I very rarely like a running gear transfer in a Stude. But this one is
not to bad. The main thing is the color choice and RIDE HEIGHT!! The
latter is what is almost always fubared in one of these conversions.
Also like the fact that they at least used MOpar instead of bowtie
too. I think it would be better with black paint instead of the
Herculiner lower half. This truck makes me wonder what the '57 would
look like with thiese colors. Interior is terrible though.

Yeah, the interior is about as bad as it gets, but I think the
exterior looks pretty good. Of course I'd rather see a Studebaker V8
in it, but for a conversion this one could have been really nice.
