Default Re: Model A Huckster Group

Dave,

Nice photos. If I was going to do one from scratch I would go your route with the metal cowl and windshield posts. Rich simplified the design based on a single cowl post and windshield posts made from wood and wrapped in metal, a fairly complicated piece of woodworking and metalworking.

I have the most fun with this vehicle over my other Model A's. It is a summer weather truck with no side windows. Pull the pins from the door hinges and the doors come off. The rear window also comes out with the removal of four eye bolts. I haul different items for different parades such as milk cans, wooden crates, bushel baskets of apples, and beer kegs. It is fun to mix it up and find something else to haul. This truck always get a lot of thumbs up. Also when I built it I took the cab inner dimensions of my 1930 coupe to comfortably fit my 6 foot plus frame.
