1946 Hudson Pick Up C/L Fargo

[Hudsy Wudsy]

Here's a link to a '46 Hudson pick up for sale on C/L, Fargo. The seller doesn't list a price, but I thought that I'd mention it anyway because of some recent interest on these forums. It looks used, but not abused to me:

Great start to a build/restoration. A person would want to cut off the frenched head light thing someone was doing. If some one buys it and needs some parts, I have a bunch. Tail gates are reproduced, just about all car parts will bolt up.

Xander, that's neat that someone is reproducing tailgates. I had no idea. Yeah, this truck looks like it has good bones, doesn't it? I think that this one is maybe a Big Boy, the long wheelbase model, but I'm not sure. I can usually tell by assessing the distance between the back of the cab and the rear fender, but the angles here make it difficult. Do you have another way of determining by sight?

I am not sure if there is another way of determining by sight. Maybe the 16 inch wheels? Not sure if the short wheel base trucks came with 15 inch wheels? I will throw up a few pictures and maybe inspire someone to buy it and build/restore the truck. All of the ones I do have been stretched 7 inches in the cab by using coupe doors. And then stretch the frame as well. New beds are fabricated here as well. Great trucks, restored or customized. That looks like a good one to start with, the two tone one I am building now came off a hog farm in Harper KS. It was in bad shape compared to this one.
