Champ with 64-66 front end.

Found this on craigslist. I think it looks good. I bet it took a lot of work to build the cab.

I like the looks of the older bed on a champ truck but with the 64/65 front end it doesn't seem to fit as well. Not as many curved body lines and too many straight lines to blend. IMHO

Kinda cool though.

Oh-oh, Columbia SC. Was afraid of that........close enough to go look at. Really like the Champs with the '64 sheetmetal, but agree with Jon about the bed.

Very neat!

Looks like an automobile body turned into a truck cab. That's a tricky front clip to but on a Champ cab because the cowl/rear of the hood edges are different between cars and trucks.

I think I agree. My first thought was the doors and roof looked like sedan stuff instead of truck. Steve

Here's what it would look like with a fleet side bed... Just kidding. I always thought the 67 Chevys looked as though they had stolen the Stude design and used it for their own truck line. The resemblance is remarkable.

I think over in Austrailia they would go nuts over a cool UTE like this, you know they make them out of everything with wheels.

Updated Champ

'Course that Champ for sale reminded me of this one...

[candbstudebakers]

I did that to a 60 champ with an 8' fendered bed back in 1973 R-1 powered, 427.1 TT rear end and T85 3 speed with overdrive I called it my would-A-B , it might have looked like that if they had keep on building trucks, the doors look to be stock as the trim line from either type fenders follows right into the door. I had a slide in 8' camper and pulled a 25' house trailer to Minnesota in 1973 some of the older Minnesota member might remember seeing it as I took it to a Studebaker outing while there. The truck would Run at 65 mph in 2nd over pulling the trailer across the high desert in Wy. at about 2500 RPM good strong truck I might still have a few pictures of it here some place.

Was told that same story - by a friend who drove one of those Chevy Trucks

I saw this one for sale several years ago. Can't find the pictures of it now but it had a 66 grille and interior. Could have been built out of a 66 Cruiser or 4 door. It seemed to be well-made and thought out but the interior color had been changed to purple!

The '64 wide bed that Mark posted a photo of lives somewhere around the Portland, OR area. It was built using a '64 sedan or wagon cab.

That Champ is in Vancouver, WA. (at least a suburb of Portland, OR!)

Well, this one followed me home. Just have to name her and make a few cosmetic changes. More on this later along with some pictures.
