Is that a Studebaker Pickup or Chevy pickup? Body looks Chevy but the grill looks like a Studebaker.

It is a 1951 Chevy 5-Window Pickup

Someone grafted a Studebaker grill and canted headlights onto the frontend. From a little searching, it looks to be the grill off of a 1959 or 1960 Studebaker Lark. Here's the front of one of these cars for sale on eBay right now.

The truck is actually very straight and solid. It has a small block Chevy engine and automatic transmission. It runs and drives great. The dash is from a 1966 Ford Mustang.



Here's a thread with a lot of pictures showing custom cars with canted headlights.


Canted and Quadheadlight Kustoms


This is weird, you use to be able to buy a canted headlight kit, my guess is J.C. Whittney

Regardless of what vehicle it came from, if it doesn't whistle, getting louder as you go faster, I'll lose faith in human ingenuity.
