I had luck getting an adjustible one (you modify the arm length and depth to fit your tank) from a marine catalog, pretty cheap, works great. I...
Here's how you do it: Step 1 - Find a Studebaker owner. Step 2 - Ask him/her what CASO stands for! (it's applicable to every Studebaker owner I...
I have a Studebaker (6 cyl.) flathead with DUAL Flowmasters! I made the split headers out of two old exhaust manifolds, and they are 3 + 3 all...
I feel your pain! I had to leave a project car outside uncovered for years, too, however in Las Vegas it only rains about every 3rd lifetime......
Every time a Studebaker gets crushed, a small part of me dies... Thank goodness it was found. Did the thief get another bullet in exchange?
It's part of the new bail-out plan. Everybody gets one...
My 51 Stude has 3 on the tree w/ Overdrive. Borg-Warner T-96, it's a great tranny used in several other makes also.
FWIW, a '68 Toranado front seat works perfectly in a '51 Studebaker! It even has 6-way power. I know most of you will want to remember this......
Mine looks great now, originally full of cracks and dings. I filed out all the crackes to make them bigger, then got the 2-part epoxy/magic stuff...
A week or so ago I started a thread about needing something to extend my floor-mounted starter button, since I had added Dynamat, Dynaliner, and...
Someone found this and posted it onthe Studebaker forum, I thought I would pass it on.... http://englishrussia.com/?p=311
It COULD be a hot rod... I'm just sayin.
Thanks again to everyone who responded, and especially Brian. The amount of helpful info on this forum and the deeds to match are awesome.
Brian, 1/2" extension would be perfect - any more than that would possibly interfere with clutch operation. I PM'd my address but you'll need to...
Wow, Brian, very generous. The OD of the " mushroom cap" of the switch is 0.875 (7/8"), and is 0.375 (3/8") deep. Basically, it is a standard...
OK, let's not start with the cheap shots... My 51 Champion has a foot-button starter, just behind the clutch pedal. I made and installed some...
Gotta check out this thread... best headliner tech I've ever seen, and I did something similar for my Stude. I never could have done it myself...
ROTFLMAO!!! Thanks for all the official names of these things!! The reason I originally asked the question is that I am seeing more of them at...
What do you call those metal panels that I 've seen so much of lately... they are under the hood and basically hide the engine, everything but the...
I would suggest saw-cutting the required footing area (24"x 24" or larger, based on mfg. recommendations?), repairing/re-routing the radiant...
I'm looking for suggestions/ideas for covering wire looms and harnesses under the hood. I've seen plenty of the stuff they call "convoluted...
Ok, probably not a stupid question, just a stupid questioner... I've got a Delco 12SI alternator in my Studebaker (converted to 12V). Now...
Juliano's also has good color assortment of period-correct latches, decent prices.
Chop it, shave it, channel it, section it, deck it, nose it, then hide it!
Sorry, Len, I missed the part about it being a back seat "late model"... I was thinking along the lines of the front bench seats I see at the...
No problem, have at it... besides, I was just lookin' for an excuse to make a reference to a fat-ass van driver...
The same contact cement you are using for all your upholstery will work (apply, wait for it to dry, then place pieces together -one chance is all...
Looks great - I think it's better to have something unique that has some mystery to it. Make up your own story, or let them keep guessing.
Sorry if this sounds like an ignorant question (I don't know much about Ford trucks) - Is that grill original? That is one great looking grill in...
Perlite or vermiculite, get it at a nursery. It is like little balls of styrofoam, but organic. It's used for mixing with potting soil to help...
