1949 Farm Truck
Gary Parham bought this rare 1949 Studebaker farm truck for 250 bucks about ten years ago and spent the next five years restoring it. Gary extended the front fenders down four and a half inches and lowered the bed skirt. He dropped in a 400 Chevy small block with a 350 turbo tranny and 9″ rear. It’s also got a Mustang-2 front suspension. The color is “Old So Orange”. Gary owns a flooring company so the bed is lined with Cherry and Walnut. You don’t see many Studebaker trucks, but you will on The PowerBlock September 29 & 30.

Joe’s daughter Kacie picked out the color; Lime Twist. Now it may look like Mopar colors, but it’s a Chevy true and true. See it on The Powerblock September 22 & 23.
