51 pickup items on the fire wall

[Ray Stewart]

I now have the 1951 cab anchored to the frame and have started installing the wire harness. Looked at both manuals and found nothing as to where items mount on the firewall. Yes, I could sort & sift...but one good picture would make it a lot easier. Does anyone have a picture or drawing of how it is supposed to be? I have a title and ID tags that states 1951 however I know the hood and grill is 1956 (I think). The system is 12 volt but there are no resistors or devises which would indicate it was converted from 6 volt...easy enough to have just changed everything over from a donor truck I suppose. Any help would be welcome.

Ray,
Go over to the Studebaker Truck Talk site. Do a search for an underhood pic and you should find something. Many truck guys there with mucho knowledge to help as well.

Those whipped creme and margarine tubs make great places to store all the nuts and bolts, etc. that are removed during the rebuilding process. Keeps everything that goes together in the same tub. Plus they all have lids! Perfect solution for CASO's and us old farts whose memories don't work so good anymore.
