[@armandogarciajr1478]

I am very impressed with you build, this is what car people want to see. The way you use your skills to rebuild and reuse things with out just throwing money at it is what real car guys love to see. Keep up the great work.

[@redneckpyromania6965]

Grenade Motorsports loved the video man saw the title and i had to watch! dogs were great too 😂

[@ONEFUNFONE]

Thank you for not making another clunkerbaker- leave that chevy junk in the junkyard where it belongs. Liked, subbed- can't wait to see more on this hemi project! I would of ran the stock column and gauges, kept it stock inside and out as much as possible with the modern goodies.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

You're right 100%! Thanks so much for watching!

[@slit4659]

A guy I know had one of these 50 Studebaker Trucks he inherited and wanted to HOT ROD IT...Why I'm not sure....I'm a Retired 342 Steamfitter Welder (Pipe fitter)....So you know who would be doing all the work..Changing the Front End, Making new Brackets....Welding new EVERYTHING....So I talked him into getting something he always wanted and he got a 1974.. (I'm not sure of the year)....AVANTI...It had a 400 and we pulled it out and got a 350 Crate motor and it Ended up with 425 Horse 700 R4 and Posi....New Upholstery....Stock outside...He was a Little happier with the AVANTI than that Truck....SUPRISE

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Hell yeah man! Great job and thanks so much for watching!

[@kennethconnors7532]

like the way you makes these videos , fun to watch ,interesting

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks so much! It takes hours to produce one ten minute video so I appreciate everyone's kind words!

[@corvetteshorts4670]

I like that that you took two starters apart to make a good one. I thought only I did stuff like that.

[@corvetteshorts4670]

Also, this is Maserati Todd, just changed my youtube name to joke on C3 owners with gold chains.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Nice! Funny! I have a Corvette T shirt- no gold, but my buddy just bought a C3 and I think he does!

[@robertjefferies147]

great video looking forward to updates

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you! & Thanks for watching!

[@MrFrisky2010]

Awesome! Been needing my Grenade fix! :)

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

[@papersack4290]

This dude has a good smile.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Putting the fenders in the livingroom at 12:43, love it.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

[@rayjon237]

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Haha! That's awesome! Have fun and thanks for watching!

[@gilliland426]

going to be a great truck when done!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yes we hope so! Thanks for watching!

[@chadmurtorff4173]

That’s how it was around the same time for me in pa and it snowed today

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We have the same weather! Thanks for watching!

[@SchellyT777]

Sandford & son!? 😂 Nice job thus far dude!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Haha, right? Thanks for watching!

[@stantilton3339]

Wow, been wondering what to do with Dad's Durango. Have a spare 48 power wagon cab too. Seems like a match. A lot of fun to watch, well done.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks so much and yes, Durango's a re great for this. See the other videos, we've done a bunch of these! Thanks for watching!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

If you contact me through my regular website, I can help you with the wiring on these things, it's pretty simple.

[@johnnywrench9669]

I learned the hard way that the 4.7s have 3and4 plug computers 16and32 tooth ring in the motors they suck to change just a tip so you dont run into that like i did lol

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I never use the 4.7 engines. it's 5.7 Hemi all the way! Thanks for watching!

[@shoominati23]

This project makes me Geddy

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

HAHA! I see what you did there ;) Thanks for watching!

[@JBoogey806]

i have studebaker truck thats been in my grandparents backyard for as long as i can remember, but the only difference is theres room on the front bumper for a 5th wheel i assuming thats what its for, also have a late 60's pontiac grand prix, ohh yeah that studebaker truck is the same as yours, lol, thats krazy, and were about to get rid of them also, maybe sale or trade too

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

This video was several years ago- this truck was finished and last seen in FLA. Thanks for watching!

[@merlemorrison482]

I had a 53 - looked a lot like that. After I blew up the flat six it ended up with an Avanti 289 and B-W T10 trans. It was pretty lively with those 4:54 gears! PS: I see you have a heater box, mine came from Calif, so heat wasn't important. First time I drove up into the mountains of AZ during winter I quickly saw the error of my ways.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We NEED heaters up here! It's still cold and damp! Thanks for watching!

[@kimbrokaw598]

I have a 1953 Studebaker in North Dakota I would like to do this

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

These fit very well. Thanks for watching!

