A beautiful truck to be sure, but the period photo on the cover of the Dec. '83 TW shows the last truck on the line as being a Diesel.Bill Pressler

Maybe it is the last "Gas" powered truck off the line??? Regardless, wouldn't this be a great "fifth wheel" RV puller for someone retired with no need to hurry anywhere? (dreaming again!)John Clary

Anyone know the production date of this truck or the last diesel?Comment

Don't know those answers Jim, but I'd sure would like to know where Studebaker was assembling trucks in 1965 as the eBay ad would have one believe.Originally posted by Jim B PEI View Post

That's EXACTLY what I was wondering too, when in 1965. <ggg>Comment

Makes me wonder where it was assembled. South Bend plants 1 & 2 (main) or plant 3 & 4 (Chippewa) which was the truck only line by that time. Where ever it was built, man that's a nice truck! That's what a semi was supposed to look like, A TRUCK. Since this past winter riding in the "Sasco semi" I have taken a likeing to semi tractors. Can't afford one, no place to put it, and defionately can't fill the gas tank, but I like them!

The last truck was assembled in South Bend on Dec. 27, 1963. I'm thinking that only Champs were built at "South Bend Main", and that other trucks were built at Chippewa. Can anybody confirm?Bill Pressler

maybe that's where "1965" came from--confounding the 6X6 contract with 'regular' truck production.Comment
