EVERY once in a while, “Pinstripe Chris” Dunlop shares his wild ideas with us to get our creative juices flowing and give us some “what if” scenarios that we’d love to see recreated in metal. His latest is his version of what a traditional late ’20s to early ’30s roadster pickup would look like if you used a completely fabricated cab and bed, and we love it! Here’s the scoop from Chris:
“Sure, you could start a hot rod pickup build from a more traditional ’27-’34 Ford (Model A or B) either found in good enough shape or start from something like a Brookville body to get going, but why not build from scratch with the influence in mind? Chances are you might want to chop/channel/section the body anyway, so building from raw materials could be the way to go. In the example here, those ideas are addressed and finessed with personal taste in mind without the confines of ‘What did you start with?’ Instead, it’s a hot rod with ideas inspired by tradition. Yes, it would be a heap of fabrication, but it leaves the details up to the designer/builder to create something unique.”
