Model A Huckster Group
I started a Model A Huckster Group.
I know a Huckster is not a "true blue" Model A Ford type body but there are a number of them around. So all you "odd balls" let's join in together and share some ideas.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Well I'm not ready to join as of yet. I just got my 31 p.u home and he's going to begin the next stage of his life as a Huckster. I got my body plans which I'm going to do some tweeking to but will still (other than wood body) be a stock Model A. I would like to ask, do you have any good pic's of how the cowl meets the wood cab? Fitting the cowl isn't in the plans.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
I have a pair of hinges made for a huckster or woody. They are made correctly for a 1928-1929 style. Duplicated from an original set of hinges. Anyone interested, asking $300 plus shipping or I can deliver to French Lick, and I can send pics. 413-786-6318 after 6PM

https://www.dropbox.com/sc/d8w9utonz...ktpDdlPD29hjJa I made a full set of drawings of the body as I took it apart (The only way I'd be able to get it back together!) They are not "plans". They are just detailed measured exploded views of every sub assembly. Let me know if they can be of any help. |

Re: Model A Huckster Group
My package from Jay at Wagon Works arrived yesterday, looks like a good challenge. Wish I could drop everything and start today!

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Me and a friend are building both the truck version and the panel truck version with their plans. The plans that we have are from 1995 so no DVD was available.The plans are easy to follow , and a person with even moderate wood working skills can have the body roughed together in a weekend. Getting it sitting on the frame also keeps you motivated because it looks like something ...Heck ... we even cut down the oak tree that we sawed up and had kiln dried for the lumber .This seems like the cheepest way to get into an "A"..... Oh , by the way , if you are very tall, don't forget to taylor the seating to fit yourself during your build

This is very good advise. I am 6'2" and have a little problem getting my big feet in the door. I had the guy make the seat sit back a ways.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Just finished the body building platform for my huckster. Using a 28-29 cowl and it will be powered by a 1975 Ford 1.8 SOHC engine with a 4-speed transmission.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Looks like it is on the way. Also looks like it is in good shape. Good luck.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Hey, I am interested!! Been loading pix of Hucksters from the internet and wondered if anyone has actual plans for Huckster bodies for an "A"?
