GRD, by threads, I assume you mean the places where the nuts (below, circled in red) for the control arm pivots screw into the control arms. From...
I like the black and gold two-tone version, but I would change the side trim to 1955 chevy Bel Air trim. Even if it is just air brushed on. [ATTACH]
A while back I bought a '55 Stude President sedan for the rear sway bar and the fog lights. It is still sitting in my yard. I just can't bear to...
I have done steel wheels with a wire wheel and/or a wire cup on a die grinder, then sprayed them with Rustoleum rusty metal primer and then finish...
Nice car, I would agree with much of what has already been said. If it loses too much power/compression, I would pull the head and just lap the...
I don't believe any of UK members have posted one of these. Napier Deltic. Opposed piston 2-stroke diesel. I discovered these watching youtube....
Ken, you could try the parts peddler. They have been around for a long time. I would probably try the Chelsea location. Dexter (734) 426-4688...
^^^damn, you beat me to it. I was just looking for that picture on my computer!
I can't tell you the composition of the new steel but I can tell you that it is considered "High-strength steel". It is very stiff compared to the...
My advice is similar to what has already been said. Keep the Stude front suspension and rebuild it with new bushings and a kingpin kit. I would...
Hey, nice truck. Long bed even. I would love to have one like it for a general use truck. Instead of spending money on a disc brake conversion,...
Studebakers thru 1955. However, I would recommend getting a marine battery box and putting a 12v battery in the trunk just to power the radio if...
I just sold this one. The new owner was quite pleased with the car and the deal I gave him. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
First, nice car. Second, I agree with most of what @gene-koning says about the frame clip. It doesn't look too awful from what I can see. I...
What water pump do you have in it. There different impeller depths out there. If you have the wrong one, or even over torque a standard pump, the...
Since we are talking about a Stude, I'm surprised nobody has suggested Avanti style traction bars. They do require welding a bracket to your axle...
A couple years ago while at the South Bend swap, I asked Ted Harbit what kind of oil system mods he recommended for stude V8s. He said basically,...
<edit> A while back, I made a run stand from the front section of a Studebaker Lark frame. I figured that way I could hook it all up with stock...
This one is similar to the car originaly posted. This could have been made by a coach builder back in the day.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As promised. I realize now that this one is a different car. I think this is the one made from a PT Cruiser. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I saw that car in South Bend a few years ago at the meet. I believe the back half is from a PT Cruiser. I have pictures of it at home, I will post...
I have re-plumbed two cars using Ni-Copp tube. I have found that the 3/16" tube bends real easy by hand or with a cheap bender. I have even bent...
bored at work this morning, so surfing craigslist for Studes, turns up this gem. It falls into the "not my cuppa" category for me, but it is...
That's what I was thinking. The fenders alone could fetch $8-1200 each.
`42 Not mine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Interesting, I was studying the pic of that trans. It appears to have a clutch pivot ball-stud on the bearing retainer. That would rule out...
That is a Borg-Warner T-96 three speed. W.G.DIV, stands for Warner Gear Division.They were used in Studebaker Champions (among others). That...
I will put in a good word for Clutch Dynamics in Lansing Michigan. I had them do a clutch, pressure plate and fly wheel for me. They did a great...
If you trust the seller and/or re-builder and the trans is what they say it is, then 1300 is probably not a bad price. Normally I would suggest...
