HEMI AWD Power 1950 TRUCK! Studebaker Spits Gravel!

This truck is hours away from being on the road! We test drive it today! HEMI 4x4! Will it do a burnout? Yes! #HemiEnvy

[@robertswoboda5425]

Thanks for posting these Studebaker videos. They bring back memories of my first vehicle. A 1951 Studebaker pickup that my dad and I built. We put the cab and box on the running gear of Chrysler Imperial with a 413 hemi. That pickup would fly. .....my mom made me sell it. :-(

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Very cool! Thanks for watching!

[@michaeljenkins6550]

Bloody awesome truck

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@williampylypow5401]

Love it! Studes are beautiful! You've done a great job. It looks like it's s'posed to be just the way it is! I'm impressed! Thanks!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching!

[@hillbillyhellion3158]

I just bought a 2004 Durango with a Hemi that hydro locked and broke a rod on the right side. I plan on merging it and my 1976 Dodge short bed together . When I was sixteen I owned a 1961 Studebaker Pickup. great video and Build.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Yep, great trucks to use for the swap! Best of luck and thanks for watching!

[@Karrguy1973]

My one day off, and I was gifted a new video👍🏾 time to grab a beer 🍺

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Ahh yes! Enjoy the brews and Thanks for watching!

[@InternetDude]

Cool project, I wouldn’t run an engine dry that much though.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you! The video was filmed over 2 hours. It never ran for more than 30-60 seconds at a time. It'll get it's cooling system this week and we're taking it out on the road! Thanks for watching!

[@rustymac13]

Pretty Cool, Mr. Grenade

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you! It's waaaay stronger than it should be! When I hit the pedal I was like "Oh Sh#t" hahaha Finishing it up next week! Thanks for watching!

[@chopperbaldwin610]

Another amazing video, that thing is a beast. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thank you again for watching and a great day to you too!

[@DeanHeath-fz3cp]

I have probably watched all your videos and love your work ! I have an old studebaker just like this one that I was going to put on a Dakota frame but after seeing your videos I’m interested in going this route . How many hours do you think it takes you roughly to get something like this up and driving and the sheet metal work done ?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

This one was years ago, 200-300 hours depending on how far you want to go. Lots of new content with 175+ videos uploaded. Thanks for watching!

[@PalaniRides]

Wow, thanks for the videos on your builds. I must have watched about seven of them tonight. Can't wait to see more, and yes I'm "liking" them and subscribing. Quick questions: When you're installing a new modern engine into an old chassis, what's the rake of the engine? Does that matter that much? Second question: When installing an old body on a new chassis that obviously wasn't designed for it, how do you determine where to locate new attaching points? The new frame will obviously have them, but they can't always match the strong points of the body. Thank you.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Engine rake depends on available space, I try to keep them as flat as possible but it's not too important with EFI provided you keep the oil pickup in the oil level. Body mount points on chassis swaps are made by me. I line stuff up and say "If the mount was right here, this would work" and then I put the mount there. Thanks for watching!

[@galaxie500xl7]

I don't know about anyone else, but the audio was better on this video than it usually is on all your others. The way it usually is, I have to keep my finger on the volume button so when the music blasts me against the wall I can turn it down. And then back up to hear you. Up.......down.........up.........down is the way it usually is.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We need new equipment. We're doing the best we can with what we have, keeping the music way down is the goal these days! Thanks for watching!

[@gintasindreika933]

Did the Durango wheelbase match the Stude body, or did you cut up the bed?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We always work magic in the front fenders and the rear bed length when using the Durangos. Thanks for watching!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the crudebacker lives! any plans of lowering it paul?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I like the way this one sits. It's like it was born there. The ride height will come down a little, fully completed, but it's going to stay a useable truck. It's freaking STRONG when you hit that pedal! Thanks for watching!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

usable truck...the best kind of truck to have.

[@thundermite1241]

Have you considered doing an explorer body swap with somthing old like a bronco

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I love the idea! The old Broncos are big bucks these days, but if someone wants to sponsor a build- I'm IN! Thanks for watching!

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Yahooooo....

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I like to say "YeeeeeHaaawww" hahaha Thanks for watching!

[@wa6gxq]

Like it!!!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Thanks a lot! It's really strong when you hit that pedal! Thanks for watching!

[@1982MCI]

Is this one for sale? Ballpark price if it is? Looks awesome, would love to have this one!!

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We've seen offers to trade, but I might keep this one. Not sure yet. It's getting finished up this week. Stay tuned and Thanks for watching!

[@alexanderferguson483]

hey man am cab swaping a 1977 on to a 2002 for f150 is it to cut cab then graft or pull and refit to 77 body.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but if you contact someone at our website www.GrenadeMotorsports.com I'm sure we can help! Thanks for watching!

[@PlumpyWhale]

do you ever paint your cars lol?

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

I work on painted stuff, but do I ever paint anything? Nope. Too much money and time to paint cars. That's why these builds are so popular. Thanks for watching!

[@dirtyroofer3678]

That's a beautiful truck , wanna trade a 8.1,Silverado for it

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

Maybe! Let me get this one finished first. It'll be done in about a month or less. Stay tuned and Thanks for watching!

[@dirtyroofer3678]

Grenade Motorsports found your channel a few months ago I watch but don't comment , great build ,

[@stevemccullough893]

I hate when they play music when you want to hear that grumble of motor.

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

We've been toning down the music lately- Thanks for watching!

[@medicaided42]

roll a baseball bat between the tire and fender?????

[@GrenadeMotorsports]

It's a good idea, but I've trimmed them to get them to where they are, another quick 3/4" and a roll out- no problem! 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!
