Stude More Studebaker truck progress pics please! :)

But first Got a piece of "L" welded in today to brace up the rear frame horns. Also did some little things like removed some broken off bolts in the cab from removing the fenders. Pics of rear Also I picked up a th400 from a 64 Cadi that already had the adapter plate mounted to it for...

Diggin it! I'm really diggin this build! Can you post more pics and description of your process of building the new spring pads on the front axel for the flip to wind up with the exact same camber as the stock pads on the other side? I'm getting ready to do this same treatment on my 51...

I'm about ready to slap the bed, fenders and hood back on too just to look at it withits new newfound stance. Visualization keeps the motivation up as well. Thank you for all the positive feedback! It's motivating as well!

Thanks cycledog! I'm not sure what the grill insert that is frankensteined into the grill surround is from...Desoto, Nash, Buick...who knows, but it's growing on me like crazy, I'm sure I'm gonna clean up its install and rock it!

Finally... Finally got that build thread started I promised. Chek it out, http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?p=358235#post358235 Jason

Now to get the Cadi motor mocked up and motor mounts fabricated. Then pull the cab and send it off to be sandblasted and POR 15 the frame.. Then I need to tear the motor down and evaluate how much of a rebuild it needs...that's where I'm at now. Let the flogging begin! Lol! :D

Ok rearend is back from being freshened up. Open Olds 9.3" with 3.23 cruisin gears. Boxing templates... New rims and tire mounted and installed...$70 craigslist score! Nice and low now! Boxing plates burned in...slow progress but gettin there. [/IMG] Gas tank boiled and welded to fix...

A my goal with this build is to build a super clean 50's style gentleman's hot rod. Kinda east coast style if you will. Get it low, red or chrome steelies, with 3" wide whites, satin white paint, and some old skool black and red pinstriping kept to a minimum. With a few custom touches, frenched...

Okay, so here goes, my first build start to finish in my two car garage. Please help with any and all constructive criticism. So this truck was my wife's cousins back since the 70's it was hot rodded thru the 50's 60's and 70's. then it was parked. Luckily it lived its life in the central...

Soon. Build thread coming soon...changed plans with motor...picked up a '59 Cadi 390 for it. Very fifties vibe to it p, should look great in there ;)

Wow You are doing a fine job young man keep up the good work! Motor sounds perfect...[dr

Sleeper, yes. ;) The truck IS a very solid survivor. Gotta love the arid central California climate. I'm excited about the build. Should be fun. I'm not sure what the grill is made from...it's definitely the studebaker grill surround, but somebody frankensteined in what looks to be late 40's...

Hi all. I've been lurking here for a few months. Finally getting around to introducing my self and my 51 Stude pickup. The design plan is to lower it using the parts god gave it. Then treat it to a fresh white paint job with red steelies, and some wide whites, and maybe throw in a little red and...
