  2. I believe Bob Kapteyn at Joliet Studebaker indicated he had a Rockne engine a while back. Doesn't mean he has it now. http://jolietstudebaker.com/
  3. When my Rockne needed seals I measured the ID, OD and thickness and ordered them from Erie Bearings.
  4. If one is available, I'm sure it could be scanned and 3-D printed at this point.
  5. Just saying, most of the larger Studebaker parts suppliers have their inventory listed by original part number. The "Flying R" cap is obviously identifiable, but the standard cap may fit other models, hence the need for the part number. I believe I do have a spare gas cap for a '32 Model 10, but will have to hunt for it. here. again, does the same part number fit the Model 75?
  6. I installed the one-piece Studebaker accessory three decades ago. Drilled the holes and have had no regrets.
  7. I would start at Big Jim's in Texas. Sun visors and fender skirts are his thing. https://www.carsandstripes.com/directory/big-jims-fender-skirts.html
  8. That "major redesign" was the introduction of it's successor, the entirely new Rockne Six, the least expensive offering from the Studebaker Corporation. Independently designed and engineered by Ralph Vale and Roy Cole, under contract for Willys-Overland. They built two prototypes. When W-O released them from their contract they got to keep the prototypes. The full story is presented by Terry Cannon in the Nov-Dec, 1973 Vol. 3 No. 4 issue of The Antique Studebaker Review, and reasonably reprieved in the Wikipedia article covering the Rockne Automobile.
  9. If our Studebaker vendors are not stocking ignition parts, this guy is. http://special-interest-autos.com/
  10. I didn't think overdrive was factory that early. I thought '36-'37 were remachined by Jerry Kurtz.
  11. Wonder where that was? Photo credited to Cy Latour of Wyncote, Pa. and note it's on a board track. Langhorne near Philly was a dirt and than asphalt track. Were there any tracks closer to Wyncote than the board tack at Tipton near Alroona at that time?
  12. studerex at aol dot com probably has reproduction knobs.
  13. I believe Roy is trying to concentrate his business on converting old radios to modern media, rather than restorations.
  14. 1809-7 is an illustration number. The factory part number is 527807, noted on page 340 of your Chassis Catalog. Since these are needed for a post-war Studebaker, you will get more eyes on your quest if you post it to the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum; this Antique Studebaker page of the AACA Forum is primarily visited by pre-war collectors. Here's the link to the parts wanted page of the SDC Forum. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/sale-want-found-cars
  15. Now you've got me wishing I kept my parts organized. 😬 When I got my Rockne over three decades ago it had the plain cap. I procured a "Flying R" from Lionel Stone and the original is stashed somewhere in a box with other stuff. I am nothing if not not organized.🤪
  16. Part No. 511070 without the Flying R, and 511071 with it, if that helps.
  17. "Old cars are fun and teach us patience!" As well as how to treat our wounds.
  18. Here's a good place to check. https://special-interest-autos.com/
  19. I would like to find the two little butterflies that attach to the cowl and the radiator, and anchor the hood hinge.
  20. With the information given here, unless someone offers one, you can always place a want ad in the Antique Studebaker Club magazine The Antique Studebaker Review. It's a free ad if you are a member, with a fee if you are not.
