Lots of really nice features on the RPU - '40 dash, cowl steering, flush tonneau cover, guide lights and more. Just curious, Don, did the guy who you took the '36 to have the RPU and want something different, or did you manage to find the RPU in the area you were delivering the '36? Not a big deal, just wondering....Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I have always loved the way people have adapted the '40 dash panel into different models of cars and boy oh boy, it certainly looks excellent fitted into this '32.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Guy with the RPU wanted the 36 REAL BAD, so off I went to the land of OZ
BTW Roger, the RPU is a total 1 off build. 111" chassis, cowl stretched 4" cab stretched 2" , hand built bed,leather interior, heater and side curtains. 355/700r4, goin to a Halibrand quickie on 1/4 elliptic springs. It's a work of art, as nice under as it is on top 1 of the top 100 picks in the us by Street Rodder Magazine to boot.When I get to where I was goin, I forgot why I went there>

Both Don and Uncle Bob always seem to migrate back to the Deuce in one form or another. Even Roger has drug one home. Maybe the members here could make up a "top ten list" of Deuces that have made the Forum pages. A "Top 10 street rod" list would be great also. The 60's era five window Don just recently sold would have to be one of my favorites. Paint isn't everything.

Don's smart, the way he does it he makes LOTS of money. (I've heard he rolls around his living room rug naked in piles of hundred dollar bills, giggling like crazy, after each deal............haven't seen it, and don't have pics...........don't want to either...........just a rumor) Me, I'm stupid about it, but I do provide a better than living income for people with junk to get rid of.................Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
