Re: Model A Huckster Group
I have built a Huckster body with red oak lumber. My design is based on the Lentville huckster but with wider doors. Pictures of my huckster build is shown under tkaris on the ford barn.
if this design is to your liking, I can provide you with detailed drawings that I prepared for each piece. I also have progress pictures. Ted Karis [email protected] |

Ted- I found your name in the membership list, but no photos except the one for your avatar. I'm sure it's because I didn't navigate the site correctly, but that is normal. Check your spam folder for a message from me.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
If you decide to move ahead consider giving yourself a little more cab room. When I built my huckster I replicated my 30 coupe cab interior dimensions to give my tall frame a fighting chance for comfort. The added cab size shortened the length of the bed an equal amount but was not ever noticed by admirers. You probably won’t be using it to haul sheets of plywood anyway.

[email protected] did you use the stock front floor subframe or build it from wood?

Re: Model A Huckster Group
My Huckster was built from swap meet spare parts and ended up being a Johnny Cash car. It was titled as a 1928 but it had parts from all years including 1933 rear fiberglass fenders.
I also made several other “improvements “ to this build with removal doors for super hot summer parades and removable rear window for extra carrying room, ventilation, communication with any passengers riding in the back…. |

Have fun doing it. It took me about 2 years to finish mine.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
I am a little over a year into mine, and just starting to lay on the roof slats. It is my first A, and the learning curve is long. I am using Wagon Works plans which is much easier (IMHO) than designing from scratch. If you already have model A experience, the project will be easier.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
I am new to the Model A as well, but have access to knowledgeable people, which is reassuring. Good to hear about the plans, as I just ordered the Wagon Works plans and DVD. And this is a retirement project, so I am giving myself time. (not yet retired, )
