Of all the vehicles I’ve owned over the past fifty years, I miss my 1960 Champ the most

Love Studebaker trucks! Looks like you got a really good one. I’m jealous! 👍

Love the truck

Love Studebaker! That dash cluster is similar to a Chevy II of the same period, simple

Engine sounded so good when you first got her goin. Is a shame she started smokin. Maybe it needs to be ran and the rings will reseat?

Just some clarification: Studebaker did not use up surplus Dodge beds to make the P2 "spaceside" bed which came online midway through the 1961 model year. Studebaker bought the dies from Mopar and used their plant to produce all the pieces necessary to make this bed - only thing they had to change was make a new tailgate center (lettering was not different than the regular narrow Studebaker bed), and probably make different mounting points. The overdrives were made by Borg Warner. The handle pulled out, locks out the overdrive - nothing but a three speed. With the handle pushed in - the truck will go into overdrive once the correct speed is reached (25-35), some magic happens with the solenoid and governor, let off the throttle, and it will slid into overdrive. The switch on the throttle linkage is the kick-down. Looks like you got a peach - good luck!

U should've got the old gas out of it 😊😊 put a new fuel filter on the sparkplugs should be replaced new 1S the valve cover gasket is bad most likely and should do both sides at the same time and get the better 1S w the metal taps 😊😊 OMG 12 6 2O23

You know I was sad to see her go but boy did she ever land at the right shop! You gentlemen where a pleasure to work with and it almost brought a tear to my eye hearing her run again! I still haven’t found that other hubcap but if I do you will be the first to know

[@LambvinskisGarage]

It's such a sweet little truck!! You guys were awesome to make a deal with aswell! I wish they were all that easy haha! We'd love to put all 4 hubcaps on for sure! I think we're actually going to take it on the highway tomorrow too!

[@isaiahbranstetter7571]

@@LambvinskisGarage that’s awesome! She’s definitely likes to wander on the highway but I’m sure it’s nothing you fellas haven’t dealt with before! Can’t wait to see more content
