1929 Studebaker Dictator Drivetrain


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine hot rodded a 1929 Dictator 4 door sedan(I know....how could he) and has many of the original parts. He has a complete engine with all the accessories that was running at the time it was taken out of the car. He also has the transmission, front end and I believe the rear end also. I have offered to take pictures of the items but do not have them yet. We are located on Long Island, N.Y. and all parts would have to be picked up. There may be additional parts but I have not been in the shed lately to check them out. If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Thanks,

Chris

Studebaker offered both a Six (model GL) and an Eight (model FC) on the Dictator chassis in 1929-30. Knowing which engine your friend has would help. You might also want to consider running a free ad in the Antique Studebaker Review. Would like to see the engine and misc parts saved.

Chris, how much are you wanting for the transmission on its own? Also there should be a number cast in to the drivers side just below the top plate holding the gearshift lever. Can you please let me know what the number is. Does this transmission have the E brake on the rear operated by a transmission brake drum or is it operated by cables back to the rear wheels?

Do you have a contact number?

Regards

Wayne Smith

I have 1928 dictator but the engine block is rusted out. I am looking at buying the engine on this thread. The block itself looks the same despite some differences with mounting auxiliary's. Will this GL block fit my GE? I have to frieghtt it t Australia so I need to be reasonably sure. Thanks. Damien

I don't mind selling to California but cannot pallet and ship it myself. If you can find a company that will pallet and ship the rear end, I could deliver it to that location for a delivery charge. I am located on Long Island, New York. Specifically, Northport in Suffolk county area code 11768. If you can find I place close to us, I can get it to them.Chris
