What was the first year for Rockwells ? 1953? I'm looking at a 53 M35 Studebaker and I suppose it's got the Ball and claw style axles. Are these worth a hoot? Is it going to cost just as much to upgrade the axles as it is to find the U joint style axle?

Rehab is for quitters ! Bob another truck. Then maybe you won't have enough cash around for the smokes !

because it's mine and I can do what ever I want with it, that's why. For those of you with no imagination or means to create something with some personal flare, drive a stock, slow, noisy, turd Deuce like the other 40,000 guys

yes. trimmed the fenders and rerouted the exhaust. Along with a 2 1/2 inch spring lift the 16 x 20's clear

looks like a rod...don't see anything "rat" about it

I used a 20k on the rear powered off of the transfer case. Fits nicely between the frame rails and underneath the bed.

my version I used 24V Helicopter landing lights

too bright for underneath to show up. here are a couple tho...

...and it is HUGE ! It's hard to tell how much of a giant it is without some perspective. I parked my Bobber with 52's next to it and my Bobber looks rather wimpy.

So would this be the truck often referred to as a "Tank Retriever" ?

I've never seen 24 inch wheels. Is this a stock tractor? Looks like a V8 too.

do you know what the differences are? does it rotate the "other" way like a M211?

Depends on what you consider practical. Where you live makes a big difference too. I use mine as a daily driver. I live in a very rural area and have 3 miles of dirt and 15 miles of paved two lane hiway to town. I alternate between it and my 61 K10. My M35 has 52's, air ride seats and rear...
