I spoke to the Studebaker archivist today since the numbers he had didn't match those I found on this site. Apparently
they changed the numbers in the '54 parts list. Some of you regulars may know that, but it's not apparent from the only list I found on this site. So if anyoen has a '49-50 parts book it would be an nice addition here. Museum has one but I didn't inquire.
The old original numbers are 399226&227. 396540&541 show in '54.
He's mailing out the dwg so I should have next week. After that I'll be able to get cost info. I realistically wouldn't think it possible to have anything until early next year, holdays, etc.
HH - All I did to get mind off, was take a pry driver and lift on SS piece on the carpet side edge on the two big clips that attach to the floor pans. Once they're up, the clips can be disingaged rather easily by the same technique. The front are the same as spring type trim clips. The outer clips are large with rounded wedges so to come off from an upright angled position. I can do pictures if you need.
