these are cramped trucks how are tall are you

I am considering narrowing the year range to 1946 & 1947 only since they a easier to find that the pre-war models.

Cruzer I'll email you a few questions I've got for you and my budget. I'm 5'9" tall so they should be fine for me.
I'll look into finding someone close to where I am at currently who has a Hudson PU so i can see what they are link in the cab. thanks for the advice Jon.

look for the cream and brown truck

Cruzer, i am in West Sacramento close to Wyotech Sacramento on Stillwater road. Add the fact that I do not have a car (hence why I am looking for the truck at the moment) I would have to taxi to get to where you are. Also are the two you mentioned that might be for sale on your property or elsewhere? Maybe we could figure something out where I could see how they are their interior is and look at the other two.

Here's a couple of dash pictures of the 41 Hudson 1/2T pickup. It's all disassembled now. I won't be going back to the original color which was green (this truck had a darker rattle can green over the original color, and someone painted over the name of the dairy where the truck was used). BTW, just so you know Christopher, look on the top passenger hinge and you will see a letter or letters stamped on it. This is the paint code for you car. The last picture is a bed of a 41 that someone owns back in Massachussets; think his name is Brady. Perry Spring in CA helped cut the wood for my 1/2T. I just need to finish rebuilding the engine for this truck, and finish body work/reassembly. I'll be redoing the woodgraining. The chassis has all new suspension parts and should ride nice since I removed about half the spring leaves in the back (stock is basically over overload springs). I installed a front stabilizer bar and need to get the rear lateral stabilizer put in. I also added a right side taillight. It's just not safe enough out there anymore without something a little more than that one tiny occulus taillight. There's one other tiny modification that we did to the bed to really dress it up more nicely which is to put a rounded trim piece at the back side of the inner fenders so that the gap where the wood butts up to the fender isn't seen. Just a little better looking. The truck below doesn't have that. You can see the flange along the inner fenders, then it ends with out curving to the outer pickup bed wall.

Next week I'll be starting my second phase, so that should work out Cruzer. I'll call you once I know my schedule. As for the hood oranament, could I have your first name so he knows it is going back to you.
