FOR SALE: 1949 Studebaker 2R10 3/4 Ton Long Bed Pick Up Truck
This truck was purchased in 2001 from the original owner
in New Mexico.
This 120 wheel base, 8 ft. bed truck was brought to
Newport Beach, California for restoration in 2002.
By 2004, the original 170 cu in engine was overhauled by the now defunct SOC (Studebaker of
Orange County) and included
regrinding the crankshaftinstalling new main bearings0.030 re-bore and new pistonsSST valve guides (it can run on unleaded) with a complete valve jobrebuild radiator along with new fuel pump, water pump and hoses. SOC installed a new main wire harnessconvert it from +6V to -12V replaced the generator with an alternatorrewound the starter for 12 Vall the break and fuel lines were replacednew king pin bushings were installedthe gas tank was removed, cleaned and sealeda NOS master break cylinder installed all break shoes and wheel cylinders were renewed
In short the
entire fuel and braking system plus everything from the radiator to the
flywheel plus the main electrical system have been redone.
The tires
are 7.50R16 steel belted radials (with tubes) mounted on the original split rims. The drive train has approximately 200 miles
of running since the rebuild.
The rest of the truck is all original as it
came off the farm. This truck is equipped with the original non synchro, spur
gear, HD 4 speed T9 transmission. The
body is very solid with only minor surface rust due to its prior 50 years of living near Mule Shoe, TX. Included in the deal are a few yet to be
installed extras: cab heater, vintage exterior sun visor, and a better front
bumper.
Many things have changed in my life since 2004 and this
truck will not be making it onto the new priority list. While it runs, is street legal and is
currently licensed and registered and can be driven for demo purposes, I would
not recommend a drive-it-away pickup and suggest it needs to be trailered to a good mechanic to
certify it for regular road use and to get any kinks out.
Regarding money and terms:
The CA title is clear. There is no warranty, so it is sold as-is, where-is. A $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal is required within 24 hr. of winning the auction, with the full balance to be paid within 72 hrs. The vehicle will become your property upon payment.
If you determine upon inspection (at its
current location) that the truck is SUBSTANTIALLY different than as described or
per the photos, then a full refund will be granted. It is 100% your responsibility to arrange for
appropriate towing or transportation, but I will gladly allow you up to 30 days
free parking to make all arrangements. If the vehicle is not removed within 30 days of the purchase date, it
will be parked on the street and will become subject to local laws regarding
removal of abandoned vehicle at your cost as the new owner.

just ask.
