1924 Studebaker Truck

I'm looking at buying a 1924 Studebaker truck.. The body is in great condition, needs a paint job.. the floor boards and side boards need to be replace (I presume were originally wood?) This truck was supposedly special ordered for funerals... it's a second owner... runs good... What is it worth? They've asked me to make an offer...
Thanks!

Steve,
Maybe someone's sent you a private E-mail with an answer - maybe not. Thing is, most of the attendees of this forum know postWWII Studes. There's just no experience here with '24s of any sort to draw from. Especially as regards commercial vehicles like this hearse.
I think I'd be reviewing comparable vehicles on ebay, not JUST Studes. I'd be willing to bet that there's never been a '24 Stude Hearse OR truck for that matter, but there might have been other makes of that era.

Wrong, Mr. Biggs!! Stude did not make commercial vehicles themselves between 1917-27, but they did supply chassis' to outside manufacturers for speciality bodies like hearses, ambulances and paddy wagons. Steve, I would look for a body builders tag on it. If it has one, that would indicate it is not a "homebuilt" and will substantially increase it's value. Putting a value on speciality bodies is difficult, though. I really don't know what to suggest.
Anyone else?

I believe that Terry is saying the Studebaker did not factory build a truck, but rather supplied chassis units upon which various commercial bodies were placed.

And I believe Mr. Biggs was suggesting there has probably not been a comparable Stude on Ebay for comparison.

This is an interesting discussion as the AACA Museum was just given a completely restored 1924 Garford Truck by the Penske Organization. It is my understanding that Studebaker owned Garford at this time so could it be they were building the trucks for Studebaker?

See you in the future as I write about our past
