    Ditto to the gorgous etc comments... with such a sparce field of vehicles ... where did this truck originate? The last time I looked at a 36 truck was the Willow Springs vehicle that reappeared forsale on Ebay some years ago.

    Beautiful. Great job. I've been kicking around this club for 40 years now and I really can't remember seeing another '36 pickup - outside of the National in Pontiac last summer. There was at least one there, can't remember if there were any others.



    The one in Pontiac was nice, but not as nice as yours.



    Enjoy the ride.

    Beautiful! How about some pictures of the interior, dash, guages, bed, engine compartment, etc.? Any pictures of the build/restoration?

    Is my eyesight going, or are the fenders a slightly different color than the cab, hood and bed?

    Is your electric hand operational? Also, what is the big round gizmo on the driver's side of the engine next to the firewall?? I think that I have to repaint my engine, yours is entirely to clean.

    Isn't that "big round gizmo" part of the electric hand (which is actually a 'vacuum hand')? But... I'm no expert.

    It isn't part of the electric hand, could be a vacuum clutch, but I don't think so, maybe it is an after market oil filter?? What say you Scott??
  • ScottScott

    Richard,

    That is an original Marvel Mystery Oiler that came with the truck. You have an adjustment knob for how many drops of oil you want to set it at, and it plumbs into the vacuum system and lubes your upper valve train.

    I can't get anything by you 36 guy's.

    Scott-

    Your truck is absolutely gorgeous! Very impressive. I love the reflection shot . . . speaking of that, what model is your coupe? She looks great, as well.:)

    Very, very nice.:D Can you tell us about the gauges? They look new, not just repainted? Also the dash knobs look new. Did you have someone make new pieces or are these redone originals?:)

    I am looking forward to seeing this truck in person. It looks like a superb restoration. The exterior horns and fender lights are all accessories that were available in '36 and they really add to class of this vehicle. The interior is really nicely done as well, wood graining, instruments, etc., even a radio. Very well done, Scott. Congratulations!

    The more I see of this truck, the more impressed I am with it.

    Would LOVE to see a detailed photo album of the build process on this one...

    I'd say he has graduated with honors on this one. My hat's off and I'm looking for my jaw as well. A gold medal to him and I'm glad this rare truck was rescued.

    Very Nice! I noticed it has Mod. 62 doors with vent windows and a wood grained dash unlike a model 61(Com models) this didn't happen to be one of the rare conversion kits supposedly sold by Hudson (circa 1937 +) to convert a sedan was it? An easy way to tell is if it has "torque arms" on the front suspension like a sedan that the pickup didn't have.

    Just a guess mind you, but I would say that it is more likely that a lot of the '62' items you are looking at came from a car, most likely a sedan. Sedan doors interchange with the pickup, as do quite a few other things, to include the dashboard trim - you'll note that the dashboard itself is painted brown - however the trim, glovebox door, speedometer surround, etc., are woodgrained (a very nice look...).
