questions.. E5 PU doors? what fits other than PU.. Which car? these are gutted and it would probably be simpler to get a junk car that has all the internal door stuff, than get pieces to replace all these thats missing Front end- any 'other than' Stude parts give the front wheels disk brakes? and leaving the axle thats there present? the wheel bearing part is what I am wanting to change-got a bad king pin so its got to come out anyway. OR what complete axle assembly off what would give more modern brakes? rear end will be replaced.. as its the tapered axle assembly. --Shiva-- ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** The doors are truck-only. And really, there isn't that much to them. Call Jim Turner for the disc brake setup. I wouldn't worry with the tapered axles in a truck. I've heard of a few cars that broke an axle, but never a truck. And they seem to have had rougher lives than cars, too. Matthew >Call Jim Turner for the disc brake setup.

Instead of 4.27 gears, I have 3.53's. Matthew >On my '59 PU, we took the 'guts' out of a '60 Hawk differential, and >put them in the truck housing.

No car doors, hoods, or fenders on it. The truck rear axle may be tapered but it has larger bearings and shafts. I have never heard of a truck Dana 44 breaking an axle. Ask Lester Schmidt, I think he lives down your way somewhere. Or go to the Studebaker truck page. > http://www.network54.com/Forum/23885/ He has or had the million plus mile Transtar 1/2 ton. > questions.. E5 PU > doors? what fits other than PU.. Which car?
