Hi Jon no I didn't look for it after some thought. But I did go to p&p friday and there it was a 56 long bed kind of beatup but good parts. The body has lots of small dings and dents but solid. The only rust through was in the floor on the passanger side. Sorry no pictures I'm trying but just don't get it so far. It's a v8 w/3sp/od I belive the trans is from a car it's a long tailshaft and has a 2 pice driveshaft. The bed is very solid with one bad dent between the cab and fender on the drivers side but not that bad overall. I did get the grill,frt bumper,turn signal housings and glove box door. P&P did tell me no sale for the whole truck that seems odd. The rear bumper is very cool barden type welded on, not sure how they handle that.

That V8 and three speed OD and truck water manifold and motormounts are probably wanted badly by someone wanting to put a V8 into their truck. Hope it gets saved.1953 Chev. 210 Convertible, 261 6cyl w/Offy dual intake (But I always did love Studebakers!)

You know I realy didn't look at the water pump very closely. And no it was a 2 piece driveshaft just like a c/k shaft kind of stuck in and what looks like a t86 long trans. The radiator was who knows not stude so I think it was a car motor trans swap. If I had more room and money I would unbolt cut out all I could but I don't.
