41 studebaker truck ????

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by john mullen, Jan 2, 2012.

  1. Getting ready to put the headlight assemblys back on the fender of my m5 stude truck. I need to know if there was a gasket between the assembly and the fender . It was apart when I got the truck so I dont know what was there . Any Help????

  3. Yeah, it fits so close that there isn't much room for one. I just want to make sure before installing them paint to paint. Thanks guys I'll check out the stude site also.

    Really digging the color. Almost looks like bare metal.
    Someday I'd like to do a project in silver.
    Anyway if you haven't already, check out the Studebaker forums.

    Awesome looking truck.Wishin' mine was that clean.
    I've seen over 50 M5 Studes and have never seen any paint gaskets lightbuckets-to-fenders.
    Come to think of it,not many guys run fender welt on them either?

    Yea, always a gasket between the pot and fender. Stops rain and mud from leaking out on the paint
     
  7. TDITS, candy base coat silver with clear coat. Looks good except up realy close ,its like a mirror and shows every flaw .But I still like it.

    Find you some thin vinyl with cloth backing, like the web on fender welting and put one layer between it. You'll be sorry if you don't.

    The M5 did not have a gasket between the fender and the cowl, although I have seen many restorations where people added that because they like the way it looks.
