As collectibles go, nothing gets as much attention in the old Cushman line as a Truckster Model. If you find yourself adding one to YOUR collection, you may well ask “What do I have and what will it take to refurbish it?”

What year is my cushman truckster? The answer is 1952 to 2002 depending on the serial plate, usually located by the handbrake. I have included a chart below for each years specific models.

In 1952, Cushman Inc. began manufacturing three and four-wheeled vehicles called Trucksters. The Truckster models were popular on job sites and in industrial plants. They were used as vehicles for parking meter attendants in many cities. Trucksters were small and maneuverable vehicles that could haul loads wherever needed. Cushman became a division of the Outboard Marine Corporation in 1962. Ransomes (of Great Britain) purchased Cushman in 1989, and then Textron purchased Ransomes. Determining the production year of a Truckster involves finding its serial number, or contacting Textron. Here are the procedures:

• First, locate the serial number. The Cushman serial number should be six numbers, then a dash, followed by four more numbers, such as 898101-7010. Trucksters often have their serial numbers on a metal plate (See the image above) on the dash near the emergency brake. If not located there, look under the driver’s side seat, and on the metal side rail below the floorboard on the driver’s side.
• Look at the two numbers following the dash. The two digits following the dash represent the year the Truckster was produced. All Trucksters were produced before 2000; so a model number of 898101-7010 would mean that the Truckster was produced in 1970.
• Finally, if the model is not in the chart below, you can contact Cushman directly by email at cushman@textron.com or at the customer service line 800-774-3946. They can provide information about how to find a serial number or if you found the number but can’t decipher it, they can tell you how to determine a production date without a serial number.

First, locate the serial number. The Cushman serial number should be six numbers, then a dash, followed by four more numbers, such as 8. Trucksters often have their serial numbers on a metal plate (See the image above) on the dash near the emergency brake.
