Interesting Studebaker themed panel truck.

Joe and I spent most of two days in Springfield, MO last week at the big swap meet on the Ozark Empire fairgrounds. Not a lot of Studebakers if you don't count the Ozark Trails chapter's space, but all sorts of car related stuff. One of the vehicles spotted was this Dodge Dakota based conversion.

You sure that's not a hhr?

Not enough Studebaker in there.

I know this car well it is definitely started as a Dodge Durango.

Nice concept. I would prefer the taillights mounted higher for safety-like WAGONAIRE- up higher. I'm sure it could be done . Nice job however.

I'll take it just like it is. I would prefer more windows, but I would want it fo rmy grandchildren to ride around in. I owned a Studemino, but I like this better.

Stude front and Dodge rear end.... unheard of.....

Different by.. design? Personally it would have been better with the clip tilted down another 2-5 degrees. But hell, I have enough difficulty making stock look right.

i could deal with that. but i'd have to do something about the rake, and add more "shiny stuff", starting with the door handles.

You sure it was a Durango? I didn't poke my head in because the owner was not there, but I thought I could see part of the back of the cab.

Perhaps a Dakota? I see now it really does not resemble the HHR after looking again. The rear doors look like something factory....perhaps a Dodge carryall?

When I asked my brother he confirmed seeing the back of the cab. We both thought it was a Dakota. Definitely a Dodge.

The back panel is too upright to complement the front, imo. I'd think a more arched roof to tail line would be much more attractive with that front end. More like a 50s Ford Panel body line.

I meant to say Dakota, I own a Durango and I always say the wrong one.
