Hudson pickup

bigboy308

Anyone else seen the November 2009 issue of "Diesel Power" magazine? The feature vehicle is a 1947 HUDSON, yes, HUDSON pickup that just happens to have a Ford 7.3 Diesel engine!

It is WWAAAYYYY cool--Truck is licensed and used on the street----Road raced,1/4 miled, and speed-raced. Very interesting story on the User---



However---The truck itself is really neat--Top chopped a small amount, otherwise a beautiful stock-appearing HUDSON p/u. Even has Commodore turn signal lamps on front fenders.



Truck has been heavily modified otherwise, turns quarter mile @ 95mph, has been timed at 138 mph. It's a showcase for Para- and Quadriplegic controls for autos and is actally controlled by use of a mouth control.



Article states that the truck will be shown (and used!) @ SCTA events, including Bonneville. Can't wait to see in person locally.



Another shining article on the great HUDSON vehicles!!!

Way Cool! Now that's a good lookin' truck! And it's handicap friendly, that itself is way cool. See, no excuses for anybody not getting into the sport.
