Since 1957 and 1958 Transtars are Serialized as the same 3E year code, owners may find this helpful, from the addendum added to my original Truck Parts Catalog from a dealer Parts Dept.
On the 3E's I have the "not in the book' starting Serial Numbers to tell if you have a '57 or '58. From the addendum:
"Studebaker 3E Series Trucks, new and unused starting with Serial numbers below are to be registered as 1958 models:"
E5 125401..................E13 2301
E6 16901..................E14 2801
E7 9801..................E16 45201
E11 13001..................E17 38401
E11D 13001..................E28 6201
E12 3601..................E38 11101
E12D 3601..................E40 1501
Sorry, I can't make the forum program accept my spaces, had to use periods and it still will not line up the columns. Sorry, I don't speak HTML!
These Trucks are just like the '49-'53 R Series, '63-'64 Trucks and '63-'64 Avantis, in that it is very difficult to determine the true Year Model.
