Back in the day my dad put 55 Ford swing pedals in for the brake and hydraulic clutch. He used a 55 Ford master cyl. and a clutch master & slave from a 53 GMC pickup truck along with a 53 V-8 Buick std. bell housing. A 401 Buick Nail Head w/ Tri-Power, 37 La Salle 3 speed top loader and a 55 Chevy station wagon rear assy. For its time it was pretty damn fast and that Stude suspension and steering made it handle quite well and stick to the road.

When I was a kid, my father owned the junk yard. He had a service station and a towing business so there were always new cars coming in to check out.Tom Senecal Not enough money or years to build all of the Studebakers that I think I can.Comment
