- As a small, independent car and truck maker, Studebaker relied on outside suppliers for rear axle assemblies. Steve examines the unconventional Timken split-case rear axle under a ¾ ton Studebaker truck frame.
Hope Katie has a full recovery 🤞
It was all a joke by steve....
What happened to Katie?
@@russchiappa4870 1:52 nothing happened; Steve cracked a joke.
Only Steve can make a frame very interesting 😊
Timken bearings are still some of the top line ones you can buy for a lot of applications.
My grandad saw and used them all the time when he worked as a mechanic in England and when he worked for DuPont when he moved to Canada.
I sure as hell hope they are top of the line. I work for timken and other than safety quality is above everything else.
Timken makes bearings for pretty much everything. My Casale V Drive uses Timken bearings throughout.
@@theq4602 I'm writing down your screen name for the next time I need crossover part numbers. 🤣🤣
Spicer/Eaton may beg to differ.
Those WW2 Studebaker trucks were arguably the best looking trucks used by the Allies.
Gotta look good
You would think that looks dont matter in a war , but think of how great looking American WW2 fighter planes were, particularly the Mustang , and Corsair, lightning, Thunderbolt , etc , and of course the beautiful British Spitfire, but the German and Japanese planes ? I dont think they cared about looks.
Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️🍩🍩👍👍 to all ! Steve these videos on all the cars & trucks very informative & interesting !
Morning
@@tomwesley7884 👍👍☕️☕️🍩🍩
Good morning everyone. 👍👍🇨🇦
Friday morning Studebaker truck stuff thumbs up,cool wheels
If you followed Hot Rod magazine's "Road Kill" over the years the Death Metal Charger when they first got it had a Timken limited slip rear end in it.
Morning Steve....
The soviets made timken style diffs for those Gaz trucks (which all seemed to be painted blue) that can still be seen everywhere in the Russian federation. Ford and GM also used them in the military pattern trucks of WW2.
That type diff was used on GAZ Volga cars into the seventies, maybe copied from Studebaker trucks from lend-lease in WWII.
My 48 Ford 3/4 ton has one.
Studebaker afficionado here. Another great video, you're really on a roll. If I may, Studebaker did keep the flathead six in automobiles through 1960. However, in 1961 they introduced the "Skybolt Six," an OHV design with the same 169.2 displacement as the flathead. In 1965 and 1966, the last two years of auto production, engines were sourced from outside. Very strictly speaking, they were not Chevrolet engines. They were actually McKinnon engines, designed by Chevrolet but built by General Motors in Canada. Technical point to the extreme. ( Maloney, James H., Studebaker Cars, Crestline, 1994) Thanks again for a great video.
Good luck to katie!
Hi Steve
Afternoon here in the UK 🇬🇧. I have a Porsche Carrera 4 911 that are notorious for intermediate shaft bearing failure in the flat six engine. The rwason for the bearing demise is that they used ball bearings that develop flats so instead of rolling they skid around create friction and then fail.
I had occasion to remove the engine from my 911 and i took to opportunity to replace the IMS ball bearing with a Timken roller bearing which does not suffer the problems of the original item.
On the subject of road draft tubes, I have a 1952 Buick Roadmaster with a heavy breathing straight eight. Due to fumes entering the car from the tube (i realise it needs a rebuild) i converted the breather to positive crankcase ventilation via a one way valve.
Studebaker inherited the twin traction limited slip diffs from Packard and in the later Studebaker Hawks they were manufactured by Dana Spicer.
I would love to find a 1956 Golden Hawk with the 275 bhp 352 Packard V8. I do have a 1954 Packard Patrician straight eight here in the UK 🇬🇧 but the body is very poor. I rebuilt the 359 with ally head and fitted a Clipper manual overdrive transmission to replace the Ultramatic. But, boy, she needs a lot of work.
