I don't know why the professionally-built Hucksters and Station Wagons are built with a particular wood but many of the homebuilders seem to prefer Red Oak because it's readily available and cuts and finishes nicely. However, I'm planning to use White Oak on my own Huckster Van project because it's supposedly more resistant to humidity-induced "mold spotting". (And Lord knows we've got plenty of humidity here in SE Texas!)

The answer to that question is dependent upon whether you're duplicating an original, or a modern professionally or amateur-built Huckster, Station Wagon, or ???
I strongly urge you to purchase a set of plans and follow their lumber callouts. Building without a set of plans or drawings would be difficult. (Not impossible, but definitely harder!) There are several sources of quality plans available for the amateur builder. I got mine from WagonWorks and I was quite humbled when I realized how much work, trial & error, and wasted money would have been required if I had tried to build one without plans!!!
