I have one for sale. Let me check the year. Where are you located, I'm in PA.....

Mines a 1988... No title... Was built for and operated by NYCPD.. It runs very well, but it don't stop. NO BRAKES.. There hydraulic drums just like you would find on a older car. You can get all the parts for them through Dennis Carpenter. If your interested in a "project" I have another that I would sell, but shes going to need some work! Let me know. I'm close to Harrisburg, Pa.

i actually bid on one from nc state surplus it was used on campus for maintenance. im just wondering what they go for. and how hard they are to work on. if i get it i plan on doing it up like a truck with straight pipes and mud tires and a cb.

Thier awesome. My Dad has, I think every Cushman they made except for a Eagle. I have a 1956 Truckster in the garage now. As far as value, just do what you have to do to get it bought within reason. There easy to work on and you can get any and all parts, however the cabed trucks are a little tight to do any real engine work on, on them you can just drop everything out the bottom.

Just a guess but I'm thinking $2500-$3000 for a decent truck. I could be way off, but in my N.E. market that would be close.

i put in a verry low bid because i assume no body in my area has much use for one and no body knows they are street legal. this one does not run but they say its only the battery.

If you get it let me know. Also let me know if you need anything as far as parts.

Randy, you or your dad have any spare Generators for the 1940's Cushmans?? I need one for my '47 That and a beat up 50 series trunklid as I am going to do away with my buddy seat.

I work for the City of Pasadena, and the city has been using Cushman trucks for decades. For parking enforcement, sanitation, and parks maint. Unfortunately the parts are getting real hard to get because the company has changed hands several times, and they are being phased out. We have at least half a dozen of them parked out back because the rear axles are broken, the people who load them just don't use common sence, and hence overload them to the point of failure. A 98 modle uses a 1000cc Daihatsu engine with either a automatic or manual transmission. If not for the current parts situation we would probably still be buying them! Any help with information or technical assistance, PM me.
