Ah-hah! All kinds of goodies on what looks like a pretty original '62 A1. Scroll to the bottom. Anyone know any members in Portland, IN? http://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/studebaker.htm

I will try to get over to Jack's and check out his exhaust. I'm still curious about shifters and now steering wheels. I have a gasser shifter with one bend and a shifter from an A1 that was converted to A2 (the parts truck I got my cab and bed from) and has the two-bend shifter. I guess it's...

I have (negative) experience with flat and semi gloss paints on other vehicles. I'm in the desert, so I get fading and chalking from hard water, etc. Handwashing keeps it down some, but wears the paint off. I want to paint my deuce USMC Semi Gloss Forest Green. I'm thinking about doing it in...

Were you able to retain the paint under the CARC (if there was any)? Thanks

I gotta figure out which way to take my pictures with my phone so they post upright, sorry. I was just gonna get the bed, but I found out the donor was a USMC A1, so I can call it "original" and the cab price came down to "too good to pass up", saved me hours/days of fixing my cab rust. It...

Almost home...

That's not where I live, that's halfway home. I live in a big desert. Soon it will be triple digits during the day and 90s at night. I'll spend The rest of the summer in front of the swamp cooler in the shop with the deuce.

Aw, c'mon, deuces are tiny!

My deuce. All the pics I've seen look to have the same little bolts. The assembled one I posted above is from someone else's.

Thank you, gentlemen! On a bit of a side note, I think my truck is pretty original except the LDS465 and in pretty rough shape. I could swap the frame to get rid of the reinforcements that are welded on, Sprag t case for the air shift I have, and even the cab and sheetmetal, but then is it...

I read on a modeling site about "Nancy" the gun truck that the tail lights were hung from the bed instead of the frame on the early trucks...?

So...I'm supposed to go tomorrow and pick up a $200.00 bed a few hours away. They did have a cab for same $ and have fenders too. But I'm hanging up on the originality thing. If I'm gonna bust my rear on this thing for a year, I kinda want it halfway orginal, even if it's kinda rough. Ach...

Threaded holes in the drum, you could pull it with a puller or use jacking bolts, or even some strategic holes in the backing plate, you could drive the drum off with a bar from the inside. You could still take the hub off too if you wanted to and it wouldn't be so heavy.

Maybe some big gin poles off the back to hang some big weight off of, haha.

I think so too. Probably why they just gave you a little inspection hole in the drum. It would be nice if a guy could get in there without going though all that work though, say if you just did bearings etc., and something wasn't right with the brakes. DH, no, this is the farm-abused water...

Rusty knows what I'm taking about. I think Toyota have them too. Might be able to knock it off with the hub still on there, but I dunno. First thing in the AM.

I removed all the little nuts and knocked the drum off the hat that is inboard after I removed the hub from the spindle. If there were jacking bolts (threaded holes in the drum between the mounting holes), one could remove the drum from the hat and service the brakes without draining oil, etc.
