      41 Frank here on the forums is a supplier, and I get just about all my parts from him. Good service, and quick, too. (Of course he's local to me, so that does help.)

        Tony in Veazie,
        Welcome to the Forum!
        If you don't have contact with dozens of the most cooperative suppliers for Studes, methinks you may have not yet joined the Studebaker Drivers Club. One of the many functions of the largest marque club in the world is to see that we all have access to everything we need.
        It's one of our many secrets; don't let it out.

          I highly suggest going through Frank / Howards Parts or some of the private parties on this forum. My count is now at three (over the years) with the larger ones sending me the wrong parts. They have a good selection of parts, but calling, returning, waiting for the correct part....all takes time. Best option is to go to the Natl Meet and work with vendors in advance to bring the parts.

            I have bought quite a few things from Studebaker International and they are always prompt at getting back to me for quotes or locating hard-to-find parts and shipping has always been very quick.

              While not directly Stude related.....

              I just did a 'fix list' of items needed for The Yellow POS....
              Most of the stuff was standard automotive fare (as most of what was leaking/broken was Chevy/Ford stuff)

              Bit... I had a list, I was real busy, so I shopped online.
              Someone here mentioned Rock Auto, so I looked there.
              Prices were...ok. But there was shipping.

              So I looked at OReilly's.
              Prices were OK...But there was shipping.

              Looked at AutoZone.
              Prices were OK.
              Even had a discount if the order was over $100
              But there was shipping.

              Looked at Advance Auto Parts.
              Prices were OK. (and I could return the core to any Advance Auto Parts store)
              Found a discount coupon that gave a break on orders over $100...And gave me a $25 gift card (sent after May 31st.
              And there was free shipping.

              Placed my order online with Advance Auto Parts last Sunday night.
              Parts arrived Wednesday and Thursday.
              Happy buyer.

                Welcome too.

                This post does beg the question, "What parts are you trying to locate?"

                Rare parts, possibly an issue, generic stuff not much problem. I think we are a bit "data challenged" to make anything but guesses.

                      I can't think of one part on my 61 Hawk that wasn't at my door in less than 1 week after ordering. That's every thing on the car,from the front grilles to the tail pipes. Oops,yeah- seat covers,made to order,took about 3 weeks.
