Thread: Brookville Roadster

Tweet

I picked up my 32 Roadster body from Brookville 3 weeks ago. Just want to say they have an outstanding product and they are GREAT people to work with. There is something to be said about dealing with the owners of a company. My experience over the years has been that once companies get too big, you end up having to deal with employees that many times don't have the best working knowledge of what they are selling, don't have the authority to make decisions, etc. Brookville is first class in my book!

I hate you. Actually I ENVY you. I agree about Brookville. I talk to them every time I see them at Daytona each November, and they are first rate and build a beautiful product. I am going to buy their '29 roadster pickup body somewhere down the line when I redo my '27 that is sitting on an A frame.

Good luck with the build, that body will give you a great start.

Congrats on the Brookville!!! With all the complaints about various companies and their product/service it is really good to hear about quality people building a quality product and selling it at a fair price!!!! The best thing about a product this good, it should encourage other manufacturers to up their quality and make building a hot rod better for all of us....

Outlaw is the same way. Whenever I have called, I have spoken to Barb, who with her husband John, own the company. The Davisons are great people to deal with.

I tried to respond to your PM but I could not get it to go through. To answer your question, my wheels are polished 15 inch Torque-Thrust II's while the tires are BFG Radial T/A P285/70R15's in the rear and BFG P195/60R15's in front.

Could you give me the dimensions (length, width, height) of your roadster body? I'd like to know if one will fit in a long bed pickup. Thanks in advance.

Length: 96"
Width: 50", This is the widest point at the bead going around the rear wheel well.
Height: 31"

Thanks for the quick reply.

A '32 Ford body will fit in a full size pickup with no problem - sitting flat on the floor of the bed, cowl to the front. Hauled a few in my time. haha!

That's good news. Thanks!
