1937hd45 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Whatever it was it had a very nice deluxe box added to the back with railings. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevyguy57 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 My Grandfather started Saskatoon Welding in Saskatchewan then my Grandfather traveled to Edmonton, Alberta for oilfield work. Eventually he opened a shop in Edmonton moving the family there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargoguy Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I agree with the Studebaker identification- 1923 Big Six would be my guess- are there any other existing pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevyguy57 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 This is the only one of that truck, next one was a 56 Chev truck. I looked at a picture of a 1923 Studebaker and is looks very like. Being a welding shop I imagine they built the box them selves. Thank you very much for the help.

1937McBuick Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I was going to comment on the fact they were a welding shop and probably heavily modified it for hauling. Even with a front view I couldn't identify it unless there was a grill badge to give its identity away. Not my era. And my era is very narrow. Nice to see "Saskatoon" being highlighted.

58L-Y8 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The Studebaker Big Six was a popular chassis for truck conversions. The Big Six is 354 cu.in. displacement, among the largest sixes and being a medium-priced car, ubiquitous and cheap as a used car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
