1949 Studebaker R5

This truck belonged to my Grandpa and after he passed away my Dad acquired this truck. Both drove this truck cross country with their wives, in the summer of 1997 my grandparents drove this from Spokane to Boston and back, and my parents made a round trip from Spokane to Cincinnati summer of 2008, both trips were to visit their kids and grandchildren. This truck has been modified and updated over the years and this is the current state of the truck:
