I"m 63 years old.When I was a kid my 1 buddy & i were totally into cars & trucks.We alway"s went to junk yards for our parts.Our favorite place was Kober"s junk yard.Montana mountain,Warren county NJ.It was a huge,sprawling,hilly place,was a junk yard since I think the 1930"s or so.The owner had 2 of those Studes,just like yours.Torches & tools in one,the other was a wrecker.Junkyard was totally organized by year & model.He"d take you out in one of these to get your stuff.The good old day"s.Old fashioned junk yard.You pull it or he"d help you.Even had a running firetruck with a hose in the pond,ready to go at all times.You brought back some great memories.
My Dad, WW2, retold me a story many times about the famed.."Red Ball Express"..truckers and and trucks hauling supplies to assist the breakout from Normandy beaches...every time i see these old trucks i think of that true story..look it up folks..part of history that needs to be remembered..
Now that’s a low gear! Much like the granny gear in an old Willy’s jeep. I bet it could still crawl through the snow and slush while hauling a literal ton of scrap on the back. Such a loyal and very capable old workhorse!
I always enjoy seeing you playing with your toys. I look forward to your next videos. Just keep those old girls running. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for next video.
Oh boy ! Taking the Studebaker out to get some exercise ! I don’t know how many US6 trucks we kept for ourselves during WWll as most went to lend lease to the USSR but it was every bit as strong as the chevys and gmc trucks . It had to be a real tough truck since the snow and mud had to be real tough in their war zone I would guess . This truck is a good runner and will no doubt serve you well . Won’t even need a Tera low gear set ! You sure did right by keeping it accessible in the event it’s called into service for a tow . Starts good and runs well . As good as a 4.0 liter jeep engine is for the long haul , can we say a 4.0 will serve its owner as long as these engines did ? I don’t know exactly which trucks were used on the Alaskan highway back then but I would think that at least some Studebaker trucks were on hand for work and travel . Sure would make a great commercial ; Studebaker trucks , built Alaskan tough ! See your Studebaker dealer today ! I wonder what would happen if Studebaker didn’t evolve into American motors . Would Studebaker have built the Jeep CJ5 ? Hmmm …..
Hey Brother! They can't even come close to making them like this anymore. Goes to show that the more 'technology' they put into some things, the WORSE it gets! Thank you for showing things from back in the days of INTEGRITY!
Such an old sweetheart, been a fan since Alaska Trucker ended up with it. You made mention the DC3 specific tubes are hard to find, and I'm sure they are. Seems many are using 1200x20 tubes for those now(when not used on vintage aircraft), still common on forklifts, just in case that info helps. Cheers, from New Hampshire.
Love it I'm so glad to see it still doing what it was built to do, so impressive to see 1940's tech still working. Trucks today can't do that even when they are new it would climb a tree if it had traction Thank You for sharing keep your awesome content coming till next time good bye snow !!!!
The truck was calling out to us saying give me a windshield and one headlight please and make my lights work and take me farther up the road and have fun with me that's what I'm here for now retirement is for fun and I think I've earned retirement thank you mr. Studebaker
I think the majority of those Studebaker trucks got shipped to Russia during the war where it's been reported that the Russian troops loved them. Those airplane tires are quite the innovation.
That transfer case seal has cable bound up around it, the winch marks on the drive line you showed says that thing has eaten a cable like an old Kirby vacuum swallowing it's own cord!
What a great truck and I can't wait to see more videos on this and all the other trucks. Crawled through the snow like it wasn't there.... would like to see what it takes to get it stuck. Thanks for the video
I don't think that old Studebaker would win any speed races, but if the bet was to see what truck could pull down a house fastest, I know where my money's going!
The rear tires look taller than the front tires. When the front axel is engaged do you get wheel spin due to the different rolling radius of the front and rear tires?
Thanks for panning over the 'transmission plate', Would definitely take me some time to get used to that shift pattern! Is that standard in trucks of this age?
I would imagine if you twinned the front wheels, she would ride up over the snow rather than sinking down. Much like the rear balloon tyres are behaving.
Man . as long as I trully respect your work - I just can"t imagine why on earth would anyone live in place where snow is on ground in May 🤦 have you got women that dress nicely in Alaska ????
If things nowadays where built to last and be rebuilt there would be no reason for all the garbage that comes out ev this ev that things built to last and be rebuilt are 100x better than any ev

There is an old but very good movie using the Red Ball Express as a backdrop
My dad was a WWII Army mechanic and truck driver

I like how the transfer case pattern for the front axle says yes and no instead of in and out 😂
Thanks
I DIG THE HORSE SHOE / BIG TIME / BEST HOOD ORNAMENT TO REPRESENT THAT TRUCK
I once had 6x6 awesome machine. Great video good to see it working. Keep up the good work lad
YOUR LIVING THE DREAM ENJOY YOUNG MAN / GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW OLD RIDE
I think the majority of those Studebaker trucks got shipped to Russia during the war where it's been reported that the Russian troops loved them. Those airplane tires are quite the innovation.
Badass rig man!
That transfer case seal has cable bound up around it, the winch marks on the drive line you showed says that thing has eaten a cable like an old Kirby vacuum swallowing it's own cord!
Cool old truck. Real work horse. Thanks for the video 👍
U should put a snow blade and plow that snow out of the way lol
some people have all the fun , greatings from boring London UK ,lol , grass is always greener somewhere else
What a great truck and I can't wait to see more videos on this and all the other trucks. Crawled through the snow like it wasn't there.... would like to see what it takes to get it stuck. Thanks for the video
Dude thats not a truck, Thats a Tank, My Brother Had one like that back in the late 70s Great Truck,
That falcon on a 4x4 frame would be a good bad idea. Fun at least lol
I enjoyed. 👍👍
Come on, Give me a challenge! What a cool old truck!
Nice truck I lived in Wasilla Alaska for 20 + years
Hey I am a new subscriber i love all your truck is there a way you can make a video where you start and drive everything that runs
Certainly didn't have to ask the ole studebaker twice to go through the snow
That's StudeBaker is awesome.👍
What a beauty!
Cool counterweight set up.
I don't think that old Studebaker would win any speed races, but if the bet was to see what truck could pull down a house fastest, I know where my money's going!
Like a Jurassic Park Spinosaurus Beast Machine awakening! So Cool!
i love that truck
Awesome video!
The rear tires look taller than the front tires. When the front axel is engaged do you get wheel spin due to the different rolling radius of the front and rear tires?
All those big boy toys truck envy
Perfect moose hunting rig.
Wow that's a cool rig u called it like that snow wasn't even there 🤣...
Definitely cool old truck what else can it do without breaking it of course.
You have to watch out for the Bear ground it might bite you get it 🐻 ground
Mint👌🏼
Thanks for panning over the 'transmission plate', Would definitely take me some time to get used to that shift pattern! Is that standard in trucks of this age?

Beast
No need to ask, just bring it on!!
That's so cool
Great vid! Ive been in Alaska 3 Times. Where in AK do you live?
Greetings from Sweden

Can I ask what you intend doing with the truck?

Man . as long as I trully respect your work - I just can"t imagine why on earth would anyone live in place where snow is on ground in May 🤦 have you got women that dress nicely in Alaska ????