[@Crewsy]

I am glad that I typically only watch KZbin videos with one earbud in. At least now I can still hear with my other ear. I plan to watch this series and have subscribed but if you can’t balance out the audio so the music doesn’t rupture eardrums then it will be a no go for me. As for the snow. I almost have more here in Barrie Ontario now than I did all winter just from the storm over the weekend.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I know- we'll fix that. Thanks for watching- We NEED new gear & editing software, it's a constant battle, we will do better! Thanks and have fun out there!

[@Crewsy]

Grenade Motorsports Just watched the 41 Chevy and IH Metro builds and they look amazing. I look forward to the progress on the Studebaker.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Watching your other videos, and if it wasn't for the new column and the new instrument cluster, I would love to own the Studebaker. I understand why you do it though, but it's my only criticism.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We can leave period correct gauge clusters, but it adds 4k to the build cost. Thanks for watching!!

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Grenade Motorsports What's it going to sell for, with or without classic gauges? Best,

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Oh I don't know, once it's done and we drive it around a while, someone will love it more than we do. So for right now, we've just got to finish it!~ Thanks for watching!

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Man what a great video. Got 2 questions. Where do you live. I live in n.c.? What color are u going to paint the truck??

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We're in Ohio- thanks for watching and as far as paint? Who knows, might stay the way it is!

[@richardturk7162]

Hope you can upgrade your camera and audio soon. I have to ask why did you remove the fenders from the bed?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We hope so too! The camera and audio is Juuunk! We need external microphones and a newer camera. This is an almost 8yr old 720hd with welding spatter on the lens! The fenders had to come off because we are sectioning the bed, then we'll reattach them based on ride height, once the front fenders are mounted. Thanks for watching and YES- we need new recording gear!

[@johnnywrench9669]

So how do you like the air chisel bet you had one sooner they make alot of things faster if you use them right .

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Oh heck yeah- time saver for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@mowerman0718]

I have 1964 Mercedes-Benz . it has a straight 6 with two carburetors

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

That is awesome!! Thanks for watching!

[@rustylugzz]

I appreciate the time you took to make this video please consider adjusting the volume of the music that you add it's way too loud in relation to how loud you're speaking

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

You're 100% correct! Sorry about that, we're having trouble with our recording/filming/editing equipment. We hope to replace it soon, we are glad you've stayed to watch, so Thanks For Watching!

[@ascco-automotive9328]

theres some shops out there that are putting LS engines in everything ,, and I wanted to see a shop use 5.2 - 5.7 - 5.9 & 392 as the go-to motors for older mopars . and coyote & 6.8 triton v10 for the fords .. I will subscribe just to see where this goes

[@ascco-automotive9328]

can you please put a link or copyable email addy on your website , I wanted to get a quote on some work. I don't have that kind of service .. / outlook

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I've done so many 5.7 Hemis and Coyote swaps now, it's great! Thanks for watching!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

racemechanic@fmxpaulgrenade dot com

[@trapperbill4962]

Love the project but you need to match your voice volume with the music volume. Music louder than voice up and down with volume control

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yes, some of those early videos the sound was all mixed wrong! Tune into the newer stuff for a proper volume mix and Thanks for watching!

[@r1lark]

Oh man, been waiting for this one. I've got a '55 Stude pickup and have been thinking about a Dakota chassis swap.......but maybe an AWD Durango would work out better? What year range are the Durango chassis's that you are using?

[@JC-ok7qd]

Put an explorer chassis on or Tahoe. Those Durango are garbage.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Early Durangos are junk, Go 04-09 and they're good trucks, Hemi only, get em cheap and fix it yourself- they run for 200K and beyond.Thanks for watching!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Not all of them- it depends on who owned it. :) Thanks for watching!

[@Karrguy1973]

J C lol and you think an Explorers any better 😂😂

[@frigglebiscuit7484]

explorer and tahoe chassis isnt any better.

[@Mercmad]

Do you put the durango floor section in the Stude cab?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yes, we use the Durango floor pans when possible, it saves time later. Thanks for watching!

[@CarsandCollectors]

How much money is it to do a rwd to a awd conversion

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Every vehicle is different. Condition, options, donor vehicles etc. There's no "one set cost" on any project. Thanks for watching!

