This is the first I am hearing about a Van version being built!
In 1966 when my Cousin and I toured the Plant 8 Parts Warehouse, I sat in that Truck that was part of the Stude. Corp. Vehicle Collection stored there, and could not help but notice the Tag on the Steering Wheel that said: "DO NOT DRIVE! Steering components welded."
I guess it would make a good Drag racer!StudeRich

There was a another similar Studebaker version for 1963-1964. It was also a cab forward pickup, but the windshield sloped back, not forward. Studebaker had a quarter scale model of this truck that, last that I knew, was owned by Asa Hall. I do not know who owns the model now.Gary L.

I am curious as to why the windshield was sloped forwardThe only difference between death and taxes is that death does not grow worse every time Congress convenes. - Will Rogers

No Rich, NOT the steering wheel tag of which you mentioned before: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...udebaker-Truck
I was nowhere near Plant 8 in 1966, therefore I can't confirm what you saw.
We are referring to the drawing of the Van prototype shown in the February, 1983 Turning Wheels with the Westinghouse name and logos on it.

Those folks who have visited the Stude Nat'l Museum have seen one of these truck designs on the lower level of the museum. It's very impressive. I'm disappointed that it never came to fruition.
