You are determined to stretch my limited technical capabilities to the limit, Mr Dodds.

Here is a very quick and dirty attempt to lower the rear window, giving a deeper roof and reduced height of bulkhead behind the cab. Don't know if you find that an improvement?

Studebaker roof v2

Not sure if Christopher is saying "No" to the original, or to my changes, or to your suggestion for a further change. Personally I prefer my first attempt, the second one maybe makes the upper roof a little too heavy-looking.

But hey, it's 10 p.m. in Greenwich and thereabouts, and I'm off downstairs to have a brandy and a cigar, so damned if I care.

By George I think you've got it Graeme!

Sorry for the ambiguity; I was saying "No"  to all of it.   This "UTE-debaker"  does nothing for me.   I like this Ute and this car.... but "cross-breading"  them, IMO, is not a good idea.

@graeme-ogg, very Nice! Can you try adding some side-mount spare tires now?

I think using the rear window from a '47 Ford coupe ruins the look of the '53 Ford UTE completely.  I find the Studero end product by OGG Designs Inc. quite well done.

Continental kit? Side-mounted spares? Pink roof? Hmmm.

Over the years I may have acquired a certain reputation as a naive, gullible soul, but I have a growing suspicion that certain individuals are taking the piss here.

Well, on their own heads be it . . .

Studebaker edit 9

p.s. I was going to attempt the side-mount spares but thought that might be a little OTT (which is obviously the last thing anyone would want)

Sorry to be late responding to this "picture" but I was applying eye drops in abundance to stop the burning sensation......

@jack-dodds, that "burning sensation" is called "art appreciation." Only those with an elevated IQ experience it.

With my agitated eyes full of Murine I am struggling to make this post out.....something about burning nonsense art and appreciating an elevator experience....not sure.....
