Default 52 Studebaker Truck #2 (daily driver)

Stock Studebaker frame with a dodge front K-member, ford 9".

The cab and truck bed are in colored primer currently. The frame was torn down, sand blasted, etched and painted in Imron 3.5. The cab and bed had the same treatment, but instead of Imron they were bed lined underside and inside. Dynamat and Dynaliner, Dakota digital dash to interface with the e-67 ecu.
The "boxing" of the back of the dash will happen after i get the mounts maid for the relay center and ecu.




5.3 In and the frame was cleared for the A/C compressor.





Starting to mount the vintage air system and get the flat panning done on the trans tunnel.





Blurry pic. but will get better shots later. The passengers side rack and pinion mount had to be repositioned for the A/C to fit.
