This is our work in progress. 57 Studebaker Transtar, but we're modernizing the suspension (TCI and 4 link). We're staying old school on the engine and Transmission by using a .080 over Studebaker 289 with a Paxton Blower (R2) and T10 4 close ratio speed.
This truck is a Johnny Cash special, as the cab was a chicken coop at one time, and I found the bed out in a farmer's field. The engine I have owned since the early 60's when my dad bought the truck it was in to use for oilfield production work.
This pic is from the deconstruction phase with my son and grandson.