[@kennoe3438]

Have not found out what part of country you live in my son has two 1950 Studebakers one is a 1-ton cab and fenders the other 1/2 ton how much does it cost for you to do that if I have a Durango don't have a shop or help my son and i on what to save your Studebaker is awesome

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

You can contact through the www.GrenadeMotorsports.com Website and someone will get back to you, we're just south of Cleveland Ohio. Thanks so much for watching!

[@kennoe3438]

Thanks so much for the website I'm 58 going to retire in a few years my son is 21 and he wanted a father-son project I think he's got too many 54 Dodge to Studebakers too many projects to work on but I can't wait thanks so much wish you could move to Tennessee look forward to all your videos I'm hooked keep up the good work

[@thundermite1241]

For the next project give a early bronco a v8 and 4x4 out of an explorer

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

That's a great ide- Explorer chassis with a Coyote motor! Hmmm.. :) Thanks for watching!

[@jackd2083]

Grenade Motorsports That would be a cool project!

[@harolddavis5252]

Was the studebaker a 2r10 or a 2r15

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I think it was a 2r15. It's been so long ago now I can't remember. Thanks for watching!

[@user-ww3ey6yu8u]

I have a 62

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@gurneyhallac8305]

Did original motor start ?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We didn't try to light it. It spun free and off it went to it's new home. Thanks for watching!

[@jerimiahwalters9897]

i have a 1949 international pickup, if your in need of another truck build

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Maybe, send pictures through the www.GrenadeMotorsports.com site and I'll take a look. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnywrench9669]

Whats up with the bumpside ford they are my favorite truck wanna sell it

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yeah, that one isn't for sale, it's getting built- Thanks for watching!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

If you've tuned in to see this truck go AWD Hemi- After you watch this one, Here is the road test! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4jNgYyjncuWiNk

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Have you seen the new level of builds we're doing? Thanks for watching!

[@bobkroupa8445]

love the videos but hate the music- I turn it down but then can't hear you-

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yes, that video we had problems with the audio! We need new gear desperately and are making what we have, work. Sorry and thanks for watching!!!

[@kingofarizona9857]

i ve got a 50 Studeaker p/u bed trailer titled plated in az and for sale interested?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks but it's too far away. Thanks for watching!

[@EldarKinSlayer]

Mopar or No Car!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Right? LOVE the Dodge stuff these days! Thanks for watching!

[@RolandCaston]

Had to remove copyright music??

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We uploaded last night, but there was a song that obviously wasn't what we thought it was- had to re-edit the entire video. Oh well- only took four extra hours! LOL Have fun out there and Thanks for watching!

[@RolandCaston]

It's happened to me too.

[@ascco-automotive9328]

wheres this guy from using " la villa strangiato" for his musuc ?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I'm also a musician, originally from Detroit. :) Thanks for watching!

[@TheWesDrake]

I hear YYZ ...............................................!!!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I grew up on that stuff! Thanks for watching!

[@woodchip5774]

Just came across your channel. Love the builds and commentary. Lose the music!! It really detracts from the quality of the channel

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you so much! We are hoping to get new recording gear so that we can keep the volume better, less noise and a more clear image on screen. The music isn't great, we know- we're working on it! Have fun and thanks for watching!

[@davesogn3329]

move then to socal

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Seriously! It's mid April and still snowing here. Thanks for watching!

[@944tim]

as fascinating and interesting as the build is, the video is hard to watch, why? sound levels. To hear the commentary, you have to turn the volume up. then the filler music, you have to turn it down. Why am I commenting on this? because I missed catching the sound level and it woke my grandson up. (he's a great shop helper) anyway, interesting video, and I hope my comment may help you. BTW upvote on the Stude. Great pick!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

You're 100% correct! Sorry about that, we're having trouble with our recording/filming/editing equipment. We hope to replace it soon, we are glad you've stayed to watch, so Thanks For Watching!

[@isbcornbinder]

Why the IHC cap? You really need your own show. Please get rid of that annoying music.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

AHA! The IH cap is because I've done this to several IH trucks, please have a look at some of our other videos, you can see an IH van and several pickups given this same treatment! (yes, I'll tone down the music and) THANKS for watching!

[@daveogarf]

WATCH YOUR AUDIO LEVELS! You're going from muffled, echo-y dialogue to BLASTING MUSIC! It's jarring, to say the least.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yes, these older videos had definite volume issues but in everything from this previous year- they're vastly improved. Check some of the newer videos to see and thanks for watching!
