swap meet model A
I picked this up last weekend at the Fredericksburg swap meet, it has a Martin Perry body. He said it was a produce truck. What do you think?

Re: swap meet model A
WOW, that is a CUTIE! Be thankful it's complete and you don't have to find parts specific to that body.

Re: swap meet model A
Congratulation on your purchase! I enjoyed looking it over at the Fredericksburg Swap Meet and thought it was a neat pickup. Thought it was interesting that the windows slid up and down and were not the roll up type we are all use to. Enjoy your new pickup!

Re: swap meet model A
Whoa.........I've heard about Roswell, and I think this is something left behind by the alliens.
  Actually I like it.  Does it have more room than the Ford cab?

Re: swap meet model A
Very nice looking truck! Here is a pic I saved, it supposedly is a MP Huckster also. I don't know who the couple is or where they are located.
And here is an advertisement.

Re: swap meet model A
I think I'd like to see more pictures.
Nice looking little truck. I have always liked the fact that ingenious people would take the basic model A platform and make something different out of it.

Re: swap meet model A
turnpikecrusier, when do you think the chassis was manufactured? Date stamp on fire wall? Engine number? Just curious.
