1922bigsix

I have a 1921 Studebaker that is in original condition and I would like to keep it that way. Most of the paint is gone, although it remains in places. Much of the surface has a rusty look that I would like to preserve as the car looks like it was traveling to California in the dust bowl days. I am looking for suggestions on conserving the surface, not restoring it. I thought about clear coat or wax as possibilities. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has a solution to this problem. Thanks Tom Imig

Ask one of your kids to take some digital pictures and post them using Attach FIles. Tom

Thanks for the information. Tom

The valve guides are Studebaker part number 16727 are are shown in the parts manual in figure 3. I would like to buy three in new or excellent used condition. Sincerely, Tom Imig

I need help in identifying these hydroelecric switches. Thanks TOm

Is the fabric brake band material used in early 1920's studebakers available from a vendor?

Thank you for the ID. Maybe I can convince my wife that it is a beautiful example of early 20th century industrial art.

Is this a Studebaker rear end? I would appreciate any help with a more certain and specific identification. Tom Photos at the following site: Studebaker Rear End pictures by classicdcn - Photobucket

I would like to buy a copy of V33 #6 of the Antique Studebaker Review. Please contact me if you are willing to part with your copy. Thanks Tom Imig

Where is the VIN plate located on this car? Thanks Tom

I am in the process or replacing the transmission case on a 1922 Studebaker EL/EK. I want to replace the felt grease shields but don't know where to get replacements. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, tom

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Removal of the flange from the transmission drive shaft in my 1922 Studebaker big six required a lot of torque on the gear puller. The flat part of the flange that bolts to the propeller shaft is no longer perfectly flat and must have been slightly bent during removal. How can this be repaired? Remachining or hydraulic press? I would appreciate any recommendations as I am only a novice. Thanks. Tom

Olson's gaskets sells this and there is one for sale on ebay.

There are some for sale on ebay under studebaker parts

I bent a stud when removing the head. Is a "3 1/2 x 7/8 20 threads per inch on each end" stud available? If not, should I straighten the stud and use it? Tom

I have a 1922 studebaker with a van sicklen speedometer that needs some attention. I've removed three screws that mount it to the wooden dash board but it is still held in place. I am wondering if anyone has removed one of these and could give me some advice. Thanks Tom

Look on ebay or the studebaker forum for flexible discs. There are some for sale.

I have a 1922 big six that is missing a horn button. Where can I find a picture of one? Are horn buttons for all models interchangeable? Any assistance would be appreciated. Tom

Its close but I'll keep looking. Thanks

The wing screw I need is pictured below. It is just a bit over 1 1/2" wingtip to wingtip, and about 1 1/2" long. I thought it was made of steel but it is nonmagnetic. Maybe stainless? I didn't think it looked like brass when I ran a die over the threads. Thread size is 5/16" - 24.

I am very interested. How might I receive a CD with the Images?

How were running boards trimmed for the big six / special six. The pictures that I have seen appear to show gray linoleum. How were the edges trimmed? Mine has replaced wooden running boards with steel L shaped edging abutting the body, front and back fenders. Perhaps the steel is original. There is nothing on the outside and I'm wondering what it should be. Tom
