Re: Model A Huckster Group
I have contacted the sites and people who have been suggested to me from this site and others. I can affirm that they do not want to offer any help. However, I have found some basic dimensions that along with some simple math, some measuring, calculating proportions and using CAD measuring, I am in the process of coming up with a drawing with some measurements I may be able to build from. I have loaded all this onto a CAD program , so as soon as I have something worthwhile to see, I'll be sure to post it for all. Thanks

If you are handy with CAD you can scale up photos based on known measurements like wheels. I have used Corel to export raster files that then get translated to a CAD file. I am also sending you and email with dimensions for the Station Wagon from a book I have that I forgot I had that may help. |

Re: Model A Huckster Group
I am in the process of building using same plans. Do you happen to know the Dodge year? The cushion looked thicker than the ones I have looking at in the scrap yards. Thank you for posting pictures.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
That is from a late 80's or 90's 1st generation Caravan it is the middle bench seat that is narrower than later years. I got one from 2000 that is 41inches wide after 2003 I think they went to 48inches wide.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Jack B, I tried to locate the fellow who gave Me the Dodge Seat, to no avail, he has moved. He told me that it was from a Dodge Darango ??? Maybe mjw is correct, it may be from an early Caravan ?? I do remember he said it was from the Late 90's.
The Photos Below is what Prompted Me to Build a Huckster Van, as of now I am Engineering the Installation the Rear Bumper. Also I have included Photos of a Huckster Pick-up for thoes that may Not Want to Build the Van Version. Jay Cramer has the Plans for Both Versions, that I have Used. Click on My Name in my Avtar, go to the Profile section to see Photos of my Build Last edited by Jazzjr; 02-24-2012 at 02:27 PM. |

Re: Model A Huckster Group
I just got a '30 Huckster today-The seller brought it to me, and he literally had to drive through a tornado to get here! (in Dexter,Mi). I had been buying parts from him via a Craigslist ad, and when he offered me this uncompleted Huckster, I had to have it, even though I've barely started on my '30 Fordor, and I had to really move stuff around to make enough room in the pole barn to shoehorn it in. I know nothing about it, and I don't even have any photos of it yet-it was raining as he pulled up with it on the trailer, and we were more concerned with getting it in the barn than taking pics. I suspect I'll have this one on the road long before the Fordor.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Well I did get my plans from Jay. So what I need to do is figure if the back wall of the cab section is in the correct location to allow a full metal bed to fit. I don't want to use the entire plan and build a wood rear section,just the cab.
Now congrats on your purchase Jeep. We definitely need to see pics, so don't be long

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Jeep, congrats on your Huckster. They are a fun rig to have.
Just a comment about a Huckster. If it is made out of Oak, be sure you make sure the wood it treated well. Oak tends to "age" with moisture showing black spots that tend to grow and gives you a well aged look. A friend of mine has a Huskster just like mine and he kept it in a shed that let in the moisture. It ended up with these black spots and he has had a real problem trying to refinish it. Anyway good luck with your purchase and have fun with it. Would like to see pictures also.
