47 Pick-up

What is going on, is that thing really worth $12,000? It looks like it has major cancer and other issues. If that is what the trucks are going for I'll never have one. I under stand what a truck like Bill A's is worth, but I sure don't understand this one.

Thanks for posting some links lately, mars55...that makes it really easy to go look at the item. Very thoughtful and helpful!0

I would say that this one is grossly overpriced. I think that the gas can in the back may very well be the gas tank.... I bet you will meet an interesting individual tha would sign the title over on this one...0

Rick; I look at this truck and I see a $2000 at best vehicle. If you can see all that bondo popping loose in photos it must really be bad in person. I would say more if it was the original drivetrain with lots of body work but this looks like a complete ground up restoration project if you want a good clean truck when it's done.

Pix are easy.
1) Find desired photo on the internet, place cursor on photo, RIGHT click, then left-click PROPERTIES from the resulting window.
2) Next to LOCATION, highlight with your cursor the part that starts "http", then right-click and select COPY. (Be sure to "sweep" over the entire URL, not just part of it.)
3) Go back to the particular Forum thread where you'll post photo. Hit POST REPLY.
4) When window opens, click GO ADVANCED.
5) Click on the "little yellow box" icon
6) Place cursor in white box, right-click, and from the window, select PASTE. (Be sure HTTP doesn't appear twice in the box)
7) Type a message to go with the photo, then click SUBMIT REPLY. (If this is a first posting and not a reply, you need to fill in a title).
Might take you 3 minutes to do this the first time, 2 minutes the second time, and after that you can do it blindfolded.0 -

I'll try again later.
Thanks, Bob0 -
I think the problem with the MSN pics is that there is a different pic address when you are logged in as a user. I noticed that there is the word "Secure" in the address that BJ_TN tried to post...0

HELLO ALL, hoopity here. Hailing from Kansas City, Mo. I am the goofball that bought the black 47 P.u. last week on ebay. As tyoe all probably know...need a set of grill bars, possibly l/f fender... is the 41 and up commodore fender correct?
Just a few questions... although I am new here ( I have always lusted for a 47 Hudson PU) I have done several cars over the yeasrs. Mostly Mopar...
thanks in advance.

Welcome hoopity. Hudsons are great and this forum is the an excellent resource.
I also have a 47 PU that I bought this year. Grill bars are fairly common if your looking for the SS ones. I belive the fenders are the same, other than trim holes. I believe I have one left front that needs some work.
Is your truck the same one that was on Ebay in FL last year?0 -
Thanks guys, I will start a net thred. If you think the fender is salvagable mbrauninger@kc.rr.comm0

As the man says - that is one rare pickup. I was completely in the dark about the V-8 Dodge powered Hudson pickups. I didn't know that Hudson got V-8 engines from Dodge. Besides that it must have been a special order - I don't think the 318's came out until later.
Makes this beast an extremely rare and desireable vehicle to own, well beyond the current bidding prices.
And I also was clueless about the 1951 Dodge trucks having a 318 - all the ones I've seen were six cylinders - so I'd love to find one of those rare birds.
All in all I think I'd stay far, far away from this one - this fellow doesn't have a clue about old cars.
Now, all that said and done, a 318 would be an excellent choice to drop in a Hudson pickup of the 46-47 era. Or earlier, as the late Kelly Hinegardner put in his 37 T pickup (I can't remember now if he put a 318 in that one, or something bigger - but it was Mopar.
Happy Bidding.

I would rather find something with a patina of age rather than this botch job. It looks like this guy watched the Barrett Jackson auctions and thought he would get rich on ebay. I hope he doesn't sell it. I think everyone should be allowed to make a fair profit on a decent product, but garbage shouldn't make anyone money. If the problems we can see are so obvious what do you think is hidden from view?

I sent the guy an email and straightened him out on how many were built and how many survive.
The club roster lists around 250 trucks, of which around 50 are pre-460 -
The truth will set him free, either that or he will ignore your note and keep his story in the interest of making big bucks.
