How-To & Tech

This is how I bought it. I hated the side pipes. It sayt too high and the motor setup was just shy of a hack job.

this is a pic of it on a trailer at it's previous owners place headed toward me.

Crappy stock suspension and steering didn't leave room for much of anything.

you can see what I did with the stock frontend. No more tight rails. No more obsolete parts.

General straight axle front. Currently with 7" drop axle. I have a straight axle that I'll stuff under there to raise it up as a gasser for awhile until I figure out my next move. I'm leaning toward an entire chassis swap to a dakota chassis.

Hey Trump, thanks for joining MyRideisMe.com. To find your parts, check with Greasegirl (member here and fellow Stude owner). She visited a Studebaker collector up in Eloy, NV I think. I bet that guy'd have what you need.

That's a unique hot rod you've got there.
Keep us updated on the progress.

I'm in need of a pair of 1939-1940 Studebaker running boards. I am also in need of the cowl vent mechanism. If you have any of these items and are willing to sell them, please let me know. Thanks.
