X-Frame Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Does anyone have the frame (chassis) diagram with dimensions for the 1936-1937 Dictator model and can post here or send a PM? Any help appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I just happened to have a detail photo of the 1937 President chassis in the Studebaker National Museum front lobby that someone asked me to take showing the water pump installation, don't know if it shows anything you are trying to determine with chassis prints.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Frame Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for the photos but there seem to be as many different chassis designs as there are model series. The Dictator has a completely different one than that of the President but is nice to look at.

X-Frame Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Now that we have the 1937... does anyone have one for 1936 as there are differences between the two years according to the sales brochure art.Thanks again!Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Frame Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Going to bubble this one back to the top hoping that someone has the Dictator chassis diagram for 1936, like the one that was given here for the 1937 model. The two seem to be different. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 If you buy a 1936 service manual it will have all 4 different chassis with dimentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not restoring the cars, I am writing a book Just hoping in the spirit of "sharing" people who already have the books collecting dust will share.Thanks.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
