Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I like the look of this truck conversion and would love to see more pictures and get more info on it. It has appeared in the North Central Zone Meet ad in TW for the last several issues. Any help would be appreciated! (And I apologize for the poor quality.)

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like someone customized a fairly recent Dodge Ram to look like a Studebaker.
Finding/reading the ad for the meet brings an old question to my mind. Why do meet advertisers often fail to mention where the meet is being held? I read the ad a few times and it appears to be in Western Colorado, but in what town is the hotel? Is one supposed to ask the hotel when making reservations?Last edited by RadioRoy; 03-31-2019, 11:48 AM.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player.

I believe Roy is correct.
Back in 1993, when the redesigned '94 Dodge trucks first appeared, we all pretty much agreed they were already an echo of the Studebaker Transtars.
It appears someone took that seriously.Brad Johnson,
