Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
My first car out of high school was a '61 Studebaker Lark VIII convertible. For what I got in trade-in money when I bought my '64 SS Malibu, I should have stored it in a barn. If we only knew. But I lived in a tract house, and the storage would have been more than the $122.50 I got as a trade-in.
Studebaker parts were already hard to find in '70. I worked for a Chevy dealer at the time, and not only were parts easy to find, I got them at 10% over cost, as an employee. Pretty sweet deal.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
The 300 6cyl was a good truck engine. That should be a huge improvement. probably make you want to unclunkerfy it
Hey Mark, sweet little red Daytona convertible. I wish I still had the '61 Champ I had

I need to change it the Hawk and Avanti to dual master cylinder brakes . The Hawk and Avanti I need to buy a complete kit as they never came with split brakes the 64-66 lark/commander's did have it factory. Even thought I did all the lines master and wheel cylinders it's still a little worrysome that something is going to blow and poof no brakes . Ebrake dont cut it

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
My champ was red originally. When I had it painted I went with yellow. Hey, it was the '70s and it was California. There are a few spots with pinstripe, California teardrops. The pictures are when it was freshly painted. I put 8" chrome smoothies on it. It had the 259/3spd + o/d

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Thanks for the info, Friends. I am looking forward to driving it again so I can keep some of the miles off the new-to-me '90 Sport that I bought back in May. It's up to almost 10K miles now......gotta let that young Sport rest a while!

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
My dad had a '78 F100 with a 6 cylinder in it. I remember driving it in the mid '80's.....I could make that thing peel out. Dad finally figured out why the push rod kept falling out and whooped my tail for it.

Pretty distinctive old Studebaker at the west entrance of Glacier National Park.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
The pics of the Travelall's reminds me of my '65 Dodge Town Wagon.
Town Wagons and Town Panels sold poorly (hundreds per year) and were quite crude in their construction. Yet, many of those have survived. (not mine)

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
I love those Town Wagons and Panels. I know a guy around here with a 4wd Town Wagon just like the one you showed, except it's still original paint. I assume that one isn't

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
A friend has one. It's a dually wrecker He's had a GMC General tow truck and now one of these. His other is a '71 Dodge D300 flatbed dually with a Cummins, 4spd, and another 4spd. That's what he hauls the Crosley on.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
Proud and strong. Looks like it was a camper hauler. They offered dual rear wheels from factory, but this one with converted using an aftermarket kit.
More D300 non-pickups

Don't know much about these Diamond T's, but sure are impressive looking. At a local car show here in Bigfork, MT last week.
