Last year one of our members, James Stevens, bought a low mileage, but somewhat well used Scotsman pickup. I posted a few pictures on here at that time, but I can't find the post. Anyway, since that time Jimmy has been knocking dents out of the fenders, repairing brakes, and ...you know the drill. The truck isn't ready for a show, but the Commander six purrs and the truck looks much better. Our club had an outing today and Joe and I traveled the 70 miles each way with Jimmy and his son. The truck did great and ran faster on the highway than we had expected. Here are a few before and after pictures.

Turns out the rear gears are 3:73s. We were expecting 4:11s. He is thinking about a T5 5 speed transmission for the overdrive."In the heart of Arkansas."

I can assure you that, before he is done, it will be very nice. Interestingly, he planned to put a Studebaker V-8 in the truck, but the big six runs so smooth he changed his mind for now.Joe Roberts

Jimmy has been watching my brother drive his Transtar with the T-5 for a few years now and he is a believer. I am tempted to put one in my 52 Commander, but I really like rowing the column shifter."In the heart of Arkansas."
