1938 Studebaker 1/2 Ton Pickup Additional Info:

1938 Studebaker Coupe Express K5 Truck

In 1938, production numbers for the revised Coupe Express reached 1200. How many survive today compared to the higher number 1937 J5 is unknown. A restyled cab revealed more of the passenger car sheet metal and a slightly longer pickup bed resulted.

In addition, the spare tire elevated slightly more on the K5 than the J5 of 1937.

The K5 has Commander rims & chrome trim rings with radial tires, both on the ground & spare.

Fender mounted front headlights compared to the side cowl mounting for 1937 preceded the inside fender mounting done in 1939.

The truck retains the 6 volt system whether headlight bulbs, generator, starter, regulator.
