So is a 'STU-V' catalog Studebaker's version of Chrysler's 'Direct
Conncection','SRT' or Ford's 'SVO' high performance and racing
components catalog?

Oops, got an extra 'S' in there, did not notice that.
No, STU-V was a completely independent outfit, say like Avanti
Northwest, or Bottjer Performance. I do not recall the fellow's name
now, but he was out of National City, Cal. (just south of San Diego).
The STU-V name itself is rather old, originally it was an outfit dealing
in hop-up parts for '50's Stude's. The name reappeared with the Avanti
stuff in around 1971. My catalog is #2 and dates from 1972.
Studebaker's version of the Ford SVO catalog would be the Paxton
Products catalogue. Comparing the STU-V with the Paxton, some parts
look like exact copies. My, vague, recollection is that STU-V appeared
about the time Paxton was getting out of the Stude stuff. I think he
bought a lot of the surplus from Paxton.

Yes, that's it. I remembered the 'Chris' part, but just could not
remember his last name. I probably last talked to him in the mid '70's,
some 30 years ago now I guess. Dunno whatever happened to him or his
stock of parts.
