1947 Hudson Three-Quarter Ton Pickup / Specs, Photos, Styling

Featured in this article is a very rare and fine looking restored 1947 Hudson Three-Quarter Ton Pickup. The Hudson brand may not be immediately associated with light truck production. Some of this has to do with the various brand names, other than Hudson, that the earlier Hudson produced trucks were given.

Hudson’s earliest light trucks were privately built on Hudson car chassis beginning around 1914. They were typically used as Hudson dealer service trucks and as ambulances and fire department support vehicles.
