Two Dakotas in my shop are one too many. The relationship with the red '04 didn't work out, so I went out and got a side chick (blue/green '94). Deconstruction to begin later this winter. Tracker needs to be running before I start the truck project.

Reply #18 - 10/01/22 at 08:18:56 I was just going back through this thread and saw Well, a 1300 mile round trip and $650 in diesel fuel and I got it home. Dude, that is Fitty Cents a Mile. Sheesh. You probably don't cruise the drag in that much.

True, but this Studebaker was a total emotional buy. Cost wasn't much of a factor, as it is a trip down memory lane. I have always been into two wheels as they were more affordable. Never got into V8 vehicles or hot rods. Now I get to build the hot rod I always wanted my first vehicle to be. I just assembled this today, since I am going to be doing two body swaps in the near future. Meet the new edition to my shop - Mr. Crane. Gantry Crane. I'll have mine lifted, not dropped....

Reply #20 - 10/01/22 at 21:44:00 That was not any kinda criticism about the old Studebaker. Just a recognition of the costs of stuff today. I'm happy about you getting it. I hope you hang onto everything you don't use. Someone might need those things.

Reply #22 - 10/05/22 at 12:24:14 Even though this is an newer Studebaker truck than my '52 ('58 Scotsman model), it is a good example of the stance I am shooting for. Mine will have bigger meats under it, especially in the rear.

Maybe a coyote motor , auto , a/c of course , same stance just a tad lower , something for a daily driver , coast to coast without thinking about.

I see two out of three vehicles without an engine. That is a problem. At least there is a finished long block hanging from the engine hoist! I got it at IKEA - some assembly required...
