A mechanic's garage in a small town near where I live has a 38 Dictator sitting out in the elements... he bought it last year for a steal... but I think he thinks it is worth a fortune... anyway... he is a collector of sorts... up until he bought this car, it was kept indoors in a barn or garage... now he has it outback of his shop and left it there all winter... I almost cry everytime I drive by it. I tried to make a deal with him on it... but he seemed uninterested in anything other than my "best" car... which is on the road... not worth it to me, but almost....

The skiny on the car... before winter this past year... the body was VERY solid... the interrior was ratty and it wouldn't run... I have since learned that the car has a broken transmission and something else... but the engine is good.

If anyone wants info on this car, let me know.. It is my favorite Stude of all time next to the 40... I just cannot swing it and I DON'T want to see it chopped.. and that is exactly what he will do... rod it or let it rot...

I have been all over th eweb, seriously... multiple times...
I recently bought 2 40 commander 4 dr sedans... One of them, originally from Arizona, via Georgia to me...
I have seen a lot of hood trim for the 40's.. and I know the 40 was unique in many ways...

My question is this... the top nose trim (that runs down the center of the hood) is stainless steel... all of the other 40's I have seen have plain flat trim... Including my other 2.

But on one of my cars, there is a raised section and a "slot" where an acrylic (?) ornament goes.... I have th epiece and it is definitely "aged" and goes to that slot.

Was this an original option? Or is the hood from a different year? The hood is "original" it is Studebaker and the center line trim was NOT customized to make it fit.... the hood itself is the correct size for the car also.

So what is the deal with this weird trim on the hood?

Any help or direction would be great!

It has a complete six-cylinder engine, transmission, cowl and dash, basically the front half of the car. Has sat outside for many years. The exhaust manifold is cracked.

I bought it to use the frame under another car, so the rest of it is surplus and I'd be willing to part it out if anyone needs pieces.

I haven't run the numbers/cowl tag data but it appears to be a Commander based on looking at photos.

Appears to have a Mack Truck rearend in it, also. ]]> Pontiac59 http://forums.aaca.org/f126/1930-studebaker-parts-sale-350535.html rod babbit clearance 1915 sd4 http://forums.aaca.org/f126/rod-babbit-clearance-1915-sd4-350531.html Sun, 05 May 2013 13:54:00 GMT Hi Guys What should the rod babbit clearance be for my 1915 SD4 Hi Guys

I have the screw that sets the octane selector removed and the clamp screw entirely out. It is now about an 1/8th of an inch further out and will not go back in and will not come all the way out either. Do I need to spread the clamp further?

But I am brave and try to tackle most projects with hope. I found that my front u-joint has a lot of "play", and would explain the vibration when getting to 30-35 mph. Am asking if anyone has replaced their u-joints and could give me some words of wisdom. It appears that the casing that houses the u-joint and the yoke will need to be removed. Mine is breaking up, and is split almost all the way around. I can see inside and there is a spring visible. I have taken the 6 bolts loose that holds the casing, but don't seem to see how it comes off. Something else has to come off first. If you have "been there and done that", you will know what I mean, and can probably help me take the next step. I am hoping you won't tell me the drive shaft has to come down from the rear axle. I would appreciate beyond words any insight you can give me. This can't be that difficult, once one knows what to do.... Thanks in advance for anyone who responds.
