1964 Studebaker 8E5 Description

1964 Studebaker USPS "Zip" van. Parlay this unique piece of U.S. automotive/postal history into a money making machine! You are only limited by your imagination. What could YOU use it for? It has a 170c.i. (2.8L), 6 cylinder rated at about 100 hp. There is an opening for a service window on the side opposite the driver (driver is on the RIGHT side) and next to a slot for a menu board or whatever. The sliding pocket door on the driver's side was removed as it had deteriorated. If using this commercially (or otherwise) you might want something lockable and more secure anyway. It is a project that is nearly done. It starts, runs and drives. Recently replaced the brake pads and rebuilt the alternator. Parts have been relatively easy to find for it (considering it is a 52 year old Studebaker). Included, but not installed are: Side mirror, wipers and assembly (easy external bolt-on motor), original stock rims with some misc tires on them and an airvent for the front. It is essentially a blank canvas for your masterpiece. All sorts of possibilities: Food Cart, Farmer's Market, Vendor Mobile, Hemp Wagon, Tamale Cart, Parts Deliver Wagon...whatever. Bring questions. I will answer what I can.
