Front Axle / Front Suspension: 1956 1/2 ton Transtar Front End

[Dale Petrie]

Hello
My Transtar is in winter storage, and I don't have a Studebaker Manual for it.
I would like to know a few measurements for the 56 1/2 ton Transtar front axle
Can anyone tell me the following measurement ?
1 Front hub to hub face ?
2 Front tire track width ?
3 Frame rail measurement directly above the front axle
Thanks in advance
Dale

If I remember correctly, the Studebaker Truck Talk site's discussion database should have this info somewhere.

From shop manual.
Front wheel tread: 60 13/16"
Width of frame, front: 28 1/32"

The truck data book has some data, but not exactly what you wanted.
Width over (outer face) rear hubs: 71 1/8"
Width over rear tires (assume outer edge): 69"
