1959 Studebaker Transtar

1959 Studebaker C-Cab 4E7. Beautiful, nice riding, good running, this completely restored Studebaker truck sits on a 1981 C-10 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive frame. Everything was put on new. Frame and suspension were sandblasted and powder coated in black. Rebuilt Ford LTD 9" rear end with 28 spline axles. All 4 wheel power disc brakes, 3:55 gears. The rest of the drivetrain is a 400 small block Chevy engine, bored, balanced, and dynoed to 413 horsepower.

The transmission is a 1991 Chevy R-4, completely rebuilt with a Hughs, 2500 stall speed converter. It also has a Summit aluminum extra 2 quart pan.

Everything in the cab is new wiring, gauges, Lokar shifter, stereo, tilt Ididit steering column, carpet and the original seat frame recovered in a diamond style vinyl.

The truck also has all 4 brand new BF Goodrich tires mounted on new torque thrust wheels.

This truck could be driven anywhere and gets lots of looks, especially the custom built oak bed shaped like the original one. Magnets hold the tailgate closed extremely well. Rear fenders are aftermarket fiberglass. The bed was spray stained and cleared with a custom blended semi satin finish. It too me over two years to build this bed as I started with rough cut oak that I kiln dried myself.

Truck is being sold as is.
