such a rare truck made more unique thanks to touches added by a hot
rodder and car enthusiast.� The Studebaker ½ Ton pickup 3R5 line
originally featured six cylinder engines, and were a bit more
'simple' than how this truck currently sits!� Under the curved hood
is a drivetrain pulled from a Silverado Pickup consisting of a 5.3
liter V8 mated to an automatic transmission.� A Mustang II front
end was utilized to help make the engine swap work. Disc brakes
have been added front and rear, and a Wilwood brake booster is
mounted under the hood.� This setup gives this Studebaker more than
enough power and a more laid back driving experience. The underside
of the truck is very clean with everything having been neatly
installed.� Widened steel wheels and trim rings paired with rear
coilovers give this truck an aggressive, raked stance. Inside the
cab, the factory bench seat has been replaced by a pair of bucket
seats, a modern stereo with a vintage look has been added, and a
Vintage Air A/C system was installed - a welcome feature for those
warm days!� Other interior features are tilt wheel, three point
seatbelts, AutoMeter Gauges, new headliner, and new carpeting.��
The exterior has been left pretty standard through the restoration
other than a few subtle changes.� When the Studebaker trucks left
the South Bend Indiana factory they came with a contrasting lighter
color grill, this truck has a body color matched grill giving the
truck a bit of a smoother look.� The rear bumper has been deleted,
and the tail lights and fuel filler have been neatly added to the
ends of the bed. A wood slat bed finishes off the clean, sleek look
of this unique Studebaker.� This awesome pickup is ready for a new
home, so why not be different and consider this Studebaker rather
than all the 50's Fords and Chevys out there.� Be sure to check out
