Hi i am new here have been born and raised around studebakers!!!! i have begun restoration on a 58 president 4 door, and have a few questions i need a rear fender extension (tailight housing) and a rear bumper does anyone know if they will work off of a 58 wagon i know where there is a wagon that is smashed in the front. also will the doors off of the wagon work on the sedan? lastly for right now does anyone know what thr backspacing is on the factory wheels mine has the wrong wheels on it. thanks much!!!! > Hi i am new here have been born and raised around studebakers!!!! > i have begun restoration on a 58 president 4 door, and have a few [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > anyone know what thr backspacing is on the factory wheels mine has the > wrong wheels on it. thanks much!!!! only question I can answer is the wheels, they are 14x5.5" with about 7/8" offset. I had a pair, but sold them a while back. If it had the optional 15" wheels they would be 15x5" with about 1-1/8" offset. (I think I got that right; if you look in the parts book there are so many darn wheels that I hope I was measuring the right ones!) nate  Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel SASCO had a lot of odd parts for those cars, you might want to try them. While I don't have a parts book covering a '58, I did get the striker plates off the back doors of a '57-58 Scotsman at Jack's Auto Ranch, in Watertown, WI. http://www.jacksautoranch.com/ The bumpers were there too. The wheels were still on a '58 Hawk when I was there last. Hopefully they are the correct 14". They had 3-4 dozen Studebakers in the yard, both cars and trucks. On a WI map look for Concord. An underpass on the west side of town will take you underneath I94. Then make a right turn, heading east a bit. Say HI to your parents. Chris, I may have some useable taillight housings and a decent rear bumper. I also have some lenses and odds and ends. Where are you located? George.

George. Just checked parts: bumper is good for 57 or 58, lenses and housings are only 57, one eye brow drivers chrome for 58. If you're interested? > Hi i am new here have been born and raised around studebakers!!!! > i have begun restoration on a 58 president 4 door, and have a few [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > anyone know what thr backspacing is on the factory wheels mine has the > wrong wheels on it. thanks much!!!! As for the doors I think you will find the tops have more height on the wagon.the sedan roof slopes down and wagons continue straight to the back for head room. |
