Would someone be so kind as to school me on Stude pick ups?
I'm looking for a parts hauler/tow vehicle (max 4500 pounds loaded trailer)and really like the 53 body style. I passed on the only one I've seen in person cause it was 80% hotrod and 20% truck. I'd like to reverse that. Maybe, Small block V8, power steering and brakes in a stock body. I'm clueless on the Champ/transtar/2R/3R designations?? Other than the power/steering/brakes are there any other issues? Frame too light, etc? Is there only one cab size?
[I nearly bought a 53 ford F100 that was setup perfectly, but next to the Stude, that is one ugly pickup).
It would really help to know what I'm looking for.
San antonio TX. 53 Champion Coupe, to be brought back from the dead.
"Of course it will fit, I have a torch"
