Hello, I have a 1949 Studebaker 2R5. The previous owner was in the process of rebuilding a motor and transmission for this.
The engine included and apart, had all the machine work and rebuild kit included. The transmission sinks look new in the additional transmission as well.
The original engine and transmission was still in truck. It looks good except motor appears to be frozen. Not the end of the World, necessarily. He had rebuilt many Studebaker vehicles I am told.
I was also told that truck are not numbers matching and as long as the engine is correct for the vehicle/period, there is nothing to worry about as they cannot be matched or traced.
I was visiting with an old guy and he begged to differ. Who is right here?
Where are the number on the engine, transmission and chassis?
Thank you in advance,
LN
