I thought y'all might enjoy seeing whats still out there in the remote junk yards.

This 1957 Golden hawk will most likely never see road duty again, but neat to see it's there.

Hi guys,



First of all let me admit that I'm not really a fan of some of the older Studebakers, especially the styling. To me most of them are either a love it or hate it type of thing.

But there is one in the Feb. '08 issue of Hot Rod magazine, in the Homebuilt Heros articles that is an absolutely beautiful truck. It is a '37 Studebaker Coupe Express pickup with a supercharged 289 Avanti motor in it and I could definitely enjoy and be proud to own one like it.

Just wondering if any of you had seen this one or had even heard of this pickup? If you haven't done so yet, you should try to get hold of the magazine and check this one out.]]> 36 Studebaker Pick Up ... Resto... http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/24642/36-studebaker-pick-up-resto- Mon, 22 May 2006 20:23:54 +0000 Mike Walker 24642@/forum/discussions


I have 2 vehicals I want to restore... but how... I know some of you will probably cringe, but assume there are others out there like me, that want as original a looking vehical, but with modern safety & drivetrain components...



... with fuel prices going up every day, I need to decide how to do my resto... I had planned to redo our Willey's CJ-2A, & Studibaker pick up, with modern drive train components, but lately have been wondering if I should nix the 440, & 3/4 ton 4 X 4 drive train ( I had intended to do an on road low slung 4 wheel burn out machine, with the 440 )... but lately have been thinking it would be alot more fun as a economical daily driver, than a gas guzzling burn out machine... been toying with the idea of fabbing as many pieces out of aluminum, to lighten it up as much as possible, & installing a new 4 liter 4 cylinder diesel...



so now the big question... am I whacked to want to modernize & economize the truck into a daily driver, where I could enjoy it daily, rather than to take it back to totally stock, or stuffing a big block into it ???



just as an FYI... the truck is pretty complete, & straight, in rough but restorable shape, the motor was froze up 10 years ago, & my wifes father tried to unstick it back then, before he died, so the motor is likely a boat anchor...



I'm leaning towards doing the Jeep 1st, for my wife, then starting the Studi project...any sugested places to learn more about the truck, & places to get parts ???]]> 28 Studebaker Dictator http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/62967/28-studebaker-dictator Thu, 22 Nov 2007 10:18:22 +0000 ESSX28-1 62967@/forum/discussions
I know about vacuum tanks from my 28 Essex Coupes but as yet, not much about Studebakers.

He wants me to help him catolog everything and find out what it's all worth. Then he wants to find a single buyer to take the whole lot off his hands. My thought was to hold an auction but he doesn't want the fuss and attention. Which is too bad because it would probably be the biggest event to hit the studebaker community in years! Could you imagine an auction where 105 studes were going to be sold? Not to mention all the parts either.



So this is what I've talked him into for right now. I just started a website called 'Studebaker Heaven'. (www.studebakerheaven.com) On this site I'm going to post pics of all the rigs and parts as I start catologing them. This way everyone gets a chance to see what's up for sell. So please pass this message around for me. I would really hate to see anyone in the Studebaker community miss out on this one.



If you have any questions or even want to help out with the website just email me at mycatz2fat@mycatz2fat.com.

it dosent run well, it misses and im not quite sure why?

i took out number one spark plug, turned the engine over by hand untill
i felt compression then matched the up dead center mark on the dampener with the pointer on the timeing chain cover, then rotated the distributor untill the points were just opening makeing sure the vacume advance and the mecanical advance were in there default positions and were not binding up. the points are gaped.020 and the plugs are .025.
i then found out wich hole in the cap was number one by compareing it to the roter, after that i checked the rotation of the engine and the roter so
i could conect the spark plug wires correctley to the fireing order
1-5-3-6-2-4.


the engine has the correct amount of oil a full radiator and good oil pressure and fired up niceley on prime and then ran on its own after
fuel filled the lines i havent done a compression test yet but im sure all
the cylinders are going to be below 105 psi. the fuel is reguler unleaded
i just thought of this after i bought it, should it be somthing else?

i tried to tune the carburator up, the manual says to bump the idle down
to about 7 to 8 mph but i just adjusted it by ear. then it says to screw the
fuel mixture screw in untill the engine leans out and runs rough then back it back out untill the engine "rollls" then back in untill it runs smooth. after that it says to re adjust the idle and then your done. i tried to do all that but i did not mess with the float level or the accelerator pump. the engine
just ran poorer the longer i messed with it and i fouled the plugs so i took them out and cleaned them with some kroll penatrateing oil then re gaped them and tried agan but no luck. i also tried a timeing lite to see were the spark was with the engine running so i could fine tune it but i could not see the marks eaven when they were cleaned. and me turning the distributor, the light i have could be a bit close range or i dont have the right angle or i am not looking at the right spot.

it didnt realy matter at that point because a reading would be so unstable i could not tell if it was because of incorrect fuel mixture or incorrect spark timeing or bolth or somthing compleatley diffrent? like oil foul, wrong gas, low compression or vacume leaks? most likeley none of the above.

i think i need new plugs for starters and some good advice or someone older then 22
