I learned a lot about what would fit what when re-bodying my '60 Champ pickup. (Basically, a t-cab truck was a four-door Lark from the b-pillars...
They didn't offer quads in '60. but the header panel would fit from '59-'63, any model, including trucks!!
Chrysler 'police' wheels and caps would look sweet on it!
The factory 'optional' quad headlight front nose may still be available n.o.s. @ SASCO in South Bend. I was there last fall, and there were skids...
Man,that's one SOLID Studebaker! Where's it from?
How does one withdraw their 'membership',anyway?
I'm just an FNG on here, but it seems that if the 'Old School' H.A.M.B.'ers can't be a bit less rude and sarcastic to the newer guys,this board...

Ya,I can't believe there are people in SOUTH BEND who don't know an automobile was ever manufactured here. And if the CITY has their way,pretty...

Homer Fitterling once hadn an Elkhart. My grandpa used to work for him, and said it was one of two.
I hope this is the correct place! I'm from South Bend,In. and have been a Studebaker 'nut' ever since I found out they were made here. My dad...
@ noxided: Nice Stude! I said I was looking for stock cars,didn't I? lol This one looks to be about as 'stock' as they came!
