I am all for saving every Studebaker possible, but this one was too far gone and the builder didn't help it. Now he is trying to unload it.

Wow!

There's a whole lot there to love! NOT!

I do like the glove box door though.

Boy, doesn't that break your heart? I'm all for a good 'rod project, but I don't think this one would survive transport to a new owner's home. Are those wood planks on the rear axle supporting the frame? Yikes!

Given that most of this project came from a Ford Ranger, maybe the owner would have been more wise to fabricate a body to put on an existing whole Ranger without hacking both of these vehicles to bits.

Oh well, his car, his money. If it makes him happy, good for him.

This is what makes you feel soooo much better about the project car/truck you own.

His ebay name should tell you something :-)

I like the rear wheels. They work well on a Stude.

the truck looks terrible. the gap between the box and cab boggles my mind... and being into air ride set ups for many years this one looks like a hack job.. if he can get $2500 for this ill throw my commander up for $5000 and have him sell it..

Those are Mopar Cop Car Wheels (15"). A decent set of four will set you back about $300. More if you want the drilled, dog dish hub caps. There was a time when they couldn't be given away. Now nothing is cheap. BTW, I have a set on my '73 Valiant..., but I didn't pay any where near that going price.
