Once in a lifetime barn find!
Plenty of patina that only a Colorado truck could offer.
This 99% original Studebaker is the perfect starting point for a restoration, hot rod, rat rod or resto mod build. Cab corners, steps and other normal rust spots typically found on these 50's trucks are in excellent condition!
Rust sure, rust thru, no!
75, 738 miles!
$5, 500 or best
This truck has the perfect amount of rust. The cab is in fantastic shape, doors operate the way they should, all the gauges are intact, wiring ect. My plans were for a tube chassis and some serious HP but honestly this is too nice of a truck to go any other direction besides restoration in my opinion. Colorado truck for most of its life if not all of it. Ft. Collins and then to Steamboat Springs where it was saved from a farm.
Originally Gray with brown interior and red wheels with pin stripes this is a truly hard to find in this condition.
Ran when stored and taken off the road. Last plate shows 1997 tag. Truck has a rebuilt battery and a some new plugs. wires need to be replaced I'm sure and next in the diagnosis chain. I started to dig into this project and haven't had the time to designate to it like I would have hoped so my loss and your gain. Wiring seems fully intact minus the starter wire(still needs to be redone ultimately.) Lights work, motor turns over by hand or by power but doesn't want to kick. I do not have the keys so that might have something to do with it.

The only spot of rust thru is at the very front the of the bed and it is a very small amount! The cab steps are in excellent condition, floor boards, engine bay, bed are all in great shape. Truck does have dents and dings, please see pictures and ask any questions you may come up with. Nothing anyone wouldn't expect from a 66 year old truck that was used as a truck but most of it can be easily fixed or adds that much more character if you decide to leave the patina. Driver rear fender is the worst shape out of them all and the only one that may be cheaper/easier to replace but still fixable with a little more body/collision repair knowledge. Two large dents are no biggie but the lower corners of that fender are rusted out. Rear fenders can be sourced for roughly $2-300
Please feel free to send me your phone number and I would be happy to talk about the truck or simply send me an email! Truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.
Thank you for looking.
