I had been thinking of joining them since I'm already a national member. We had pizza and saw some people I knew there. We watched some cool old videos transferred from 16mm to DVDs To preserve the originals. I learned Studebaker did a lot more than build odd, but cool cars. They did military applications like the weasel, worked in aerospace heat shielding, Clarke flooring machines, Gravely lawn equipment and even imported Mercedes Benz.Last edited by Topper2011; 02-09-2020, 11:03 AM.

Hose protection installed. These actually have grooves installed for cable ties. Pretty cool and the price was right."In the heart of Arkansas."

Is that the lower hose laying against the front crossmember?
On our '53 the crossmember has a factory dent in it for lower hose clearance, my '62 has that same dent, but it's about 4" too close to center to be of any help with the '62 lower hose. The stock '62 radiator outlet was high enough to just clear the crossmember but it was lower on my aluminum radiator too.
Here's what I did: I fixed it just as the factory did for the '53. My radiator hose now runs through the new dent and my transmission cooler lines run through the factory one.
