1947 Studebaker Farm Truck Hotrod
M15A Stakebody rescued from a Connecticut farm. The original drivetrain, suspension, steering, interior and gas tank have been removed. The cab was removed from the frame and the floors were rebuilt using 1” square tube and heavy gauge sheet metal and new cab mounts were welded in. The frame was cleaned and painted with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and Chassis Satin Black. The underside of the cab, fenders, engine compartment, and bed have been coated with Rust Encapsulator to make sure it lasts another 76 years. The wheel base has been shortened to the standard M5 wheel base and the frame has been shortened accordingly. The bed was found in St Louis and brought back to New England for the build. The exterior has not been painted save for misting the bed with Eastwood Red Rust Encapsulator to help it better match the cab. This is an Old-School build using all new parts with the exception of the engine and rear differential. Less than 500 miles since completion. Details of the build are as follows:
