Huckster Guys.....I think You'll like this
I've always liked woody wagons and hucksters. As an engineer, I have access to CAD software so I decided to model one up in 3D for fun. Some of the plans I've seen for these things are pretty poorly done as far a details and today's drawing standards. I'm not done yet but getting close. This is based off of a few that I've seen running around....Yes, I'm making a set of VERY detailed drawings for it.

Nice work! Now when you get that done, make a drawing of a postal truck body.

Re: Huckster Guys.....I think You'll like this
I did a full set of measured drawings of my original steel skinned 1928 Huckster in the pre computer 1970s. I did it the old school way on a drafting table with drafting tools. Below are a few examples. For all the drawings and many photographs use this link to my dropbox album.

Make sure there's room for a tall driver, the huckster I had was too tight for a 6'- 3 driver.

Although natural wood is beautiful, I believe that most hucksters were painted. Usually green.

I think steel skinned painted Hucksters have a much better period look. But then I admit to being biased!
