For Sale: 1949 Studebaker Pickup in Cadillac, Michigan

1949 Studebaker Antique. I have been working on this old Studebaker truck project for the last few years through a builder. The main picture in this ad is the concept drawing for the build. My focus has been to enhance, and hopefully improve upon, the original designers efforts, along with updating the suspension and drivetrain to modern standards. The engine is a 2017 Ford Coyote, double overhead cam, 5.0 liter V-8. The automatic transmission is the matching 6 speed 6R80 from a donor truck with 8,500 original miles. The new front suspension is an air-bagged IFS unit from Fatman Fabrications. The rear suspension is a triangulated 4-bar with a newly rebuilt 1996 Ford Explorer 8.8 inch, 31 spline, 3.73:1 differential. The bed has been highly customized by grafting in the rear section from a 1954 Buick sedan. This truck also has a has a very handsome dash from a '55-'57 Chevrolet truck, shortened and installed. This truck will be an award winner when completed.
