This 1953 Studebaker needs a little bit of work, and it's missing a lot of parts. I'll get a better idea of the extent of the project once it's in the yard, but if it does get fixed up there won't be a whole lot of original parts on it other than maybe the crane, frame, and springs.
All of the sheet metal from the bed forward is junk. I didn't even look under the hood but it hasn't run in decades and the radiator is gone. I'm sure the engine is stuck. The transmission and front winch PTO are gone, the transfer case is there but the rear PTO and crane driveshaft are gone. The rear axles each are missing one axle shaft and the front axle is stuck and has water in it. The crane part doesn't look too bad except for the hydraulics, I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked in at least 30 years.
