Selling my 1959 Studebaker 1/2 ton C-cab pick-up with 3 speed and overdrive. It is 12 volt - comes with good battery. Has electric wiper motor, heater, spare tire and rim. Has 4 radial Cooper tires with only about 20 miles on them - been in my garage all the time I owned it. Usually had a dead car in front of garage so unable to drive it much. Drove it to a few local Studebaker chapter events with no problem. Have not tried the overdrive. Upgraded with Studebaker optional window distributor so you can set points easily with a hex key. Easy to work on dashboard instruments and wiring - no need to lay on floor and try to work up on overhead . Here just open the hood and all wiring and instruments are access in front of you on open panel at convenient height.Hubcaps are newer fancy Stude car - truck hubcaps are incredibly plain. This was last year before they went to Lark based Champ truck with the poor fitting bed. A fun truck needing some work. No dents but some rust spots on rear fenders largest about size of a lime - see photo. Windshield has crack - non obscuring. Comes with over $1000 in extra or new parts : new water pump, muffler, recored radiator ( $ 500:) carb kit, , new brake components. The four radial tires. Paint has some bubbling, but no dents, no headliner. Engine has spin-on oil filter - much cleaner and easier than old style canister filter. Running fun truck with V-8 and 3 speed on column and overdrive make it a usable vehicle. ( Don't try to make me an offer after the auction or off Ebay)Please only bid if you want the truck..
