When I was looking for my classic pickup, I was after either a Ford or a Stude. There are tons of Studes around and they have a very clean, simple styling, look awesome when done right. I wouldn't turn down a CornBinder either, but have no use for the '40's Dodges -- too small a cab. What do you think of this?

LOL...a Country Club Nash...I had one years ago. Turn the key...pull back on the shift lever to start, or was the starter switch under the clutch pedal like your soon to be 1947 Stude has? Can't remember.
Bill, my 55 is a Cross County, the little wagon.
Yes, the Stude has a small H core under the seat. It will warm mama's buns.Jon

Anyone one ever see a Powell truck? They were sold in the early 1950's. The manufacturer used frames and drivetrains from 1941 Plymouth sedans. The body was unique for the time. It was one of the first, if not the first to have an integral bed/cab.

Bill,

I think I've seen pics of a Powell. They were kind of small and boxy weren't they? Sliding windows instead of roll down windows?

That's a Powell. I've seen three, all were dark blue.

To say they were spartan is an understatement.

Dodge could get away with the smaller cab because the owner was forced to drive it and no one else would want to be seen in it....no need for passenger space.
