1946 Hudson C-28 3/4 Ton Pickup--SOLD (Portugal) - $0
Rare 1946 Hudson C-28 3/4 Ton Pick Up Truck. The truck that is a car! Hudson literally took their sedan bodies and chopped them in half to create a pick up truck. From the front and inside the dash looks like a car. From the back, it's a truck.
Finished in Hudson's Jamestown Blue. Rare survivor with a newly rebuilt motor with less than 500 miles on it. Solid and complete, the truck also has a new headliner. Interior is good, with nice bench seat and door panels finished in blue vinyl. Paint is OK--and older respray that has scuffs and wear all around that give it a great authentic look. Nice pale yellow tire rims accent the unusual color of the truck. Solid body and frame with only minor surface rusts and just a few minor repair areas on body.

The 1946 Hudson pickup was powered by Hudson long-stroke (76.2-mm bore, 127-mm stroke) side-valve “Super Six” engine that featured a chrome alloy cylinder block. With a displacement of 3.5 litres, it developed 102 horsepower. Its three-speed manual transmission was column-shifted when other trucks still used a floor-shift. Naturally, it had Hudson’s famous cork-insert, oil-immersed clutch, and overdrive was available, unusual for a pickup. The Hudson pickup was fitted with a cavernous cargo box measuring a generous 2,362 mm long, 1,219 mm wide and over 457 mm deep, providing 48 cubic feet of cargo volume.
