Studly Stude

[@curthenry9398]

When I was very young my dad had a Studebaker pickup that looked like the one in the video. Somebody gave him a 5-gallon pail of CAT yellow paint that my dad painted the truck. One of my earliest memories was going with my dad in the Studebaker to a nearby farm. My dad either sold or bought something from the farmer. The farmers wife gave me a big sugar cookie. 40 years later I married the granddaughter of the farmers. Studebakers pickups can lead to a romance.

[@vettekid3326]

Studebaker built almost 200,000 6x4 & 6X6 army trucks during WW 2 and kept on supplying them to the US army right up to the end in 1963. They were quite the expert in that area and one of the reasons why as an independent were relatively big in the light and medium truck market.

Perhaps in the not too distant future you could find a Lark upon which to expound. Thank you for another informative video.

Love the looks of stude trucks almost better looking than the chevys

[@glenn6668]

Always good to see a Studebaker - thanks! That’s a 2R14 one ton truck and is quite rare. The engine is NOT the typical flathead used in trucks - it’s the 245 “Commander” I6. Oddly, these more powerful trucks were barely publicized by Studebaker. The heater is called “Climatizer” and was mainly installed at the factory. Front and rear axles were made by Timken. These trucks handle and stop nicely but are low geared so top speed is only about 50 MPH!

[@iplaymytele]

When I was a little kid, my dad came driving home in a 1946, or 1947, Studebaker pick up truck…. I always thought the front end of it looks so cool with that tall grill and the big headlights … I’m 69 now..🤔

[@DanEBoyd]

That big fiberglass grill!! Always assumed that they were metal. When I was a kid in the 1970s and early '80s, there was an old Texaco station in my hometown, and their shop truck was a Studee like that - only this one had been fitted with dual exhaust stacks behind the cab, and with rain caps!! It was a sort of medium red which looked a little like primer. I think that station had been a truck stop in the pre-interstate days, but when they put I70 through there, a better truck stop was built right near the overpass, and the site lived on as a regular gas station.

Friend drove a Studebaker pickup in high school. A 47 I think, cool truck but the cab was so narrow the bucket seat from a 60-70s car looked like a split bench in it. One ride I still remember was three of us in there, one guy was on the "portly" side, I was jammed in the center and did the shifting. Worst part was his dad or grandpa told him not to go over 45 and he didn't, the ride lasted an eternity.

[@Red_5_Standing_By]

I'm 55 now, and when I was in high school in the mid 80's in the metro Atlanta area, one of my best friends at the time had a 1950 Studebaker truck. He had swapped a V8 into it when he first got it. I want to say it was a 289. Anyway, it was pretty rough, and he had an old style gasser fuel tank in the bed of it. It would be considered a rat rod for sure today. I still remember the prestige tag he got for it. "50 STUD." Good memories.

Gotta love the flathead. I liked learning on them in Tech school. A shame Studebaker quit making cars and trucks.

I have to say, that "one" mistake Motortrend made was a big one. I canceled my MT plus subscription because i watch your stuff way more. And with your channel i dont have to wait 8 months for a new episode to come out.

[@shoominati23]

I nipped my subscription in the bud too, HRM ran an article regarding the champions of Fuel Altered cars, and 'Wild' Willy Borsch wasnt in the Top 10, and was NOT mentioned once in the entire article BOOM tick cancel, DO NOT come Monday.. Many of the decisions they made didn;t make sense commercial or semanticly either, the magazine 'fleet' was bringing in 60% of the income (the other 40 , Online and merchandising etc) But they drew the curtains on the entire repetoire and only kept Hot Rod and a few others which I can't recall the Titles of, but there was nothing scientific about it - just the wrecker's ball on Magazine Titles that were a household name and had been around for almost half a century some of them. A LOT of babies thrown out with the Bathwater that time folks! Many irreverseable decisions that will come back to haunt them with time I think!

