Vehicle Story

This customer came to us asking for something that would set him apart at shows. We set out together to find something different. We for a Studebaker truck that we knew was going to different by itself. We started out making a frame to get the ride height we wanted. From there it was on to the body mod's. There is 4 inches sectioned out of the body, fenders swapped front to back, tail gate became a trunk to hide the gas fill and the battery master on off switch, 1938 Ford standard grill welded to make 1 piece, 1939 Ford hood grafted on. We also made a removable top with a hidden 3rd brake light. The removable top made the entire build like we were building two different cars that we had to make sure looked good in both presentations. In 2014 we were blessed with winning the Winfield award at the Syracuse Nations. We have had great success with this build and the owner still drives it around today. The truck was finished in 2014 and still looks like it could have been done last year. The owner really does a great job of taking care of it.
