1959 Scotsman Pickup

Did the Scotsman model have the cutout for the spare tire on the passenger fender?

They could have been ordered that way. There were Scotsman trucks that were deluxe models. I had a 59 with V8 fiberglass grill 4spd. Curb mount tire rear fender. Had a few other options as well it was basically a transtar but technicaly a Scotty.

The fender mount spare was standard with four wheel drive and an option on other pickups at a cost of $20.18.
In 1959, there were Scotsman, Standard and Deluxe models. There were NO Transtar pickups.
The Deluxe grille package including the fiberglass grille + was a $37.66 option.

EDIT: I have owned two 1959 pickups with the Deluxe Grille Package.

/Cut/There were NO Transtar pickups.

Just for clarity, I think it should be mentioned that the top of the '59 Truck line Trucks were not actually eliminated, as might be construed from this statement, just re-named from "Transtar" to "Studebaker".

Which in my opinion was a really stupid decision which was corrected in 1960.
WHAT could they possibly have been thinking?

Would I be correct in assuming that if you didn't like the spare tire cut out in the rear fender, that fender could be replaced with a regular fender? Still haven't decided if I like that look or not. Would the 2R box fenders fit a '59?

Most Scotsman Trucks had the spare bolted to the front of the bed, I believe the extra cost options were the Standard Rear under bed mount like a '59 "Studebaker" Truck, or the left or right rear fender mount.

Yes all P1 Beds have the same Fenders.
