Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2004EBay is educational for new Studebaker information
Gee, I learn something every day: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6466&item=2457 570111 Was the 4 cyl engine a prototype with the diesel? What about the wankel rotary prototype? This could be another rare Studebaker. All you Florida guys can jump right on this one. Bob Miles Tucson AZ Hmmmm... This one could be trouble... From the looks of the scrub trees in the background, this could be right on the inter-coastal... From the haze on the glass and the rust runoff under the fog lights I kind of feel like it may be a top rust candidate. Depends on how long it has been setting there... Also look at the bed droop....Something doesn't look quite 'true'. Maybe the bed it straight and the cab is misaligned ( a reason the hood is open?) (dunno) Questions to seller should be many...

The only trucks with 4 bangers(post WWII) were the big trucks with GM 4-71's. Last year it had a stake bed on it. The photo album doesnt work or they only have one picture of it. They also have NOT replied to email I sent them.(Out of curiosity, I have too many trucks as it is.<G>) > Truck is in the Daytona area. It had a 4 banger (what for lunch). It should > go cheap! [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >>>Bob Miles >>>Tucson AZ OK, all you fellow STDs (NOT what you think regarding medical maladys; I mean Studebaker Truck Detectives!) Regarding this Champ listing: If the photo album works, you can see 10 photos of this truck. Look real carefully at all of them if you can access them. Is it possible that this truck's cab and bed have already been mounted on an S-10 chassis? That would account for quite a few oddities: the rear wheel track versus bed position, the unusual suspended pedals, possibly some shady details in the chassis that don't seem quite right (from what you can see; not much, I agree). Finally, it would account for the ACCURACY of the "4-banger" having been removed and replaced with a 307! (as in Chevrolet). Just a thought. (BTW: Jeff has a good point about location: New Smyrna Beach is "coastal." I have a friend who visits mutual friends in New Smyrna Beach and has spent time junk-yarding at an old yard there. He says everything that has been in that yard more than ten years is rusted on top paper-thin from the salt air!) Back to S-10 chassis research... (Or, since the wheel covers are late-model MoPar, maybe it has been mounted on an older Dodge Dakota short-bed chassis??) BP Jeff Rice wrote in message: > > Hmmmm... > > This one could be trouble...

Now that I look at it, the front bumper seems WAY too high for a stock Champ Truck too. >OK, all you fellow STDs (NOT what you think regarding medical maladys; >I mean Studebaker Truck Detectives!)

BP maybe onto sumptin! > Hmmmmmmmmmm!!! Good observation Bob! Now that I look at it, the > front bumper seems WAY too high for a stock Champ Truck too. snip BP At first the wheels do appear to set in but it could just be the camera angle. The "dodge" bed doesnt fit or look right anyway.(But I still own three or four). I see that no obvious provision for controling the automatic tranny has been made. The only suspended pedal I can see is the accelerator. But you can see the plate on the floor where the originals came thru. The listing calls it a stake bed truck. The description of the truck and the sellers ebay same seem to be the same as one on ebay last year in NY or Penn. Just because a Champ body does not seem to sit right on the chassis, is an indicator the Stude chassis is still there.