[@SteveMagnante]

Yes indeed. That "house cleaning" took place on Friday, December 6, 2019 one day before the OTHER "day of infamy". I was a freelance writer at the time doing monthly articles for CAR CRAFT, MOPAR MUSCLE, MUSCLE CAR REVIEW and an occasional piece for HOT ROD. I got an email from the editor of Muscle Car Review saying "we all just had a noon / lunch meeting and 135 employees all got fired". Apparently a decision was made a few years BEFORE 12-6-19 to eventually eliminate the print arm of the Motor Trend dynasty. The question was WHEN. The answer - as we now know - came on December 6th. It is true that many of the magazines WERE still profitable but the Larger Intent was to eliminate the old-school printed media....except for Hot Rod, Motor Trend and Four Wheeler. Anyhoo, its been 4 years and life goes on. Thanks for watching and writing. Long Live Wild Willie Borsch! One of my Prized Possessions is a $10.00 check from Al "Mousy" Marcellus from 1995. He bought some old car magazines from me at the Long Beach swap meet and paid with that check. I later told him I didn't cash the check and he sort of got pissed because it upset his bank balance by $10.00! I get it, but c'mon! He's A LEGEND - just like Wild Willie!

On the subject of Studebaker trucks: about 15 years ago, my daily use car was a 1966 Corvair Monza. Meanwhile, a guy on the next block down had an early 60's Studebaker Champ pickup as HIS daily driver. As would occasionally happen, when he and I would wind up together driving through the neighborhood, we would turn heads! Think about it; most neighborhoods don't even have one 50 year old vehicle in day-to-day service, and we had two! (A block away, there's a row of rental grages with a nice Karmann-Ghia and an MGB, but those two hardly ever come out to play.)

"They tried..." ? Studebaker was always ahead of the big three in terms of innovation. Early purveyors of improvements such as, their intro of the "Twin Traction" rear axle.(thanks to Packard, another independent) Their use of standard front disc brakes ten years before they became common throughout the industry. They also introduced an overhead valve V8 in 1951, years before Ford or Chevy. Doing more with less was how they survived as an independent for so long against the competition. A true automotive David & Goliath story...

[@rupe53]

Stude may have been the first to do OHV in a V-8 but Buick used OHV in their straight 6 back in the late 1920s. The Buick Master series 6 also had full pressure lube and roller lifters. That engine was used in similar era GMC trucks as well.

The Studebaker club was a fairly good sized organization. They even published a magazine at one time. A coworker was a member and used to give me his magazines after he read them. This was 15-20 years ago and he passed away some 10 years back. Some folks bought a lot of spare parts from Studebaker when they quit making vehicles and NOS parts were available for decades for these cars and trucks.

I see the hood ornament as an artistic and stylized jet engine inlet (cancel the page for Dr. Freud). You see many 1950s front ends with jet inlet design. If you look at the 1959 Cadillac turn signals and jet engine inlets on a B-45 Tornado, you will see they look very similar! As far as tire pressure, I think you mean at 100 psi, you have😮 a total of 40,000 pounds of pressure over the total interior area of the tire and rim without the “per square inch”.

I added a supercharged 389, 4 wheel drive from a Jeep FC170 and Posi-traction in both axles and air conditioning. Later I added a snow plow that ran off a pwr steering pump as it had manual steering.

It was also what did in AMC in the 1980s as well. Yes, Garwood was well-known back in the day.

Studebaker was really successful in the medium duty truck market from the 1920's into the 1950's. As a kid in Alaska in the 1970's, I had a very nice old lady as a neighbor who drove Studebaker US-6 trucks up the newly built Alaska highway during WWII. After the war she ran a successful private trucking business using Studebaker and GMC trucks. Super Cool !! By the way, I am totally mystified why you say split rims were outlawed from new trucks by the 1970's. Not on the west coast, at least !!!! All the way thru the 1980's, I saw multiple makes of new trucks rolling out with them !! I was there !!! Were they just outlawed in Mass. ???? As an example, go look at brochures for Ford and GM medium duty trucks of the 1980's..... You will find many split rim wheels, both Budd 10 lug and "Dayton style" cast spoke..... Anyway, Steve, Great presentations, just this one misconception glares at me, as I was a full fledged gear head and truck nut thru this era and lots of "widowmaker" split rim wheels on 1980's medium duty trucks !!

Cool shoutout to Gar Wood boats. If you ever get tired of wanting cars you can't afford, go down the vintage mahogany speedboat rabbithole and go look at some Gar Wood or Chris Craft runabouts and raceboats. You think you want a Hemi Superbee or 'Cuda really badly? Wait 'til you get hooked on prewar raceboats
