Modertech Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I’m told it’s a 1928 Hudson pickup not sure if you guys can help me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Well, it WAS a Hudson sedan. Probably a year or two earlier than 1928. Likely cut down into a pickup during the depression or war years. Cars were often cut down for trucks because one couldn't afford to buy a good truck, and needed one, or during WW2 gas rationing favored trucks slightly. Some people like to restore such trucks back into the work horses they became later in their usefulness. Whether that is what you are interested in only you can answer. It is a bit rough, but would make a wonderful old truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 A great project for someone, nice lines, make a great "survivor depression era home-made truck". Careful rust removal (so as not to warp sheet metal) should lead to excellent sheet metal for a patina style finish. Guaranteed to be the only one around your area! I would not hesitate to tackle this one if starting price was close to $1000 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 think it's a 26? Some made cars into pickups during WW2 because you could get more gas rations for trucks , so the story goes I'm told. My grandfather was a carpenter and he converted several sedans , mostly Model A Ford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Te myth that will never die. Ration stickers were issued to people not vehicles. They were based upon your importance to the war effort. Truck drivers got more than Joe Lunchbox and his wife. Ownership of a truck did not make you a truck driver Edited June 7, 2021 by CarlLaFong (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The double bead moulding on the fenders says it is not later than 1926. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
