Still some gems around

I just got a new project for myself(like I needed it)...28-29 RPU Runs and drives still has mechanical brakes and uses the cowl tank...couldn't pass it up... some fancy horse trading and it's mine....Plans are to run a v8 flatty/t-5 combo, quick change rear, I am gonna drop an axle for the front, buick drums then run it for a while.... big plans involve doing all the sheet metal work and putting the fenders etc.. back on....You just gotta love a truck with no roof.... Jason.

 

I gotta come see this!!!!!!!!

see ya in a few..........

 

nice score! nobody NEEDS more projects...but we are all addicted, so might as well enjoy the ride.

 

Nothing better than a truck with no roof. Here's a little inspiration. Good Luck with it

 

I've really started to like the '28-29 RPUs, might be my favorite early Ford bodystyle. Congrats on the score!

 

RUPs have always been bad a$$ to me for some reason. Might be because one was the first car I ever bought that didn't run. Sold it fairly quick after I bought it. I was only 16. Wish I still were.LOL

 

Awesome. i think thats what i want to build next. cool roadster and still out some $hit in the back. sweet score. i have to start harrasing old people from back home i know they are hoarding stuff.

 

cool project,i love rpu's

 

Gonna just drive it for a while mechanical brakes and all..I want to build the RPU to a specific vision I have..Gonna collect parts and do it all at one time... I have to finish the Warthog first.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=239703 The Warthog frame is pretty much done now.. gotta build brackets for steering and brakes then mount the body....Jason.

 

I clicked onto this post, because I thought it read - still some GERMS around. Well, I am going to get my reading glasses now, and read some more on the Hamb. Hey, it does look to be a great pickup truck project. Congrats on the horse trading.

 

I am sure there are some germs around too...There was some stinky old carpet padding and rotten wood in the bed... Jason.

 

there's a guy on TV here who has an antique show,his favorite saying .( in a cockney accent);
" you see something you want to buy? ..Get it bought!!"
Nice buying ( trading)

 

Thought something looked funny then noticed the improved shell holding the bonnet high, looks likes a good starter

 

nice score , warthog update ?

 

Looks like a great start,to what will be another cool ride.

 

I will be updating the Warthog thread later this evening..... lost a little steam on it when I picked up the RPU.. getting back on it tonight... Jason.

 

nice score , congratz ..

 

yeah that rules.

 

Sick!

 

Got it running today and drove it down the block... Clutch was stuck but we got it with a little persuasion.....
