Build story
I wanted a truck. Only Studebaker would do. My wife bought this truck for me for Father’s Day a few years back. Engine and transmission had already been done by the previous owner. I did the rest slowly over time to make it nicer as a daily driver.
It’s loud and rowdy. I hit the big mods. Kinda too many to list. You ever find stock Studebaker parts at your local parts house?
