j hancock Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Studebaker.Some of those were made into Whatoff Toters (sp). Can't tell about the one pictured. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Studebaker looks like it was fitted with a 4-53 Detroit. Smaller models had 3-53 Detroits. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Since it is a Hummin Cummins and the correct body color, FWD should get a fire body for it. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Since it is a Hummin Cummins and the correct body color, FWD should get a fire body for it.I understand it actually is / was a Air Base Foam unit. Don't know if the F.D. body is being done over.

mrsmackpaul Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 nope but looks like it came from a Studebaker to me Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Paul what size Cummins in the Studebaker ? I have read several Studebaker Truck Brochures but never saw the Cummins as an option. Those Studies with Detroits bring good money,I cannot imagine what a factory installed Cummins would bring. Thanks for the information. I would like to see the engine room on that Stude. Joe D.

41chevy Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I know most were 3 or 4 cylinder Detroit, this one has a Cummins 4, I assume it's a B series 3.3 or 3.9. It could be OEM or a swap I'll find out at the new show it's at.

gearhead204 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 it wouldn't be a "B" as they wern't built until 1987 or 1988. I would guess a 160 or 180Cummins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D.Exactly what i was thinking too Joe .This one has a Cummins in it OEM. Pretty rare with that in it. Never knew Cummins Was an Option for the Studebaker Diesel trucks . I Have only seen one Studebaker Diesel Truck & it had a 453 Jimmy in it . Bet it was a little easier on the ears with the Hummin Cummins . Nice picture Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.

Nice picture If it was military based purchase the Cummins makes sense from a maintenance point of view. They used a ton of Cummins and Studebaker Multi Fuel engines. I'll see it at the Labor Day show and get more info on it.

Phase 1 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 As a kid growing up in Conn I remember a mail contractor had some tractors-Detroits for sure but I think they had the conventional Stude'bkr grill of the day-no exposed shutters.Studebaker took the grill off some of them for a shorter bumper to back of cab dimension. The bumper was nearly flush with the front end. It could be it was on those sold in later years as tractors - or possibly that was an option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
