Studebaker Pick'em ups (Got one?)

I was visiting with my buddy who had gone hunting this weekend (bagged a 12 pointer he said), well long story short his Grandmother's land has a little tin on it and a Stude pickup was in the mix. Just thought how cool tat was and wondered how many of ya have one? They are so damn ugly, how could'nt they be cool?

​

 

Mine-

 

My father-in-law had one in his field, along with a 5-window Chevy or GMC. The Stude was in pretty good shape, the Chevy was just a cab and frame. When he moved he had a scrap guy come and haul them off. I couldn't believe it. He said "If you fixed up that Studebaker, all you'd have is an ugly truck." I said, "Not if *I* fixed it up!" Some people amaze me.

 

I've been draggin this studebaker around the country for years. (hope the attachment works)


But It never seems to make it to the top of my to do list.

I have a 429CJ that is earmarked for the stude but I'm currently doing a blown flatty AV8 as well as a 31 5 window to original.

The stude has been pushed back more than a few times as other projects came along.

Someday...............

moe...

 

I'm building a customer his 47 stude pu.
I'm looking for some pics of em.
Anyone have some good side shot pics?

Eh Moefuzz you wanna sell that merc pu?

Thanx guys......Shiny

 

That truck went to Langley a few months back.


I have lots of archived studebaker shots but they're all to large to post here.
If you shoot me your personnel email address I can send you some side shots of different studes in different stages.....

This belongs to a guy I work with... good running truck. It's a 47.

 

Moefuzz thanx bro stickshifts at shaw.ca

Philofab,thanx.Do you have more of his truck or can you ask him to email me a few pics?
I need some from the side if possible......Shiny

 

I have a 50 1/2 ton. They're fun trucks. I'm gonna do some weird things with the 6 on this one.

I'll have to get some pics tonight.

 

My 46. If someone would like to photo chop the 1&1/2" that's taped off on the cab shot, it would be much appreciated. I think were going to cut it today!

 

No pic's but I know a guy that is designing a kit for adapting a Ford areostar front clip. Stude trucks are cool. I'm finishing a 46' Hudson pick up this week.

Studebaker pickups were never ugly

here's buddy Ted's '37

 

I really dig on those Hudson trucks too. Terraplaners are beautiful, just like 60"s buddy's 37 Stude. I hope that the one my buddy found is a late 30's Stude too.

 

The early to middle 50's studes make really nice rods,There's a guy here on the Hamb(toymount i think) is building up a 50 stude maybe he'll post some pics. I think their styling was ahead of their time. I sure would like to build one someday. Gregg

 

Damn thats all?

 

Her yah go.

 

Don't know if you've been to the Stray Kat 500, this is one of my favorite kut studes. The frontend is a piece of work. It has been cut so many times but still has a stock look. I'm not in love with the color but it has some kool body lines. I would like to see the truck painted different color, Wide shites with some wide smooties on the rear. This is one of the trucks that I would like to own someday.


Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Thanks! We didn't get her cut today, but it's ready for tomorrow.

 

Shiny, that is UNKL Al's son Auggie's primered Stude. might be some photos on UNKL Al's Custom Emforium.com.............OLDBEET

 

I think I got this pic off of here, think it's a friend of a HAMBER or something. Cool, cool truck.

Here is a pic of my 50 Stude, It is now stripped apart in the garage awaiting sandblasting soon. Here are a couple of cool 50's trucks I love also

 

Tinbender, is your firewall recessed? If it is, could you snap a couple shots of it while the front end is off? Curious as to how people have done it.

 

Here is a pic of mine. Bill

 

I have more pics on the work computer.... we also have a 49+ stude I'm working on right now at the shop.

 

This is from Rat Fink Reunion.... it kept our tent from blowing away.
