Against The Wall

I'm guessing these have seized over the years, but must have some decent scrap value.

I'm sure someone could make a lot of money selling those for restorations, engine swaps, etc.. rediculous.

If these are Studebaker engines, then the Studebaker fans will grab them. They seem to keep a good eye on the happenings of the Studebaker plants and make a good effort to keep the important items.

those part are not there any more. the city of south bend sold them all off to a cousin of mine. Most of these buildings now are being torn down.

Seems what one generation builds, the next just throws away.

Those are multifuel engines for military 2 1/2 & 5 ton trucks. They burn diesel fuel primarily but could run on other flammable liquids. Studebaker made military trucks during WWII and later.
