1947 STUDEBAKER M5 PICKUP TRUCK THE TRUCK I HAVE UP FOR AUCTION IS RUNNING & DRIVING AND CURRENTLY REGISTERED HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS BELOW THE CURRENT CONDITION AND ALSO THE WORK THAT I HAVE DONE IN THAT TIME.ALL OF THE DRIVE TRAIN IS STOCK AND CAN GET THIS TRCUK UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN FROM MT BALDY, CALIFORNIA. TAKE A LOOK ON GOOGLE EARTH TO SEE THE DRIVE! IT DOES NOT BREAK RECORDS ON THE DRIVE UP THE HILL BUT SHOWS IT IS A GOOD RUNNING TRUCK. YOU CAN NOT BUY A PAINT JOB THIS COOL! THE TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE LIVED MANY MANY YEARS IN WILLISTON, NORTH DAKOTA. AS YOU CAN READ ON THE DOORS "WEST BROADWAY SERVICE" AND JUST BELOW THAT "WILLISTION,ND" IT HAS A COMPLETELY REBUILT BRAKE SYSTEM. NEW LINES ALL THE WAY AROUND, A DUAL MASTER CYLINDER, STAINLESS STEEL SLEEVED ORIGINAL REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS, NEW LININGS AND THE REAR HUBS WERE TURNED TO ACCEPT NEW CHEVY BRAKE DRUMS. IN THE FRONT I INSTALLED A TURNER DISC BRAKE KIT. USING HIS BOLT ON BRACKETS, BRAND NEW WILWOOD ALUMINUM CALIPER AND NEW ROTORS AND WHEEL BEARINGS. I RETAINED THE ORIGINAL WHEELS SO YOU CAN NOT TELL THE BRAKES ARE NOT STOCK UNLESS YOU GET UNDER THE TRUCK. THE FRONT WHEELS WERE TAKEN APART AND RE-WELDED FOR THE CORRECT OFFSET. IF YOU WERE DEAD SET ON A STOCK RESTORATION THE ORIGINAL PARTS WOULD BOLT RIGHT BACK UP. I PULLED THE GAS TANK AND CLEANED IT OUT AND INSTALLED A NEW FUEL LINE. THE CARB WAS REBUILT BY BFIC IN BURBANK,CA. I BOUGHT A REAR BUMPER BUT HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT. I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS WITHOUT IT. BUT THE BUMPER GOES WITH THE TRUCK.I HAVE NOS U-JOINTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED YET. ALSO GOING WITH THE TRUCK ARE THE ORIGINAL WIPER MOTORS (2) THAT NEED TO BE REBUILT AND INSTALLED. THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES, BOLTS AND BUSHINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THE REAR TAILLIGHT IS A 1930 FORD LIGHT WITH A GLASS LENS, LOOKS GOOD BUT NOT ORIGINAL. the shift lever has a non stock polished aluminum knob, the light switch and ignition switch are all from so cal speed shop.you still start the truck with the stock clutch actuated switch, which is also brand new. WHAT DOES IT NEED??- NEW TIRES, I AM DRIVING ON ONES THAT ARE FROM THE 60'S I BET.- MOTOR MOUNTS, THE ONES IN THE TRUCK ARE WORN OUT.- THE SPEEDO MAKES NOISE, THE OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMP GAUGES DO NOT FUNCTION.- ALL OF THE LIGHT WORK, EXCEPT THE PARKING LIGHT THAT NEED NEW BULBS.- FRONT SPRING BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED.- THE DRIVES SIDE DOOR GLASS IS BROKEN AND THE CHROME STRIP IS MISSING.
