to drive year-round. Are closed cab pickups rare? Or undesirable?

D

 

Im building one.

 

They are cool trucks but they are to small for me... I have a 33 chopped 4 inches and it still is hard to get in and out of......

 

i'm building one too

It was a closed cab. Not much left when i got it so i'm taking it a little different route.

 

This one was mine.

 

I love them ,but they are too small .

 

I have always liked the looks of these. I am building a roadster pick up right now but I would have been equaly happy to find a closed cab.

 

This work for ya!

 

OOPS! Sorry! heres the A. I always thought of the phonebooth as a T

 

My 29 C/C in bigger then my roadster was, and it fits me just right. I always wanted a roadster (40yrs) and when I built mine I found out it was great but a pain in the neck. Rain, wind, wife didn't like it cause here hair was a mess after a ride. So my Pk Up is perfect, and out side of new wood its an all Henry Cab. Just added power windows, though. Iceman

 

I love em! I have seen, unfortunately, many turned into RPU's.

 

So wrong picture, LOL. We will try this again. Iceman

 

Been collecting parts for mine, well actually LilT's since he has claimed it. Found a set of front fenders this weekend.

 

Here's a link to a thread that I started on them:

There are some really good looking ones out there.

 

"I love them ,but they are too small"

...then you need to get one of the very rare super cabs that have been extend 6-1/2"!

 

Where in no. cali are you getting all the rain? LOL it's raining right now.

 

i'm collecting parts for a PU that i'm building..it used to be a tudor that got cut in half..its chopped 5 inches and the rear sction is real hack job and need s to be done over...i recently realized that i wont be able to put a manual trans in there...i hopped into this dudes 31' PU and its a really tight fit...so, i found a turbo 350 at a metal recycling yard for $20 last week....

 

Here's mine:

289 Ford/AOD combination, Dago dropped axle, 57 Pontiac rear axle

 

I am building one too, a 29.

 

That is one fine looking truck!

 

This is one of my favorites. Does anybody know the owner?

 

This is mine, the day I found it. Hopefully will have it done in the next few weeks. Well, done enough for me
