Is this a Chevy or ?

I found this old truck picture and it must have been before my time. Would it be called a one ton or a ton and a half?

Studebaker..????

looks like the old studebaker to me. might be 1 1/2 ton.

Hood ornament makes me think Studebaker

Kinda looks like a long wheelbase 1 1/2 ton Dodge or International by the hood ornament

Studebaker, that body style came out in'49 or 50, continued until '60s with minor modifications. Diary farm I worked for as a teenager had all Studebakers, trucks, family cars etc. Their Brother in law was the Studebaker and Oliver dealer. Can you guess what their main tractors were??

Yepper on the Studebaker. Don't know the weight rating. Too bad they went out of business. Made fine, reliable, reasonably priced cars. Family had several.

I used to visit my grandfather in Houston when I was tall enough to stand up in the front seat, hold on to the back of it, my other hand was pointing at things out the front window of his '40 Ford coupe, and at the time I wasn't tall enough to touch the headliner...however old that is....pretty young as I hit 6'5 at 14 and my mother said If I just had to smoke I could start when I reached that height...so I was pretty young at the time.

The Studebaker dealer in Houston had an advertising gimmick outside his dealership. He had a '39 coupe with the normal hood, but replaced the trunk lid (bonnet) with the hood from the front of another black '39, making it a 2 front car. The trunk lid on that series was triangular just like the hood with protruding rear fencers just like in the front., but it dipped down in the rear where as the hood remained pretty straight out to the tip....easily distinguished. Every time we went driving around town I'd ask him to take me to see the 2 front car. Never forget it.

The giveaway is the height of the fenders vs hood. Dodge, Ford, and GM had much lower fenders....a follow on to earler designs where access to the engine compartment was by lifting a panel on the side over the fenders.

2R series Studebaker. '49 to '53 most likely (they all looked the same in those years). Available from 1/2T up to I think 2T.

The one in the post most likely has the larger 245 CU 6.

'54 went to 1 pc windshield and offered V8 option for the first time and '55-'56 bigger back window and different grill. The big toothy fiberglass grill in the photos posted are '57-'59. For '60 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickups used a cab adapted from the Lark car but the bigger trucks continued with that '49 cab style until the company went out of vehicle business.

Some resemblence....the vehicle name in the hood ID badge has enough characters to spell out S t u d e b a k e r.

While we are on the subject, the Tucker was another fine example of entrepreneurship in automotive design. Had some really modern conveniences for the day.
