I wonder if that first Scotsman endangered other drivers on the road being that it's operator had to look through all of that writing on the windshield....[8D]

From the looks of the front body panels and that big gap where the left side of the hood was supposed to meet the fender "fit and finish" was not standard!

Look how narrow the tires were back then. How things have changed.

Questions came in another post a few days ago asking if Studebaker often used yellow paint. They did. I like.

In an age where you can buy a $40K silverado, I think we could use something like this today.

Is that a Transtar dually in the middle?

I just love those wood factory floors. I spoke with a gentleman last year at the Mid Tennessee meet who installed some of those floors and he described to me the process. Maybe my new shop will inspire me to try one.

Them old wood factory floors were usualy 8x8x8 inch blocks stood on end. They sucked up noise, could be sanded many times, and properly maintained kept dust to a minimum. My two cents worth..........

I actually snagged some of these during the Foundry tour. I had never seen anything like it before.

So, is that a manual locking hub sticking out beyond the front wheel on the second truck?

Those all look like 2 wheel drive, way too low and too small a hub to be 4 X 4, that is how a 1/2 ton Truck hub looks without a hubcap. [^]

The second truck wasn't ordered with hub caps. CASO