All the best Steve. These videos are really something to look foward to. I also watch Coldwarmotors and Jonathan W, both of whom are playing with 1950's Studebakers. CWM have a 1958 President hardtop and Jonathan W his second 56' Hawk

Hello Nick Jervis! Thanks for watching and writing. I agree that the massive Packard V8 in a small-ish Studebaker Golden Hawk would be a fun, fast machine. It is one of Detroit's sad facts that the Packard 320, 352, 374 V8 was poised for greatness with its 5.0 inch bore spacing dimension. Larger than the Chrysler big block, Chevy big block and all other American V8's except the 1968 Cadillac 472 / 500, the Packard V8 was designed to grow past 500 cubic inches. Unfortunately after only two model years (1955 and 1956) Packard retired the tooling and the design was terminated. Solid rumors persist that Ford considered purchasing the tooling. But that never happened. If I ever find myself in Russia, I'll be sure to see if any Russian luxury cars from the post-1956 period are powered by large V8's that look suspiciously like Packard units. Wouldn't be a surprise since many Packard body dies were indeed sold to Russia over the years. Thanks again for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
It's a three-shirt day for Steve.
Love me some Studebaker history. I distinctly remember going to the local repair garage with the 1 new Lark on display. There were a good number of Studebakers in this neighborhood.
I’m a retired Building Engineer and we used Timken bearing in many large electric motor and pump rebuilds! I didn’t realize they also made truck differentials! Good information Steve. Keep up the good work!
Timken bearings were used on Henry Ford's Model T & TT.
Ill say it again, Studebaker appears to have used high quality paint. It amazes that the rear of the frame is in such beautiful condition.
Yeah, to see a bare 1950s era truck frame completely exposed to the elements all those years that still shows it's glossy finish is pretty cool...
It's possible that a previous owner may have repainted some of these at sometime during their lifespan.
Don't think, even for one moment, that that paint on the frame is factory original. Look at any older, unrestored truck. The paint under the cab ALWAYS holds up better than the paint under the bed. Definitely a Rustoleum restoration.
Good Morning Gents ! 🇺🇸
Some Studebaker trucks had duals on the front axle with body work to allow for tight turning with duals installed. Two logs could be placed across a ditch or ravine and the dual wheels on each corner would track along the logs without fear of a log slipping out. Low Buck Garage got one running for anyone interested.
I used to be able to get Timken replacements for the outer bearing on my old National Detroit dual action sander. (DA), They'd last for years. At some point they were no longer available and you could only get Chinese made crap. You'd be lucky to get a year out of them! I still have that old work horse, sitting on a shelf with a blown out outer bearing. Eventually Dynabrade style, light weight palm held DA's, became the norm, more of a finish, or fine sanding machine. Better for sanding primers and such. The old heavy Detroit Nationals were second to none when it came to stripping paint. That's probably why I've kept my old National Detroit I bought in 1985. I'll have to try and find a bearing, they work great on wood too.
Hopefully you can find some new old stock ones.
Pretty much every car and truck until the late 1960s vented the crank case vapors right into the atmosphere. It's why you got high every time you went grocery shopping or to the shopping mall walking through the parking lot, especially on a hot day. Tens of hundreds of cars just parked with hot engines all venting their crankcase vapors in the same area. Fun times!
Try painting a closet with oil based paint
amazing how the junkyard is really a classroom, well done Steve
I like the look of Studebaker vehicles. Studebaker actually had cars that was very attractive to the eye like the Golden Hawk.
It's such a shame that Studebaker stopped making cars. I miss a lot of the great old makes like Plymouth, AMC, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, DeSoto, Packard. Kia's, Nissons, and Hyundai's have nothing on them.
Can you imagine if AMC was still making vehicles. How they would look today. Out off sight out off mind.👍
Man I agree with you!
Timken axles were also used in trucks built by Ford and Willys to name a few...
Great vid, really enjoyed this one!! 👍👍
I don’t know how true it was, but I remember a hot rodder building a 50s Stude pickup and transplanting a SBC said Studebaker pickup bodies were lighter than those from the Big Three from that era. My dad and uncles were farm boys growing up, and while I don’t think my granddad owned any Studebaker grain trucks, I do remember them speaking fondly of Studebaker farm trucks being reliable and could be worked hard.
They did have fiberglass rear fenders on their late 50’s trucks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGS!!!🎂🎉🥳
My dad had one of those back in the early ‘70s, with a pickup bed but no duals. It was tired, and the road draft tube served as an extra exhaust pipe, the blow by was so bad. As another poster said.
