Default Re: 1928 Model A pickup converted to electric

Why was this truck "headed to the scrap pile"?

The body looks pretty good... usable? They used it.

What? It needed an engine? That can be done without scrapping the truck. Put a Burtz Block in it.

The frame looks good. They used it on the EV, I think. They used the front and rear axles, brakes, wheels, tires. Good enough for the EV, so good enough for a gas engine driver.

So why was it going to the scrap pile?
