    3 wheeled Pre '60s Cushman Truckster Info needed

    Well I'm gonna try to start my "restore" of an old 3 wheeled truckster I have but I can find any info or pics. I'm pretty sure its pre-1970 and possibly pre-1960. Any pics or info to help me out? I'll post pics tomorrow, hopefully getting all sandblasted tomorrow.

    Well mine is an early one, between '55 and '59, and in '58 the model 780 trucksters got hydrolic brakes which if mine is a 780 it has drum brakes. Thanks TTR I was looking at that page but didnt see the three wheeler pics part. Here is what mine looks like but I'm missing the seat section and the metal bed/fenders. If everything goes good, which i cant imagine happening, I should have it all primed and painted by the weekend.



    Yikes, I found an old picture of mine. This was taken by my uncle probably 5 years ago.

    Yes I definatly have some questions

    1. Where was the gas tank located? under where you sit or farther back?
    2. The Engine I have has different gears. Any idea on how they worked the clutch for this?
    3. How was the throttle setup? was it twist?
    4. Like I said my engine has multiple gears and is an onan. Any idea if this is stock?
