Welcome to the site, you will find it is quite valuable in "Deuce ownership". That is a nice looking truck that appears to still be a gasser (?).

There are several SS members in and around Chicago and your recovery path.

If I can help in any way, let me know as I will be at home for awhile.

BTW, if you are interested in getting rid of the M109 box, I am looking for one...

What kind of info are you looking for?


It's a pretty nice looking truck, by the way.

Hey, Burlin isn't too far from me! Stop by on your way up! If you need a tow bar, I might be able to help. I love my 109, what do you want to know? To get the box off, you have 10 bolts holding it to the frame, the trailer plug has 4 bolts, maybe a couple wires up near the batterys, and whatever custom "stuff" the cop shop put in.

The paper work says diesel but we will see. I do not need the box how hard are they to remove and maybe save freight more pics.

they said it was runing two months ago but now? will it be to high on a gooseneck trailer to haul home thanks

Well, if you end up brining the box home, I have a wrecker to help get it off. Any pics of the motor? I don't see a stack to indicate a diesel.

How tall is your trailer deck?


M109 is 130" (10',10") high according to the TM.

The truck is not a diesel, but may well be a Multifuel. The LDS-427 had a horizontal exhaust like the gas engine, as did the early models of the LD-465. If the truck really is a 1963, it was built with the LDS-427 - but there is a good chance its been reengined with the LD-465.

Fine looking truck you have there!

Regards,
David

Thanks David, I was wondering about why the stack was not visible.

Matt had a 1963 M292A2 with the LDS 427. I don't know how it lasted that long without being repowered. Can't recall what Mfr it was. I do have some pics of it

 

[hatteras4164]

Thanks for the info I will Keep the list posted on the progress. Thanks gimpyrobb for the help

Hey Hatteras, I'm not too far from you. If you're looking to get rid of the 109 box, I'd be interested in it. My bed is junk for the most part and I'd like to make a camper truck.

 

[hatteras4164]

It has begun ! 1963 studebaker 109 w/w gasser 20,000 miles good box ,good windows ,11 new tires pioneer rack hard top and runs good recovery some time within two three weeks

 

[doghead]

Sure hope to see it at Haspin this June! Congrats on a sweet looking truck, you have some good people out there to help you with it.

When they floated my M109, they had to dump all the air out of the tires to make it legal. Was 2" below maximum height on the drop deck tractor.

Would be too bad to remove the box off a nice truck like that, but I am sure several members here would be interested in it if you really don't want it.
