Plans for a huckster rack for P/U bed

[George]

I would like to build a huckster style platform in the bed of my '29 P/U to hold & display garden produce to sell and am hoping someone on here might have a suitable plan or some pictures that they might share with me so I dont have to re-invent the wheel so to speak. Thanks for any help or ideas.

George, here is a picture of my huckster that I put together from a 1929 pick up chasis. The body is a Lentsville made body. If you have questions, PM me.

David,

The post and picture you see above is our huckster. It is realy not a real hard project and if a guy like I can do it, anyone can. Like I mentioned above, we purchased the body complete.

But is you want to build you own body, I see Wagon Works is still advertising that they have plans for various types of bodies in the Model A Times. Their phone number is 515-964-5085 (evenings). I also understand that they are sometimes a bit hard to get in contact with but I think they are still around.

I think what y'all are trying to tell him is not what he was asking. The way I read it is he does NOT want a Huckster body, ...he wants the "platform" to put in the back of a standard Model-A pick-up bed that he already has.

I see from his other post he has sort of a wooden bed on back of his rig. Still not sure what he wants.

George,
Is this the type of "Platform" you are asking about?
These pixs were taken at Model A Day in Sharon, WI. He has fake vegetables and fruit with a scale. Very nice display that is enjoyed every year.

In my interpretation of the request [email protected] has nailed it. JMO

In the huckster I had and sold some time ago I had a steel pipe frame about 50" high with angle iron bottom slides that slid into the bed. It was used to hang and sell vegetables from. It went with the huckster when I sold it.
