What a way to ruin your day

[lstude]

Oh man, I hate it when this happens...

The motor was rebuilt and the owner forgot to put oil in it. Do not know what damage was done to the motor.

I wonder how many years ago the "oops, forgot the oil" happened. Considering how the Lark next to it has sunk in the dirt, I'd say it's been several years.

I like that rear bumper! I've never seen one like it, it appears that someone took a stock Stude. factory rear and cut it in half adding a center section from a "step" bumper to it! [^] Unless it was a special order, step type Stude option that I've never seen! The engine looks like a '62 transplant with oil bath air cleaner, may be WCFB 4 barrel. []

Pretty neat! What's rarer Rich - a stock Stude truck rear bumper or a Lark-Hawk R-series harmonic balance???[}]

I'd rather have the wagon parked next to it I think. Beats me how you could go to the trouble and expense of rebuilding an engine then forget the oil [B)]

I had a buddy buy a new Txyxta 4x4 a few years back. He drove it off the dealer's lot and 10 miles down the road the engine turned into a glowing red lump. Prep guys didn't add the antifreeze when it came off the transporter.
