'49 Studebaker Pick-Up pulled from the field...Opinions on what may be salvageable ?

[COMMANDERPINK1]

The tailgate would make for nice wall art if truck is not salvaged.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Let me google that for you....

Gas tank! And the spring/mounting bolts. None rusty/leaky tank has value to a close buyer.

Wiper arms were mentioned. But you may try eBay for the mechanical arms and posts as well.

Im curious the serial number of the truck since 49 was the first year of this body style. Even that plate could be of some value to a project truck. (let's not get weighed down w legalease.)

Does your seat have a mechanical slide adjustment frame? Or does it sit solid within floorboad post holes?
Adjustable frames are less common and have value.

Chrome bumpers?
Rear bumper painted or chrome?

Did the truck come with a rear view mirror that mounted inside? Prob worth 80-100 for the right one.

And last try selling the sun visor bracket. Passenger side if you have it may be worth more that driver.

The seat is adjustable... no bumpers...there is a rear view mirror mounted inside...both sun visor brackets intact...

I'd say from the many posts you have parts with value, it's just a matter of how much time you are willing to commit to selling and marketing. Good luck.

Post a picture of the inside rear view mirror and I can tell you if it's the correct one.

Be advised, an interior rear view mirror can prove to be valuable. They weren't standard issue.

I need the driverws door latch if it's functional and not worn out.

I plan to head into the shop tomorrow and being the disassembling process..
