That’s a good buy if not rusty

That’s a deal. Need to find interior handles and cranks. I love the aftermarket spare tier holder.

There are small drums on the back that have external contracting break shoes for the emergency brake.

Body not made by Hudson. body is Briggs.

As far as Truck prices go , with out a close look that’s a fair asking price. if that truck was at the Portland swap meet this weekend it would have had 10k added to it. I saw a lot of ridiculously priced trucks. A lot of them.

Are those rear bumpers for real ? Or did someone mess up assembly ?

That’s a visor mount bracket. my 29 Hudson is similar

Seems like it .. poof

Love seeing this come together. great work 👍

No front brakes on 26 and earlier. So no brackets on the frame for rods and such

Briggs, Biddle & Smart and Murphy put body’s on Hudson’s in these years. Hudson bodies are easily identified by the Piano hinged doors.

This a seldom seen Briggs bodied 29 sedan. All wood framed. Hudson bodies were all steal. note the rosé pattern instead of the pine cone.

It will for ever amaze me how in so few words one can explain so very well what a total idiot they are.

I’ve never seen a visor like that on 29 before. Motor , steering gear and wheel, side mount bracket front fender all 29. Body is likely biddle and smart. But that being said doors don’t look aluminum ?? But after a close look at the last pics added by E-16-YH I know have see a hudson that I’ve never seen before. A Briggs body 4 door. Who knew.

YIKES!!! On so many levels

Is it 6” across or .75” ?

To be creative you could build a y intake and use two Carter sided drafts off a corvair. Even better find two Essex 4 carbs. Now about getting to it run good with a set up like that is a hole other story. if you look at the 29/28 head there is a lump in the casting either side of the center port for the single intake. I believe these two lumps are in the intake passage ways. If you look at a first series 27 head you’ll see that it has a duel intake setup right where the two lumps are on the 28/29 heads. But I’ve never come across a head that was junk to find out. One day I will. To have three side draft carbs on a 29 that actually worked and ran well would be an accomplishment that would look amazing.

Go for a Hudson of the same era. Alls folks will see as you pass them is your big smile.

Water pump is not Hudson.

I’m pretty sure it’s not Marvel. numbers don’t match any Marvel number

“Wow” is all I can mumble at this moment!!

That’s a dream auction in my world. this is my choice - train horns !!!

That chain drive sprocket looks new

It would certainly appear so. I am by no means any authority of Miller. Just a big fan and recognize your carb immediately once seeing it. pic from “ The Golden Age of the America Racing Car “

Your correct. The key to this dilemma of miss identification would seam to be new glasses.
