I have a 53 coupe that has rusted bottoms of rear quarters. I can get 55 hawk coupe rear fenders. Will the bottoms of them work for the 53 as a patch?

Yes they are the same. Why not just use the '55 quarters, they bolt on.Frank van Doorn

Either that, or you can get new ones from Goodmark industries. Or the whole fender can be changed from the 55 donor car. (no Hawks until 56 btw). The fenders just bolt on, unless someone has welded them on.Last edited by bezhawk; 10-04-2016, 04:20 AM.Bez Auto Alchemy

Still new to the Studebaker and Hawks. I was going off what he said about hawk. I can get the complete rear fenders. If just bolt on that would work. They are local. Will the fronts works as well? He may part with those.

In addition to what Ed said, the inner portion of the 55 air deflector is a bit more bulky than 53,54 and would need a bit of work - fairly easy to do.
Originally posted by SN-60 View PostFront fenders are the same, although you'll probably have to fill a few holes at the lower front edge which are drilled for the large '55 L&R parking lamp housings....Inner fender skirts should also be the same '53-'55 C/K.Joseph R. Zeiger
