AFAIK, Studebaker never made a panel truck. From '49-59 the C-cab pickups came in 1/2t, 3/4t and 1t. The 1/2t came in 112" wheelbase and a 6.5' box and 122" wheel base with an 8' box. The 1t could be had with a 8' box, 9'box or a flat bed. Because of a dealer franchise deal, Studebaker labled a very few trucks as Packards and sent them to South America, but they were Stude in everything other than nameplate.

My truck is a 3/4t, 122" wheelbase, 8' box, 6-lug Budd wheels, Spicer rear axle.