When I was a kid, I loved getting to tag along on a trip to the wrecking yard. In the old days, the flame wrench (cutting torch) was a tool that made work possible at the yards. They were used for everything from eradicating rusty frame bolts to dismembering whole bodies for scrap. (This was before they all had a crusher). This might sound weird, but i remember the smell with some fondness. It was only as toxic as hell, but the smell of hot metal mixed with scorching grease, undercoating and rubber, was my own version of “Napalm in the Morning”.
I remember a friend of my father worked at a car dealership here in New Zealand in the 1960's that sold Studebaker's and I remember him saying that they were 283 Chevy powered, they would have to have been right hand drive, probably came from Canada I would imagine.
I do genuinely appreciate the ,
Independents , like Studebaker .
Fascinating two peice ,
Timken differential .
A lot of companies ,
Out sourced differentials
Hope Katie 🥺 🐶 will be ok
Timken makes bearings for pretty much everything. My Casale V Drive uses Timken bearings throughout.
Steve, studebaker came out with their own 170 ci ohv in-line 6 in 61. 60 was the last year for the flat head 6..
Good morning mate bloody ripper again
What happened to Katie? How do you know she will be okay?
She's actually A-OK! I was kidding around about my bitter-sweet co-host who loves to show up and totally upstage me. She'll be back! Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
My WWII 6 ton 6x6 has timken axles and they are MASSIVE!
Hello men!
Timken is still around, and others are still US made, although they buy and source from others for certain SKUs. Clark was another rear end suppliers to many OEMs back then, including Ford. Studebaker among others would source from whoever would supply them. Let's hope Katie doesn't go to the hospital. She's as much a part of your videos as the vehicles themselves.
As I noted in the past, one of my former coworkers (now deceased) was a technical writer for Motor when they were located in Manhattan. He was a good writer, but did things the old fashioned way and technology was the end of him in the company. Prior to me coming, he was one of the few people that knew how to read a Ford parts book.
Always liked the lines of Studebaker. Interesting that you show a Sunbeam Alpine. some years back a neighbor of mine had an Alpine for summer fun. He gave me a ride in it a few times. Then my boss around that time, had one of the Sunbeam Tigers...THAT was peppy!
No wonder why my Dad loved his truck! After ww2 he had Jeep’s and a Studebaker pickup he used on the farm! I really enjoyed this history lesson Steve!
This Studebaker series is great.
Dude, there barely ain't a vehicle left to review! 😝
Keep up the great videos!
Go get them Steve get well soon I'm running out of videos I've watched your videos three or four times come on back
You get well soon Steve we miss you
Stock car guys used these timken axles back in the day
Thoughts and prayers for Katie.
LOL- I believe that whole story was a joke by steve, as no dog is life-flighted- it's like $10k to get life flighted, and didn't you hear steve say it was from roast beef that had Botulism , that's what steve says he feeds her to keep her quiet.
Never knew that Timken made rear differentials 😊
Thanks again Steve , I learned something new today 😊
Louise Timken was still flying her Learjet in her 80’s. Now that’s an interesting story.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge...vast and limitless....
Another great video ! Thanks Steve 😊 .
Love the insect cameo!
Love the fumes/lungs reference 😂😂
When I was in high school I work for a farmer and one of the green trucks he had was a Studebaker. I used to get to drive that thing all the time I wished it was around today I would love to have it😊
Thank you Steve
Never had the pleasure of working with split rims was told horror stories about them.
That Ant!!🐜
😊
What happened with Katie? She will be in our thoughts and prayers! She is always anywhere you are and she quickly became a part of not only the channel but part of you and part of us. A part of the Steve mags family ❤️
I was kidding. Katie wasn't the patient of the "life flight", she was actually flying it! You should have seen her trying to work the joystick with NO thumbs. I'm glad I wasn't in that chopper when she took off. But she's OK and will "be back". Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
@@SteveMagnante I'd love to see that flight plan, she'd probably pull a Kobe Bryant at the nearest Petco lookn for treats. Definitely one of the best channels & People on CZcams!
I need that book!
Wow, Studebaker used Budd to build their bodies? I can't believe that they didn't jump on the bandwagon with FWD, Mack, and Ford C series, and use the Budd cabover cab.
