Underbody paint color???
Were the undersides of 72's painted/undercoated from the factory? If painted, was the body color used or were they all painted black? Tried a forum search but must not be using proper terminology.
Thanks for any help.

floor pan paint
From the looks of the 8,000 mile truck in this thread, they were just primed.

My 70 crew has a purple color primer underneath, with the Acapoco Gold green as the topside color with a repaint to a Cat yellow color, but it had the dealer undercoating applied which is starting to fall off, but it has no rust on it, even though it was a construction co. truck.

Rich - believe you've answered my question - thank you as well. I'm gonna just put undercoating and leave it at that.

The underside of the bed, cab, inside the fenders and etc would be painted whatever the exterior body color was...in acrylic enamel.
If the truck is tu-toned, these parts would be painted in the primary color. If you don't know what that is, post the COLOR code off the Warranty Plate.
The frame was painted semi-gloss black japan acrylic enamel.
Acrylic enamel was introduced in 1960, 1925/59 FoMoCo vehicles were painted with Duco enamel, some with Duco lacquer.
Prior to 1925, vehicles were not painted, they were varnished.
Undercoating was dealer installed.

When I was there, the owner gave me an 'oven mitt' with their name on it. I just looked, couldn't find it. It's around here somewhere, but in this menagerie, who knows where somewhere is.
btw: I wonder how many Georgians knew that the Union Army bought most of their wagons and gun carriages from Studebaker.

If you can get into the basement of that hardware store, it's loaded with all sorts of old timey "goodies" including some Studebaker wagon parts.

I'll make sure to try. A good friend is head of the bank there - maybe he "knows somebody"!
I've been looking for YEARS to try and find a childs wagon that was made by Studebaker back in the 40's - 50's. It was a miniature buckboard wagon. I had one when I was a kid - it was pulled by a goat my Dad bought.
I have a picture of it, but have never seen another one like it - and I've searched everywhere.

I've seen them in person and...Goat Wagon was exactly what they were called.
The goat wagons were made by Studebaker for decades, but Studebaker went out of the business of making wagons in 1920, then just concentratred on cars/trucks.
You want a goat wagon, try: studebakerdriversclub.com
There is someone reproducing them...I've seen ads in the club's publication Turning Wheels in the classified section. You might even luck out and find an original for sale.
Another source of info would be the Studebaker Museum, located in South Bend, IN
When/if looking for old stuff, contact me...I'm a scrounger, so I know where all sorts of stuff is besides Ford truck bed rails.
I even know where a few LeMat's are...which were used by both sides in the Civil...uh...The War for the Southern Confederacy.

Thanks Bill. I have been to the Studebaker museum site and was on the forum site a time or two, but never saw a wagon like the one I had. It was literally a miniature buckboard with spring seat. Had a horn attached to it also.
I'll check these sites again and see if I run up on something.
On a side note - you being a scrounger and all - have you ever seen a "syphillis syringe"? (I hope not)

[QUOTE=Phil105;9231003]Thanks Mike, but I'm talking about the underside of the truck - not the top side...
You didn't read far enough into the thread; he's got pics of the bottom of both the cab and box showing plain red oxide primer with main color overspray.

yeah, I've gotten a nasty habit of "scanning" - sorry
I'm not a member of that site and the photos didn't show as I "don't have permission"

Factory photo's I have showing the assembly process show cabs being painted complete, ditto for beds.
The cabs had the doors installed later down the assembly line. Then the cab was dropped onto the frame, the bed (if applicable) came next.
