New to the garage!
Hope this is OK to post to the 48-56 forum. Do to my back/leg problems I sold the 49 F3 - just not enough room for these messed up legs to get to the brake pedal with any consistency so it had to go. Sold the farm and the three car garage as I couldn't maintain the 12 acres any longer. Sold the tractor too!
Well being bored and driving my wife crazy I found something with enough leg room to work with messed up legs. It isn't a pickup or a 48-56 Ford but I really like it.
!938 State Commander Studebaker !
It is a survivor - suppose to be original paint except for the hood.
6 cyl flathead completely rebuilt, rebuilt trans and clutch, redone brakes, fuel tank, carb, radiator, new windshield, new rubber on front & rear windows, trunk and front vent. The interior is original and needs to be replaced but the headliner is good. Has the original radio and I have the receipt for it being fixed but not hookedup. Has the original speaker mounted above the windscreen.
I need to do a little buffing and cleanup but no real body work or mechanical work to do. The seat won't move forward or back so I need to pull it out and get the tracks cleaned up and working.
It's big, suicide doors on rear doors, runs and stops well and I hope to have a lot of fun with it.
Hope it is OK to still stay on the FTE forum. Dave S

Parts are going to be a challenge but I have found the people that purchased the old Studebaker warehouse stock.
