1952 Studebaker 2R5 Cargo Truck

Description

302 CI Ford Engine, Auto
$248/month *See finance page for disclaimer

1952 Studebaker 2R5 Cargo Truck -

The 1952 Studebaker Cargo Truck was part of Studebaker's 2R Series produced from 1949 to 1953. The 2R Series trucks blended utility with distinctive car-like styling.

Fully Restored 2R5 with Upgrades –

This 1952 Studebaker Cargo truck has been fully restored and mildly customized for fun and function. The solid, straight cab/body received a careful respray in 2016 and is outstanding. All vinyl signage lettering is easily removable (assuming you do not plan to provide Studebaker Parts/Service). Add a 2-piece windshield, classic grill, chrome/stainless accents and old-school 15” steel wheels with full wheel covers and the result is a great look. The custom interior was also very well thought-out. A comfortable pair of Ford Escort EXP bucket seats are upholstered with red fabric, and the refinished dash houses a mix of factory and AutoMeter gauges. The original Studebaker 'Climatizer' heater is fully functional, and all window glass is in good condition (side windows are tinted). The cargo section of the panel truck is carefully revived and features a custom vinyl convertible roof with marine fiberglass bows, swing-out tailgate, (3) vinyl curtains, custom carpeting and a spalted 'ambrosia maple' floor w/aluminum bed strips.

Powered by Dependable 302ci Ford Windsor –

The detailed engine compartment is home for a '80s Ford 302ci Windsor. The engine has been rebuilt to stock specs and is equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and Ford Duraspark ignition (with spare module). Cooling is managed by an HD radiator with Chrysler 'pusher' fan, and all electrics have been converted to a 12-volt system. The Windsor is backed by a Ford AOD 4-speed automatic transmission and 8.8” differential. This is a solid, dependable drivetrain.

Serious Chassis Modifications -

The 2R5-12 Studebaker chassis is fitted with beam front suspension and manual steering. New Eaton-Detroit HD front leaf springs/shocks have been installed, and the rear leaf springs have been slightly lowered. New bushings and Stengel u-joints have been installed. The braking system has been upgraded with a dual master cylinder and a new Turner front disc brake conversion package. Rear brakes are drum units, and the original 18-gallon Studebaker fuel tank is in outstanding condition.

This is a very rare Studebaker Cargo truck that will not be in our inventory long.
