My new Hudson - 47 Pickup

ALBrad

Well, It's not the Stepdown I put feelers out for on the Classified page, but I brought home a 47 pickup today. I bought it from a HET Member in Tennessee. It needs a lot of work, but all of it is there but the bed wood/braces.  Let's see now... I need.........

ALBrad

Are the doors unique to the pickups, or are they the same as a coupe or 4 dr fronts? 

Ric West IN

Same as 4 door fronts, 1941.  42-47 sedans had the added running board flare/cover.

ALBrad

Thank you Ric. I need a 41 sedan driver's door... lol  After I read your post I looked on Google images... it is a rather obvious change isn't it. The outside door skin bottom and bottom aft corner of mine is rusted out. I'd rather start with OS than try and re-skin this one.

Please email me your SN, Name, City State to update the HET roster.  Thanks

Repair of rusted doors is probably cheaper and quicker than finding and paying for a replacement.  Very nice find... as UNCLE JOSH would say ... casts a shadow... put it to work.   Good Luck

His stock is mostly 42-47. I am going to send him an email though to see if he has others. Thanks.

Yep. I emailed him. I sent you an email just now too. I found several previous owners in registration docs which I included. Thanks.

Nice - according to the HET Serial number reference, my truck was made in March of 47... in the last week.... possibly on a Wednesday (if the ratios were perfect).
