This my 1923 Studebaker roadster pick up that could be concidered a rat rod or traditional hot rod. The frame is a custom 2x4 square tube steel frame with a 14" Z in the rear with a suicide front end. The rear end is out of a 1970 Chevelle and is a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears and disc brakes, the suspension is coil springs with Curtis rods and pan hard bar. The front axle is a Supper bell 4" drop with mono leaf spring ford spindles and disc brakes with a Chevy car bolt pattern. The cab is a 1923 Studebaker that has had the back of it smoothed out to have the bed fit up close to it and showed its age of 90 years dings and pitting and it gives it character and I didn't want to take that away so I left them there during the paint prep portion of the project. The bed is a 1953 dodge that has been shortened by 20" and the tail gate welded shut. The bed has a couple dings here and there and a bullet hole that I left as it seemed appropriate since it is painted like the Red Baron! The bed has redwood floor with a trunk with a locking lid so there is a good amount of cargo space. The grill shell is a 1930 ford that has been trimmed to fit the new aluminum radiator. The engine is a pretty fresh SBC 350 with a th350 trans that run great, has 70 psi oil pressure and shifts smooth. Has a new starter, fuel pump, chrom alternator, and new carburetor. The headers are zoomies that I mounted up side down to give it a cool custom look. The body and bed where primed and then painted with Imron 333 industrial satin red and the doors are satin white and the iron crosses are painted on not a decal. The wind sheeld is lexan 3/16" thick, has a bench seat out of a jeep I believe but not sure. Has a B&M shifter, the wheels are Chevy rallies with salt flat hub caps. The gas tank is made from an old Coors keg and holds 15.5 gal. Electrical is pretty simple as it has brake lights running lights and ignition and start that's it....didn't have turn signals in 1923 so I just use hand signals. It is registered as a 1923 Studebaker and has a clear title. I'm sure I may be forgetting something so if you have questions please ask or call me at 707 888 2745 before you bid and remember that this is a rat rod not fancy show car.....I have a low reserve on the truck and the winning bidder needs to have a bank wire transfer 1000.00 deposit within 48 hrs of auction end and final payment in cash in person or wire transfer to the bank within 5 days of close of auction. Shipping is responsibility of the winning bidder but I can assist in getting the vehicle loaded with your shipper...and once again call if you have any questions or need to see other pictures before you bid...thank you Branden
