Is this an early 1926 Roadster PU or Runabout
Looking to learn if this body is actually a early 26 Roadster PU body. It had a pickup box on it, seller wouldn’t part with the pickup box. Only sold this body, no holes in back of quarter panels for Turtle Deck.

Re: Was this body a Roadster PU
Here is a picture of the inside, visibly there are no brakets to bolt a deck to!
If more pictures of different areas are needed, I will be happy to take them and upload.

Re: Is this an early 1926 Roadster PU or Runabout
Looks so similar like my old Nov. '25 mfg. runabout pickup. Same features, 3 holes at cowl for stanchion, stepped door post at cowl, no captive nuts in the upper rear tub sides for a turtle deck, zinc sill plates, zinc escutcheons for door side curtain rods.

Re: Is this an early 1926 Roadster PU or Runabout
I have 2 1926-1927 turtle decks. One deck has the bolt holes on the forward uprights that match the tub side holes. The other deck doesn't have any holes and I wondered why the difference. Now thanks to this thread I know the difference!
Thanks,

Re: Is this an early 1926 Roadster PU or Runabout
I agree with Dan. It has the early 26 features. A picture of the inside of the door and a picture of the firewall would let me see if the early features are also on those parts.

Re: Is this an early 1926 Roadster PU or Runabout
Donnie, hope these help, let me know if you would like more. Sorry for the pictures being sideways, it's an iPhone thing I guess. I can take better pictures of the firewall tomorrow during the day..
