Rare look at an early Studebaker light delivery that looks fresh off the assembly line

Note the men on the platforms and the two at the very top dancing in the midst of the wires.
Not sure what the structure is (Budd wheel Co?).

Damaged in shipping?

I find some of the most mundane things interesting...

The factory original documents are often lacking details and procedures to properly maintain or repair older vehicles. Material grades, torque settings, etc. were not well known or well documented for early vehicles. So, I suggest that modern documented repairs also be included to help collector vehicle owners maintain and/or repair their vehicles.
Very good points, Mark... thank you for bringing those to our attention as we often have a tendency not to share details that we think are insignificant at the time, yet are vital to others in need.
Other examples are popular areas of interest such as structure dimensions and exploded views, especially things like roof details, seat or cab dimensions, exploded views of split rims and procedures how to maintain them, etc.. Many of us are visual learners so clear scans or copies of all topics are crucial in guiding us in the process.
Here's a builders sheet from a Ross Roy sales data book that has approximately 800 pages so you can imagine the wealth of information in it. Clear scans are recommended so the reader can zoom in or rotate for more details then the entire contents will be saved and useful to others for generations to come once the scanning process is complete AND the library can continue to fit other larger items with the space saved due to scanned copies.
Other information to support a builders sheet details. Though the dimensions are "approximate", this will no doubt help anyone wishing to restore a Dodge Brothers 1931-33 models UF-10 or F-10 at some point.

Sounds like a great ending and will be in good hands.
Very encouraging that another youngster has an interest for the era as well.I have to admit, this thread made my day.

"Uhh... sorry bro, wrong house, you want my neighbor three doors down"
Seriously though, I love the idea!

I'd like to encourage everyone to donate any factory literature to the AACA via your clubs.
Many of us in the Dodge Brothers Club have made some strides in donating any factory literature or scans to the AACA via our club, but much more work must be done. I would like to openly ask anyone who may not be a DBC member, yet may possess Dodge Brothers car and truck literature or Graham Brothers truck literature to please consider donating originals or copies.
Beyond our club I would obviously encourage anyone else representing all other marques to consider donating as well. At least consider sending copies of what you have so others can be helped at a later date.
Like some of you, I have a passion for research and knowledge regarding our brand. My hope is this will encourage others to get more involved in research and the preservation of factory literature, advertising from the manufacturers, and any other form of era literature that would help to preserve possible missing details that others may be looking for.
Remember, we're all looking for answers... let's help each other.
Thanks for taking the time.
Dave

I am going to be sort of returning it to a fire truck if I get it. The wood farm box won't be coming with it, and I'll likely be fabricating my own period style rear box for it, possibly with a water tank etc.
Love the plan.
Do you know what the wheelbase is?

For Sale - 1948 Dodge B-1-D one ton truck with 230 cubic inch six cylinder engine and manual transmission. This has a solid cab and would make a great parts truck for your restoration. The rear dual axle was removed but is included. Bill of sale and located in Midland, Texas. Asking $2,000 or best offer.
What's the wheelbase and do you have photos of the bed and length?

Looks like a '32 Chevy front bumper that someone has modified by adding the four (homemade?) bumper guards and cutting the mounting bar. Photo attached.
All the Best, Chip
Neat setting and backdrop for that nice 5 window.

Are the bumper guards a generic after market type or were they made for the 32 Chevy? I would think they were made specifically for them since that contour is somewhat unique, although there's probably other bumpers they will fit good.
This is the closest thing I could find to them so far, but no name or indication who the maker was.1930s Bumper Guards 1920s vintage Buick Chevrolet Ford Plymouth Cadillac | eBay

I have a mostly original ‘46 WF32 in need of basic repair or possible total restoration.
ran a few years ago but has electrical problems and I was unable to find parts.
now I’m considering restoring from the ground up.
Anyone have any experience, recommendations or information?

This one?
That Studebaker is located here (as you're exiting the park) if anyone wants to see it while at the old forest.

I now own this car. The red-painted head was an "oopsie"; a mechanic friend of the previous owner pulled the head to replace the head gasket, and before reinstalling the head he did the owner a "favor" and painted the head red.
Congrats, Dan. It looks like a pretty solid buy.
Please keep us posted, three and five window coupes are always a favorite...

I'm asking because I am trying to find out if I can have a key made for the switch I have. Knowing the manufacturer of the lock cylinder and the years they were used would be a great help.
Looks like 1919 & 1920 had them.
Maybe ask the Buick 1919&1920 guys in the Buick section?
I'm guessing the keys were Yale, but they would know for sure. -
Year and a half and no Kegan...
Hope everything is okay.

If anyone out there has a copy, would you be kind enough to see if it mentions the "other" Continental---Continental Engine Co, Chicago and Danville, Il??
They sold engines in competion circa 1905-1913 or so (CECo claimed 1895 as their start), There is at least one trade journal with a 1/2 page ad by one, the other half of the page an ad by the other, both with engine illustrations!!
CECo advertised heavily for awhile, both HO and verticals, and seems to've gone into CycleCars and died out 1913-15 or so.
Don't recall finding any litigation; just idle curiosity.
Just a random search shows both in a 1909 directory together. Since then I've seen several listings of them together.
I'm sure this is the kind of thing that really bugs those who think a motor is electrical (only).

I think he was just pointing out old phrase words by comparison to a old phrase (motor mouth). I doubt 22touring meant anything other wise.
Good advice for all of us no doubt.
