Episode 1: The Stude

My first youtube video.

20+ years ago I started building a customized Studebaker pickup, heavily inspired by the Rod & Custom "Dream Truck". It's not a clone, or a tribute, this is my own design that captures some of what I love about the original Dream Truck.

After maybe a year of tinkering the truck was lowered, chopped and sectioned. It got set aside in favor of other projects for way too long. It's 2023, and I'm excited to be focused on this project finally.

In this video I will give you an overview of the project and some of the history. Then we will focus on completing the fabrication work on the rear suspension. In future videos we'll get into more fabrication and metal shaping as I work through different areas of the truck that need love.
