Here's found this one was listed in Craigslist looking for new owner, a classic American lighter truck that was made by Studebaker in 1955, were is has been rebuild but not perfect still need some work to be done but it's already cools as a daily driver car.

According to the current owner, the truck's engine has been modernized using a fuel injected big block Chevy 454 paired with a Turbo 400 trans, and a deliberate patina look for old-school grandeur also looks more charming with wide wheels that are slightly lowered suspension.

The cost of parts and restoration of these vehicles are increasing daily (No need to think about it because the motor has been modernized). More looking coolest on the streets, they are not making any more and, therefore, they are becoming more rare by the day.
