1946 HUDSON pick up truck; leading Ford, Chevy, & Chrysler in its hayday

Description for Packard Hudson 1946

An over-all original looking "Hudson" pick up truck on the outside. but Chevrolet drivetrain/Buick tilt steering column. With a 305 V8; 2 barrel; automatic on the column; Air conditioning; power steering; front disc brakes. Runs & drives dependably (like a truck). Recent Dual exhaust sounds like a collector wants an old truck with new twists. to sound. All new & redone underneath. with no rust (frame painted. nbsp;new parts-gas/brake lines. nbsp;etcetera done 8 years ago). Painless wiring kit used. Most lights work. New parts added recently: Complete HEI distributor; mechanical fuel pump; plug wires. tires/rims/hubcaps; seat; carburetor; gas lines; neutral lock-out switch. etc. A new temperature gauge will be installed under the dash (now hooked up in engine compartment). New "doors" glass has been received & will be installed as soon as glass guide felt parts are received. The roll-ups do work correcly but both door glass have cracks. All the other glass & rubber seals are NEW. New wood bed & metal retainer slats. Needs: The door glass install as mentioned (to be completed by me). A small ding at front bumper flare on corner (the only ding on truck). Dash gauges/lights/dome light need hook up with painless wiring kit ready under dash leading from the fuse block. Need rear shocks installed (buyer's job). Needs Wiper arms & blades(new owner's job to complete; wiper motor works). I have the door panels painted red (match seat) & door/window period handles/handle backing plastic rings. To be installed by me when glass is in. Parts I have with truck: front bumber & guards(need rechrome); original seat (new owner may not want. but springs/frame/woods/hardware there); inside door frames (same silver color to be installed by me when the roll-up glass is installed). some small miscellaneous parts. And. I have the original headliner "stretch" bows/wands assembly (think there are 5 or 6 rods/wands) for your new headliner snugging/install (new buywer's job; headliner material not furnished). I will probably relist this. or move it to the "other models" catagory where it seems most Hudsons are advertised. Hudson always reminde me of Packard or Studebaker design. so it is Packard catagory for now. Bid to win. Dream on your own time. As is sale. Any/all questions email or call Howard 904-881-3495. If you're on an oil rig or on assignment in Zimbabwae don't contact me. I will sell overseas. Many American relics are already there (foreign buyers started investing 60+ years ago).

Truck has no rust; all new looking inside fender wells/bolts/splash areas. Again. custom restored 8-10 years ago with minimal usage since (previous owner died-wife sold it to me). I have many more pictures ( can furnish title/VIN plate pics also ) & may try a YouTube running/driving video sometime down the selling road. Hood & doors close flush. tight. with no rattles. Wire is run up to headliner light position for installing inside cab headlamp. I may have the cab light & mirror. Will note as I confirm.
