After an agonizing day at work yesterday, I arrived home to the sight of a big
green truck parked in my yard. While this is commonplace for some of you, I'm
new to the game and it's a darn impressive sight!
Specifically it was listed as a 1953 Studebaker M35A2. Apparently it's had
updates over the years, including a multi-fuel engine. There's tons and tons I
need to learn. I don't even know what I don't know.
The bad news, one tire is flat. It must have a problem with the tube as it
won't even start to inflate. There is no spare. One of the batteries is stone
dead, I'll try charging it tonight. It's missing a lens from a rear light.
Missing the speedometer (must have had tritium hands?)
On the brighter side, the bows and top for the bed are intact although there
are no troop seats. No major rust issues. The tank is full of something that
smells like diesel.
Any recommendations for favorite parts sources are greatly appreciated. I'm
close to Coleman's in PA but their website doesn't list a whole lot of deuce
parts.
It's going to be a fun summer project, that's for sure!