Awesome thanks 👍
Some guy on another channel is restoring a Keller woody, and the rear axle has a big 'M' logo on it, I wonder what brand of axle that may be?
More Studebaker - great!
That chassis is a 3/4-ton 2R10. The 3/4-ton is the only 2R with 6-lug wheels.
It has the smaller and much more common Champion flathead (170 CI). If it had the larger Commander flathead 6 it would be a 2R11.
The wheel design is probably the same as the larger trucks: Firestone R-5 with main wheel, outer ring and locking ring. Not the infamous two-piece “split rim”. Firestone didn’t produce the wheels, but designed the locking system.
It looks like the read wheels are simply installed backwards, not duals.
studebaker was a synonym for truck in the ussr during and following ww2.
We used to call that vent tube, a " blow by" tube.
That scene stealing 🐜
Katie gave the ant a bread crumb to zap my scene....as always. Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
Does Pat Foster over at Hemming’s have pictures of Steve in a compromising position with farm animals or something…….????
Could somebody please get Steve a dry shirt?!
Wet shirt helps with hydration and cooling
Hey Steve, when I was a kid the junk yard had every part listed and what other cars the same part fits... Do you have any source of this info?
Hollander (Holleder?) Manuals. I have one from the 70s, got it from a friend who worked at a junkyard.
Timken rear ends were all the way back to 30 aa Fords right up through the early 50s as well in 3/4 up trucks
Timmy went on to do lassie
Fred Flinstones work truck.
New guys that worked for Massey Ferguson in Detroit, which changed to TimKen axle. Maybe it was the other way around?
Timken made parts of Caterpillar for years
Hey Steve do one on the red grand Cherokee sitting there!
I couldn't enjoy the video after hearing about Katie...please give updates
I was kidding, she's doing GREAT and will be back soon to her scene stealing ways. Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
@@SteveMagnante That was a mean joke. I'm not sure if she's giving you 4 thumbs down or 4 thumbs up right now. But at least your water ad was tasteful.
.
👍
Katie------------>Botulism and Mechanical ventilation, this was not medical advice...😢 Dog🐕🦺
that is an amazing junk yard ! don't they ever sell anything? I see what looks like a Sunbeam Tiger in the back ground . How many acres is that place? How about some history on the yard itself , maybe a drone picture.
The USA sent thousands of Studebaker trucks to the Soviet Union during WW ll. They were admired and appreciated.
That diff would suck if it went wrong 😮
I hope Katie is ok.
Hey Steve I'd like to see a video of a Revcon Motorhome, I'm wondering about the drivetrain configuration. The early one used the Toro drivetrain while the later models used a 454 and TH400 but fwd.
Hey hi how ya doin?
My names Sol.
Sol E. Noid.
Maybe youve met my buddy Al.
Al Uminum.
We just clicked on over and love the channel.
Steve you keep misidentifying tube type wheels as split rims.They are two different things.
Who's been in a rear end?
Steering column definetely doesn't collapse during impact.
Nice frame for 'something'. Throw a big diesel in front. Rat rod truck.
Ken went to malibu
The engine got ohv before it went away.skybolt 6
5:20. I flicked my screen. 🤦🤣😂
😮WHAT?

Need a set of Spoksteel for my GMC anyone have and good info on Spoksteel or anyone who has a good source to find some I have been all over the country tracking down over 20 wheels and have only come up with two usable ones I need 7 total including the spare for my restoration
I'm not totally hip to what you describe / need but I'm sure Bernardston Auto Wrecking Boss Dale Hastings can probably help. There are LOTS of older (pre-1975) GMC trucks at Bernardston and he might just have what you need. You can call Dale at 413/648-9300. Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante
@@SteveMagnante thank you for the best channel on YT......yes these Spoksteel spelled without the "e" are hard to locate then the fact that GMC and Chevrolet of this era each had their own axles and bolt patterns and there are two different options for the vent windows it gets really hard when trying for a 100% restoration
If you run across a set or a set of glass lenses that fit the 1937-38 GMC that have the actual GMC in the identification vs the chevrolet bow tie I would be absolutely thankful
These two items basically are the last step on 15 year restoration
Thank you Steve Mags
One bibble?
So how is Katie?
Katie ate some of stevemreinfo's old canned food and got botulism? 😂
Luv ya Katie
