This truck arrived in 1948 as Studebaker's first new post-war design. Well, the cab and bed were new but the solid-axle chassis and flathead motor were already very old. This design lasted through 1953, then was actually brought back for 1958-9 as the Scotsman. This same truck finally got a new cab in 1960 and new ohv 6-cylinder engines and a new bed in 1961, but the old-fashioned chassis was made all the way until Studebaker closed operations in Indiana at the end of 1963.
