    A buddy just bought this truck and says it is a 1929 Hudson truck. Previous owner says so, ***le says so, and body tag. I was almost sure it was a ford model TT. I have only seen pictures though not in person yet. ImageUploadedByTJJ1361752601.723866.jpg ImageUploadedByTJJ1361752616.312500.jpg

    Looks to me like 23-27 ford cab but the new owner says it has Hudson rocker plates on it and look original. He says the seat structure is different than the TT cabs he has owned in the past. The windshield frame is wooden too. I have looked up Hudson, Es***, and Dover trucks from 29 and cannot find anything that matches this cab. The closest I find is ford

    I know back window section is a little different but that could easily have been added in

    Looks like a ford T cowl and the rest could easily have been hand made and looks it in spots. Tim

    While the cab looks a lot like a mid '20's "T" or "TT", I would guess that the frame might be Hudson. From the way that the front frame horns roll down, it looks like it had twin front leaf springs.


    Later, *****6 :cool:
