    Strange Tilly help

    Gang, Hey I am needing some help. I have a Tillitson Carburetor that looks like the stock Zeanith but there appears to be no information on them. I have a few pictures that I can post tomorrow. But I am guessing one of you must have information that can help me rebuild it. Thanks! Eric

    Huckster Body is on the Frame

    I mounted the Huckster body that we have been making onto the chassis last night. It took 4 strong guys helping me to get it lifted up and centered onto the chassis but that process only took about 10 minutes. The Hudson plans we used really did work out slick, they body mounted up to the cowl...

    Model A Bed

    I have a narrow bed for the 28 - early 31 pickup trucks. I am looking to trade it for a set of rear fenders for my Huckster project or for $550.00, that is a little under what I have in it.
