1952 Studebaker

1952 Studebaker - $39,500 - Fredericksburg, TX - Ever seen an innocent looking Studebaker pickup with amazing Supercharged V-8 power? Well this Stude has an attitude! This fully restored R2 pickup is absolutely beautiful! It is packed with a blown 259 c.i.d V-8 and a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. It has a sleek body with show quality Burnt Orange paint and stealth looks. It is a high quality restoration throughout including an immaculate steel bed. This truck is extremely unique with disc brakes, Positraction rear end, excellent body, interior, and chassis. Every time I walk past this truck I cannot believe how cool it is. It rides on a stock chassis, with steel wheels, wide white wall tires, complete new high performance aluminum exhaust, and nice/clean hardware. The exhaust sounds terrific. Sound more like a muscle car than a pickup for sure. The immaculate interior is beautiful. Look closely at the headliner. We have only had one or two Studebaker trucks in our 15 year history so I do not know if that is stock or custom with all those pleats. It looks great. A chrome shifter, column mounted tachometer, matching custom painted dash, bench seat, and full gauge pack is included. It is mostly stock without a bunch of modifications and the dash was left alone. If you have been looking at trucks and want to really get some jaws dropping at the next car show or cruise night, consider this R2. As I said it is very unique, ready to show, drive, and enjoy. It only has 6679 miles since the restoration so it still is quite fresh. Financing, insurance, and delivery are easily available.

Kudo's to the guy for keeping it all Stude drive train, , ...but shame on you for thinking that you can get rich from it. :naughty:

Even bigger kudos for routing the exhaust the way he did, though he loses points for the glasspacks. :dgt:

If you look closer you'll see that they look to be Flowmaters turned on edge.

And like you pointed out, the routing is a work of art, how both pipes go to the passengers side and then one loops over the driveshaft back to the drivers side.

Yes, but the driver's side pipe is the one that exits the passenger's side of the truck. He did his best for equal-length exhaust for both banks... and therein lies the art of which I spoke.

You're right... I wasn't concentrating much on the mufflers when I looked at the pic, it was more on the sexy pipe layout. I'll bet it sounds pretty cool, though from a performance standpoint I'm not a big fan of chambered mufflers.

I'll bet it sounds pretty cool,

Kinda makes me think of my brothers 49 ford truck. They both have what I would consider a lack of cubic inches, 259 vs 239, though the Stude IS charged, you still need cubic torque to move a heavy truck. :huh: The Stude, having stock manifolds, I don't think would have a distintive bark. How much noise can you possibly get from those small valves? But it still probably sounds a lot bigger than 259ci.
