Charles Furman Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just posted 5 pictures of my two Pilothouse woodies in the Photo Gallery under Dodge Trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wow, Charles, those are some nice lookin' woodies. Was this from the Encinitas show on the 19th? I wanted to go to that but was getting back from the midwest that very same day. You ever cruise your woodies up to San Onofre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJs 1948 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 That is one beautiful truck Charles. Someday I would like to see one in person. Do you have any idea how many of the Pilot House Woodies are left? Please post more photos. Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 The wood gives it a nice warm glow , especially that interior shot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Furman Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Both of these woodies have been to San Onofre. We have a surf contest at San Onofre as part of the Encinitas Wavecrest Woodie Show weekend each September and I drive one of the woodies up there every year. I usually limit the 1948 4x4 woodie to a 100 miles radius of my home simply because it is a 61 year old unrestored original truck with 36,000 miles. I will drive the 1949 woodie anywhere. The longest trip so far was from Oceanside to Santa Cruz for a Woodie Meet last summer. Total trip was around 1100 miles. As far as how many Pilothouse woodies are out there, I know of about 16 to 20. Most are 1/2 tons with the 108 inch wheel base. Those have three seats and carry 8 people plus luggage. There are a few 3/4 tons on 126 inch chassis which have four rows of seats and carry 11 people. Another friend of mine has a 1952 1 1/2 ton on a 192 inch chassis that has dual rear wheels, six rows of seats and carrys 18 people. Maybe I will create a Pilothouse Woodie album and post pictures of all the Pilothouse woodies I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJs 1948 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 If you have a chance an album of the Pilot-House woodies would be great to have for the forum. I also happen to have an addiction to beautiful wood cars and boats. Someday maybe to own one..... Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Furman Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 It all depends on the dates. I have had conflicts every year so far, but you never know. Have the dates been set yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
