You are looking at on of 1500
1946 Hudson Pickup Trucks produced. This bad boy had been through
a frame off street rod restoration and it is as sharp as it is
rare. Finished at the end of 2000 it has only 7600 well cared
for miles on it. It is powered by a 1989 LT1 Corvette engine
that features little goodies like a Polished Aluminium Intake
with a new 650 Edelbrock Carb, Polished Alt, Polished Power steering
Pump and Polished A/C Compressor, Corvette style Headers with
Winston Cup Exhaust out. It is cooled with a Walker Copper Core
Radiator. The rear end is a 10 bolt Chevy Nova, geared 373. There
were 8 leafs removed from the rear springs to smooth the ride
from the original set up. Wiring was done with a Francaes Wiring
Harness. Inside you will find a Grey Valour Interior by Carolina
Auto Trim in Bufford SC, S_10 Bench Seat w/ seat belts, GM Tilt
Column with a black Grant GT Wheel, Vintage Heat & Air, all
new smoke tinted safety glass, Power Windows & Windshield
Wipers. The dash was hand fabricated to sport the new VDO Competition
Gauges and still features the original starter button (functional),
light button and the original dash emblem. The door handles are
from a VW and emergency brake handle located by the drivers door
is from a Mustang. The brakes are disc on front and drum on the
rear. The tires and wheels are also new. 6" Rallies on the
front and 8" Rallies on the rear. It also features a 17
gallon aluminium fuel tank. The bed is lined in polished deck
plate and looks great in the truck. It is painted White pearl
with Silver Fenders and Running boards. The running boards are
functional and lead to the side exhaust ports that give it the
sporty look. The truck is all steel, solid and even has he original
vin tag on the passengers side door jam. Hood tilts forward as
was origianl and it still has the original emblem. This truck
looks mostly original but let me tell you that when you turn
the key and the LT1 breaths to life you will fill the hairs on
your neck stand up as it pushes this Bad Boy down the road in
a hurry~! Sitting behind the wheel is a pleasure because it drives
as good as it looks. The current owner/builder spent 4 years
building it and has shown it very little. Guaranteed to be a
head and RPM turning strip cruiser! Show or go it is priced to
sell (well below the build cost!!) and is currently looking for
a new home. How about yours?
