Studebaker truck pics wanted

My 14 year old neighbor wants to get an old truck for a project for his first car. I know of a 46 Studebaker truck cab and front end that is nice and in his price range. Does anybody have any pics of one that looks cool to give him an idea of it's potential?
Thanks
Clark

Hey Clark,
I haven't got back to Clearfield to pickup the 50 Stude pickup I bought yet.
If the boy wants that I'll let it go cheap.
Sorry I don't have any pics of it.
It's rough but buildable.

Well, its not too purty at the moment.....

Hey Clark! This is a little bit much for my personal taste, but there are some cool ideas on this truck...the chop looks pretty good...

Cool pics guys,but I think if your gonna chop one of those things it would need sectioning as well! Definitly different!!!

Thanks for the pics. I have always liked this style truck and have a couple of cool ideas for one. Sectioning one would be easy. First I'd take a couple of inches out of the panel below the door. I wouldn section the hood I'd take it out of the panel below the hood. Another thing I thought is the rear fenders would look better if they were put on backwards (switch side to side)

Not sure if the kid is going to be able to get it yet.

The purple truk with the Chrysler quads belongs to Ckustoms of ColoRODo Springs...it's an old 60's survivor, uses '62 Chrysler tail fins and taillights and a Nomad tailgate...he's on this board sometimes...owns Back Street Kustoms in ColoRODo Springs.

Hate to burst your bubble, but 62 Chryslers didn't have fins. 61's did...

46stude,
I believe I read that your truck is on a Chevy LUV chassis. Is that right?

Can you tell me what the tread width is? I have been thinking about a 50's (C cab) Stude truck on a Dodge Dakota chassis and the dimensions look close.

The late 40s models look cool, too and I got to wondering if Studebaker used the same chassis for both models...

Thanks,
Dave

[2tall2beahotrodder]

[46stude]

Yep, mine's on a LUV chassis. Tread width is about 55 or so inches. Its actually kinda narrow, but the LUVs have 6 lug wheel patterns &amp; I'm going to use adapters to make it a 5 lugger. The adapters will widen the track width to where I want it. I have some chromed wagon wheels on it right now &amp; it looks fine, but they have a good amount of backspacing. The rear end from the LUV is too narrow to use, though. I'll be swapping a Ford 8 or 9 inch into it, so that don't matter either.

Chassis are not the same from the M series to the C series, but I can't remember the differences in dimensions off hand. A Dakota would probably be a good donor for a C cab.

[Rot 'n Kustom]

Here is one of my favorites. This pic is a scanned copy of a Hot Rod Magazine Trading card from 1966 or so. I've had it since then.

The truck is called the Wild Cherry. According to the info on the back of the card, it has 6 cylinder power, and was dropped 4 inches. I like the custom work on the front: canted quads, peaked hood, and '58 Buick squares in the stock grill opening.

A slightly different version of the truck appears in the 1963 Peterson Spotlite book Custom Pickups by George Barris,

I would love to get a copy of the Hot Rod Magazine (or maybe Car Craft or R&amp;C) this first appeared in. Probably appeared sometime between 1959 and 1965. Anybody know what issue? Thanks,

Dave

I loved my '49 (went to Franco, it's Katie's now) Good looking trucks, ugliest and hottest dashboard ever though! The dash IS the firewall! Don't have a pic, but it was hunter green with medium whites, beanies and rings, white tonneau and white bumpers. Uh, just kind of picture it in your head I guess...

Hey I know this one. It belongs to Danny Wirt. He has a body shop somewhere right outside of Littlerock. I ran into him on the 2001 power tour when he was driving a Killer 55 nomad called Lowmad. Then in 2003 he was driving this truck with a custom tube chassis, LT-1, and air bags. He had just got it running and didnt even have any guages in it and no door glass. Had the pressure switches and guages for the bags kinda hanging from the dash. Then on the 2004 powertour it looked like this. He builds some nice rides.

[bstie]

Here's mine, there is no drive trane in it yet and the visor is just mocked up.

[Lobucrod]

I've been looking at this 53 Stude pickup sitting in a guys back yard on my way to and from work everyday. Actually I couldnt tell what it was through the trees so I finally stopped to check it out. Got him to give me a price on it so I searched and found this topic and couldnt get my mind off of it. I went by at lunch today and made a deal on it. I'll have it home by the weekend. NO rust (except for a little in the floorboard) and it runs!

Not the best pic of a future project but the longer it sits the more I think about how it will be done....

This is a 2R as opposed to the M series you are looking at . The bumper is a '95 Ford truck , narrowed , with shortened sides and a "D" shaped opening cut into it . 467 cid Poncho motor

Here's a pic of the 'first' Studebaker pickup....
In 1937 Studebaker took their base model car (the Dictator) and stamped a different
roof panel and cab back panel.
They hung an all steel pickup box on it and brought out the 'Coupe Express'.
They built approximately 3600 of them, but about 600 of them were cab and chassis,
or cowl and chassis (mostly for 'depot hacks; ie: "Woodie's"). The 'other' 3,000 were pickups.
Too bad the depression was in full swing, and they didn't sell very well.
They built about 1300 in 1938, after a major body styling change,
and then built about 1,000 in 1939 after another total body styling change.
After that they said to heck with this and no pickup trucks were built in 1940.
The M series was brought out in 1941 and ran until 1948, when the Ccab came out.
LOT's of M's and Ccab's were built.
Love the pic's!

Have you got any more pics of this truck (profile, engine bay, etc)? Looks like you nailed the stance.

here's one of my rides. it was kinda rough when I got it, so I decided to go the gasser route. it's a blast at car shows to uncork the headers and drive around. done in 60's style.
