Then I went through two computers and lost this place. Got so busy making money digging holes for people I did not have much time for anything else last year. The Toyota T cab still isnt finished but with two good weekends it will be but at least now I have a pile of money to draw from to get it driveable. > I guess this place is dead what happened.....Yes I have been gone but > when you buy a sixty year old crawler and a seventy year old tractor [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > but at least now I have a pile of money to draw from to get it > driveable. Toyota eh? I sort of have had my eye on an old '59 Lark two door six that I would like to convert to a Toyota drive train probably from something like a rear wheel drive Celica or such. Tough, economical engines with plenty of zip. That's item # 2492a on the "to do" list if I last that long... JT Go to a wrecking yard and take a look at donor vehicles.......not much to choose from any more and putting a chipped engine in a Stude......just the meantion makes my head ache. I got lucky fifteen years ago with the wagon and found a Camero with an inline that just had minor damage so I could start the engine and listen to it. Toyota stayed with a mass of vaccume lines to get stuff done for years after the big three went to chips so it is easy enough to just use the minimum vaccume circuits. With the way fuel is I am starting to wonder if I will ever get the engine rebuilt in my other T cab and then ther is the cost....two grand for an engine in a beater T cab..with rebuilt brakes and delrin spring eye inserts and a rebuilt Dana 44......if only the body was not so bad.......but then I have an extra bed and the fenders rust out anyhow..... > I guess this place is dead what happened.....Yes I have been gone but > when you buy a sixty year old crawler and a seventy year old tractor [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > but at least now I have a pile of money to draw from to get it > driveable. Toyota T-cab? Toyobaker? Studeyota? DGH Ya, I'm here, trying to learn a scratch pad so I can see if I can work it as easily as a mouse. Sowly catching on. My first laptop. I think that I made a deal involving my ;64 Commander today. That will get me out of Studebaker cars, but condtions say it makes sense. The meeting at the museum gives me hope that there will be improvements - one possibility being my Commander, once it's restored.We've a beautiful '37 convert hot rod there right now - looks great. I don't know what model it was to start. Karl. Hey Karl, It's illegal for you to not have a Studebaker <g>. Paul Johnson On Mar 9, 5:13 pm, "So. Ga.

I am working on getting my '57 Packard wagon running. It's all done, just a MINOR fuel issue. I have either a bad fuel pump or something wrong in the carb. Hopefully I will get it on the road soon. I can't wait! Chip Signature-------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- Usenet Newsgroup Service $9.95/Month 30GB I'm still here, but I only post occasionally.

Perhaps then it will get the care and attenrtion it needs. When the car is in place, the space between storage cabinets and file caBINETS ON THE OTHER SIDE IS ABOUT 18" THAN THE CAR - NOT COUNTING MIRRORS, WHICH DO NOT ENTER INTO THE PROBLEM, Opps, sorry didn't notice I wejt to all caps. Karl I am lurking nearly every day. Hank 50 Champion Suicide Sedan I'm here and check in often. The forum seems to be dominated by several who think that the more posts you have, the greater your knowledge... Lately I havn't had much time for either the forum or this newsgroup...been kind of busy. BTW, to Gordon...I sent you an email about that 38 OD tranny...no reply..... Studebaker George PS while we are at it, I need a front apron (fits between the bumper brackets) for a 50 Champion. 51 probably the same also. I need one in decent shape. >I'm here and check in often.

I need one >in decent shape. George, Thanks for reminding me. I have mentally reserved that transmission for you, and I do plan to be at Cedar Rapids. I haven't taken it out of the car yet, since the weather has been kind of cold to be working on the ground under a car. Snowy, too. But by the time I get done with the current job I'm on, the weather should have moderated. Gord Richmond On Thu, 12 Mar 2009 04:57:26 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: >I'm here and check in often.

But doesn't the 50 use individual tubes that cover the bumper brackets?

Anyway, that's not my department, the body man get's that job. And he can make anything work with anything and look like it was meant to be. Jerry, email me and let me know what you need for it. BTW, might be in your neck 'o the woods sometime in the summer.

George I looked all over for the apron I thought I had but no luck I must have sold it and not remembered. If I do find it in all my junk or I mean rare parts Ill let you know. If you get out this way in the summer you should stop out.
