If I remember correctly, the axles, xfer, and tranny (mostly) are the same as a split CCKW. The engine is a Herc flathead and naturally the sheetmetal is different.

Good luck. They are pretty rare in the US

one issue with the truck is a tree put a pretty good dent in the roof, and depending on how bad the floor, and the rest of the cab are i may be looking for a replacement cab

is there a civlian studebaker truck that had the same cab?

would a CCKW open cab fit?
