Finally doing some test driving of the Champ I have been working on and it drives just like like every other Studebaker truck I have driven...like crap.... Truth is it will beat the snot out of you. It is kind of fun once you get used to it, but then it gets to be just a pain in the ass. My hat is off to you guys who drive these things on a regular basis. The Champ is a 64; my old Chevy is also a 64. Getting out of the Champ and into the Chevy is like going from a go cart (coal cart?) to a Caddy. Studebaker would have done a lot better if they had taken what little money they had and worked on a more modern suspension rather than toss it out he window on the whole Champ idea.
