CAS, you musta read my mind.. Way more funky and slightly easier to build. It would wear the bird s#!+ better than a sportsman. There was a guy that went by \willowbilly' on FTE. He built a VERY nice RPU from many parts. Drove the wheels off of it. He was about my age 67 but he passed away from cancer about 2 years ago. It wasn't a rat rod, no navajo blankets on the seats (yawn) or hand grenade shifter, no skulls, no crossbones and no barbed wire. Just a fun open truck made from what he had on his N Dakota farm. He was an inspiration. Not saying I'm not thinking of a sportsman as well, but whatever it ends up it should be interesting. I didn't get any more stripping done on the chassis today. Too hot out.
