Classic Flip-Pac spotted on the streets

[joelesfrijoles]

Although I'm not much of a contributor to the expo site, I thought the members of your forum might appreciate this classic Flip-Pac. I happened across it on my way to get some take-out last night. Gotta love the vanity plate that completes the rig.

Why do you think FRP moved away from the barn style doors? Probably a thread onto itself somewhere...tailgates vs. barn doors.

Much more practical to access the bed with the barn doors.

Barn door style self destructs over time when used off road...

I'm pretty sure all the barn doors are from when SixPac was making the FlipPac, before FRP became the manufacturer. The latches on the rear instead of the sides indicate its an early (SixPac) flippac too.

Love the license plate! Thanks for posting the pics.
