Rodney Bullock Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Well, I am all rested now, checked on the Stude this am and the guy just finished the wet sand and buff. The thing looks fantastic;) so off to Leon's tomorrow with an old friend. He had his car painted at Macco and needs some trim parts, I will also look for that driver's door Greg, 1956 stude truck? I will take some pic's of it and if you are interested I will make some kind of arrangment for you. Ithink I am going to get those quater windows for my parts car. I will be selling that and as we talked about I want to make that car as complete as I can for the next guy. Quote
greg g Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 yep 50 to 59 is good. r and e series cabs. Check out the rear fenders also. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Rodney; While you are there find and post a picture of those front wheel ball bearings for a 53 shiverlay truck you was talkin about??? Quote
Normspeed Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Greg, I saw this truck at a cruise last week. Thought you might enjoy it. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Rodney; You are correct and thanks for the education. I had never heard of using ball bearings on the front wheels of trucks until you told me so. http://www.americanclassic.com/Google_Base_HTML_Pages/BR2702-1953.htm Quote
greg g Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Norm thanks for the pics. I can assure you mine will never look like that. I like the front bumper treatment. Wonder what he used? Quote
Young Ed Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Don I remember the first time I saw those things too. A neighbor was working on his early 50s chevy truck and I happened to stop by to chat. Apparently they were functional but I cant imagine they are as good as a tapered roller bearing. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Oh Greg, It's tragic. They crushed the Stude trucks on Friday three of them. I went to where they were and they are gone. They may have moved them however I could not "ask" him right "DON":) I did a quick run thru there today as I saw 2 snakes:eek: and mud -a- plenty. I got the quarter windows out of the stude c coupe. I was in a section of leons that I had not been in before, The older gentleman I was with needed some wheel well trim for his 70 monte carlo. This trip was hard, Hey Joe Leon said he still has not moved the 49 up but he will. Quote

On my truck the thermostat opens with the pressure of the water as well:D hahahahahaha Quote

If your pressurestat is adjusted to open at .5 bar how much pressure is that? step-thump-step-thump-step-thump If you have seen Rodney walk you know this is the sound of him racing to his puter to google pressurestat and bar (as related to pressure) not the place you oggle (not google) chicks.

greg g Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 you mean 500,000 dynes per square centimeter? but then it would be open all the time wouldn't it? Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 hahahahahahahah:D Is this your answer? You need to do your homework:rolleyes: Quote
62rebelP23 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 i remember hitting Leons with a coworker in early April of '94(?) and walking around in a steady rain about 40 degrees and having the time of my and his life. at that time he had a De Soto sedan out front like the one on Happy Days. man what a place! and don't worry 'bout them sneeaks; they don't eat much.....

Rodney Bullock Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 I bet in 94 he had a lot of stuff then:D I would have gave anything to have been there than, I saw a Desoto yesterday might not be the same one but he has them still. We saw some things that I had not seen before because I usually go to the section for Plymouth and Studebaker. I saw this yesterday and you could not guess what it is or this Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Posted June 18, 2008 You won't believe the make of this car:) I have a pic of the name plate on the side;) Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Looks a lot like a 46-48 Buick by virtue of the shape of the side. The trunk lid is simply upside down....maybe. Quote
John Reddie Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 A really wild guess here. An Austin from England? Something about that trunk lid, I don't know. Thanks for posting. John R: Quote
62rebelP23 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 i'm going to say Austin also, since in '94 Leon had a scad of ODDBALL foreign cars up there (i myself was looking for mk1 Cortina taillights at the time) amongst which were a Wartburg and several Citroens. being so close to DC made these unusual cars soemwhat easier to obtain.

Rodney Bullock Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Posted June 19, 2008 This is a strange commination, I never knew these two got together:) what about that motor, I saw that on a frame. Quote
