This 1962 Studebaker Pickup truck is beautiful and runs great!  Sold new in Texas at Brazos Motor Co, Restored in the late 1980s,  then to Southern California where it lives today.  A solid, well maintained and beautiful Pickup truck in Apache Red with Studebaker build sheet  and previous work receipts, work notes and old registration slips that show the prior owners all the way back to the original Texas title! Offered by the Vault Classic Cars, Fullerton, CA . 714-401-1047

.

It’s nicely equipped – 289 Studebaker V8, 4 Barrel Carburetor, 3 speed manual with working overdrive, AM Radio – works!   All the gauges work, and register where they should, as do the lights, wipers, horn and turn signals.  It has aftermarket A/C, but it’s not cold.  The white tool case in the rear bed is a nice touch!  

.

The Pickup bed was found as a new old stock unit, to replace the original 8 foot flatbed that was originally installed per the build sheet.  I marvel at how beautiful, straight, and dent-free this pickup bed is!

.

Lovely!

.

There's the original dealer, Bryan Brazos motor co Studebaker.

It's a 3/4 ton , so it sits up tall, and can haul or tow a goodly amount of weight!

Excellent chrome and trim!

The model name was "Champ" - but there were a variety of sub-models, from the lighter trucks to the heavy duty ones like this, which is a 7E12-122.
