Just got my 1946 Studebaker M5 back on the road. Added video of engine running.

Very NIZE RIDE...

I love those old Studebakers. Thanks for getting her going again.

She still needs some minor work. Head liner, windshield wipers and door glass. I have to do some work to the front end suspension as well cause man is it stiff. This truck in its previous life was drag raced at Dragway 42 in Ohio. I am having to make changes to put it back on the street and drive it till the wheels fall off.

That's awesome. Those old rides have a lot of class that newer auto makers just can't seem to make a priority.

Looks like some cruising is in your future. Like previously stated, let's here it running on video. Maybe a burn out or two.

It does have a line lock system but I have to take it easy for a few hundred miles while the brand new rear end is broken in. I'll post a video of it running.

On a second look at the photos I noticed a fold forward front sheetmatal --
Is that original? I seem to recall they just had an alligator hood--
