I am thinking.....is this worth the work? Long bed/short bed??? What will I have tied up in this to just drive safely??

Like to get all the input I can!!

My opinion....I would never buy it...unless I needed a few parts off of it...even then I wouldn't pay more than $500 for it.....every body panel will probably need to be replaced..Those are the kind of trucks that someone gives you just to haul it off...Just my two cents...

Thanks for the input. I am not getting warm fuzzy feelings about this one. I figure that the normal rust areas, basically everything at axle level. I hate body work too!! I figure the subframe thing again too. Been there, done that. Had a sub 10 sec. 52, 5 window p.u.

I am with you on this one. Only reason I am looking at it is that my mother likes it. Then again she has had a 66 Mustang, a 04 Ranger stepside and a 74 corvette that I built from the ground up(not for tall people to drive). I do whatever for family.

I have a line on a one owner 64 to be sold at a later date. She (a friend) wants to run it as well as the other Studebaker cars in an auction. It is actually inside a shed. Still trying to talk her out of selling it now. OBW Thanks!

I think $1500 is too much, The pic's are pretty poor. So its hard to say how bad the cab is, take a good look around the windshield. crawl under it and have a good look underneath it front to back too. the bed sides look fair, rear fenders can probably be patched, front fenders look shot, hard to say on the doors. if ya cant hear it run plan on a possible rebuild.

Pending on how bad the actual body is 5-800? Be prepared to walk, if its still available a couple weeks later maybe you can drop the price even lower.
