There is a complete 51 chassis on ebay right now...I have a 50 in the shop that is going to be ground up restored. Anyone know if the two chassis will interchange without major "adapting"? Studebaker George

Not sure, but that would make things easier.. Given the '51 front end and all. Heck, if Mikey is the one doing the work, it doesn't matter if it'll bolt in or not. :-)
See ya on July 19!

Different chassis, but you could use it if you can fiind a good 51 fr. end or 51 inner fenders to go on your '50 fenders. The 51 has a different suspension, a longer wheel base, and is an improvement over the '50. Barry'd in Studes

Yeah, I knew of all the changes but was wondering if the basic chassis was the same..or close... Might be better just to change rears and spindles on the 50 and go with it as it already has a replacement 185 in it. Studebaker George
