Model A Huckster Group

[mjw]

I am going to revive the thread with my Huckster project.

I sold the roadster body so I could concentrate on the unfinished Huckster that I got with the Roadster from the estate of my friend Rich.

Rich built two of these in the 70s or 80s using parts of an old Huckster as a template/guide. One was sold to a friend or Club member and may be still out there. The other he kept as his own but did not finish it. I have all the original parts and drawings he made of the hardware.

I have put more pictures in an Album under my user name.

As you see this is a closed cab with wood frame doors with stamped metal skins and roll up windows. You may not notice right away but there are four hinges on the door not three as most have and because of the wood cowl I am assuming it is a 28/29. Right now it is sitting on the 30/31 rolling chassis from the Roadster body was on.

I will be posting more photos in my Album as I go through all the original parts and the hardware.

If anyone has any info on what this is a replica of I would appreciate it.

Looks like a great project.

I don't know what your body is a replica of but it does look like some huckster pictures I have noticed in the past of hucksters that were built in the 30's and were painted green. But it is hard to tell.

From what I have found out so far, it seems like there were a number of "huckster" type bodies made back in the Model A days. A number of companies made them after getting their chassis from Ford. The huckster body I have, is suppose to be a replica of one made by York-Hoover company. I have found pictures that look like the body I have but they were on Chev (can't mentioned that word here) chassis. So don't know if my huckster is a "true" Model A type.

Good luck with your project. Keep the pictures coming.

Found out it is a Schurmeier Whitney replica with some slight differences most likely due to Rich not having a complete body to use as a template. I have been collecting parts 28/29 parts for the cowl and picked up a Briggs cowl also with the idea of possibly using it.

I am from New Mexico and just acuired a 1930 Model A Huckster with steel cab and wooden bed. I even have the original Blue Prints for the Huckster Build.

The wheels are not period correct 19's they have been changed for 16's

Truck starts right up and runs and drives. It has been in Arizona forever.

Can someone tell me what this thing may be worth.

I do not know much about these and thought it would be a great truck for parades, fairs, etc.

Thanks in advance,

AJ

I just got my Huckster out of the garage and around to the movie rental shop & the gas station last night. This is the first time she has been out so I'm kinda excited.
