This involves two of my great interests: Studebakers and old tractors. Not necessarily my taste, but saw a link to this over on the Studebaker truck forum and wanted to share. Apologize if it has come up before.

People who are into this stuff are not about flawless paint and $2000 rechromed bumpers, but they do have some imagination... It is pulled by a SBC, but would have been really cool with a mid-fifties hemi or better yet, a flat head straight eight Packard.

Love the gearshift handle:

Interesting pairing! Curiously - or perhaps not - both the car and the tractor (Farmall M) were styled by the same industrial designer, Raymond Loewy.

Incidentally Loewy styled a wide variety of other products ranging from the contoured Coke bottle
to railroad locomotives.
 
they"re called the new fashion, "rat rods". saw one with a 9-n front on a street rod frame, with truck body, old truck box, without fenders. doesn"t matter what is used, you just don"t spend 20k for perfection. it"s like driving a old tractor with-out paint.lol
 
COOL!!Love the steering shaft and the 'shiftknob'.A Ford flathead V8 would be an apprpriate powerplant
 
Maybe it was inspired by a Mad Max movie. The gear shifter would certainly fit the concept.

Think I would have used a 3-53 Detroit Diesel as did some of the later Studebakers.

Headlights appear to be Dodge from about '24 to around '26.
