David,
As cool as the photo is, the reality is that that size and brand of tire has really only been produced for two or possibly three decades. I sure hope the owner installed some sort of power steering assist or else he will be the all time arm wrestling champion.

PS: Cool pic, especially for us Studebaker enthusiasts!

Also note there is a dog in the box. I once had a 53 in about the same condition always had my dog with me and she just loved the truck, I think she thought it was hers. I built my first house and carried all the materials in the truck it just wouldn't die. I had to take it through a motor vehicle inspection and all the required items were working properly but it looked so bad they had to reject it because the license plate was not attached in an "approved manner". I had it wired to the grill with neatly done copper wire, the inspector wanted bolts and nuts. When it was on the hoist two guys suspended themselves on the brake lines to see if they could break them, they didn't break but the license plate was a different thing.

Love it. The front bumper guards make it look like it has tusks.

The truck belongs to Greg Kiser.

David: How about a "M Series 4X4" String Title to match the content?

With tires that large, would a high-number differential and/or two transmissions in line (one permanently in low) be needed? I know that Stude trucks had low gearing, but even so . . . .
