Keep em coming, we love trucks as much as trees.

Probably more actually.

Here are a few of my Studebaker trucks.

First up is my 1948 M-16 grain truck.

This is my 1962 7E-13D one ton 4x4 rack truck (my avatar picture).

This is my 1946 M-16 fire truck with 2349 original miles.

My 1957 3E-40 flatbed truck with my recently departed 1964 Avanti on the back.

My 1961 6E-28 grain truck.

Lastly, my 1955 E-38 grain truck. The bed of this vehicle currently holds about 400 BF of cedar I milled along with about 150 chain saws.

Does anyone have a link to Brendon's truck thread where he built his own box?

Maybe a tad off the subject but I got reminded of two instances involving old trucks .

The first was a 1954 grain hauler my brother in law had .Old flat head Dodge with a bad water pump .I fixed it with the innards from a Ford water pump .Wide open pedal to the metal about 45 MPH .

The second was an old rattle trap Chevy Tom had with a 6 cylinder 292 six banger .Leaky pump that got a new lease in life with Ford parts and a little lathe work .Never say die .

Brendon, what thickness did you use on the diamond plate for the siding? Also, what did you use for the framing? I'm looking at putting together a box soon and coming up with ideas....

[brendonv]

When I had the diamond plate one it's 1/8". The frame was 2" x.125 steel square. To heavy though. I'd go 1.5" x .125 or even a gauge or too thinner on the frame.

 

[treesandsurf]

sweet thanks for the info Brendon.

Heres one I did Jon, fixing to sell the truck now

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You're selling the invisible one!? I never thought you would part with that!

 

[sotc]

Wise guy!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Let me know what you are thinking Willie and I will run it across Rob's desk and see what he thinks.

What year is that anyway? Emissions might be what kills me if.

 

[top_notch]

Found this truck, seems like a pretty good deal. What do y'all think? LINK

 

[sotc]

Stephen, word got around before I was even ready to sell, I have a guy that is supposed to bring me some dough next week for it

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Kewl.

We have been looking for a flat bed (body only) for the Ford and make a dump out of it. Why I asked.

 

[squisher]

I've been busy with the old plow truck. New(to me 90miles) motor, tranny, transfer case, and all u-joints. Done all the wrenching myself, shop for the rebuilds on the tranny and transfer case components.

I'll have it all buttoned up this weekend, just have the frame crossmember under the tranny and the t-case to go.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Nice vehicle, bro. Sublime color.

 

[SkwerI]

Looks like a beast!

 

[brendonv]

You guys use salt up there? I'd think it'd be all rotted out being plowed in all. Looks sharp!

 

[jefflovstrom@sb]

Our mechanic, Wendells truck.

 

[woodworkingboy]

The little old lady from Pasadena?

It is showing some rot in spots, that's a older pic that I had already loaded on here from a couple years ago. I can't finger out how to get pics from my cel-phone onto the computer. I think my computer might be to old or something?



Jeff, I don't know what to say. Crazy.
