Looks great, love the old signage! What kind of shift linkage did you go with?"

Yes, I've got to get back on my 50 Studebaker Champion and finish it. It's got a Fatman front subframe and suspension, S10 rear, 400 Chevy 700R4, Leather Trailblazer seats and console. I'm ready to pull the body off the frame, finish welding things up, cleaning it up, painting it, and putting it all back together.

Plus I've got some Tri-Y headers for the Mustang, a Suregrip for the Challenger, some hood insulation for the Chevelle.........
Then there's the 54 Stude pickup.

Ratty!
What a fun looking truck. I love it! Very unusual combo, which makes it great!

Guess I'm doing this backwards but I already finished the truck.
Here's what I started with a cab, an engine and a Minneapolis Moline tractor grille.
The frame is from Spirit Industries. It's a 27 T roadster frame. Was cheaper than I could buy the metal at the time.

The rear is out of a 69 Camaro. 10 bolt, 3.73 Posi, new bearings, seals and axles. I removed the spring pads and welded on the hairpin/shock brackets.

Next to the front.
Super Bell 4" drop I-beam with 40s style Ford Spindles. I started with the Model A bones but later changed to hairpins.
The front brakes are 69-72 Chevy Mid-size 11" disc brake rotors and calipers.
