Posted : admin On 22.12.20202R SERIES SERIAL NUMBERS AND PRODUCTION NUMBERS: Information provided by Skip Lackie from Studebaker service letters: Serial numbers are shown on the plate below the drivers seat, left side: First production date: Spring 1948 (1949 models) YEAR: MODEL: Starting serial number: Ending serial number: Production: Comments: 1949: 2R5: R5-001.
- 1962-63 Studebaker vehicle identification number (vin) decoder. STUDEBAKER 1960-61 - 1964: Wanted: Pictures of VIN plates for all model years.
- If you have any questions, comments or would just like to see your car(s) picture on these pages just click and contact the A.S.C Webmaster below.
- Specifications for classic autos, antique cars, vintage cars, old cars and muscle cars - American cars 1910 to 1975 - over 33,000 models. Includes, engine/transmission data, wheelbase, production nos., VIN’s, & more.
- There was no “secret” serial number on the frame. The serial numbers of Hamilton-built trucks began with HR. For reasons that remain a mystery, Studebaker used the capital letter I instead of the numeral 1 on their serial number plates. A note about serial numbers. Many of the very earliest automobiles did not have serial numbers.
- The V after a number indicates Gold plate The VP after a number indicates Gold plate & Paint The WP after a number indicates Chrome plate & Paint, i.e. A TT Emblem The P equals Prime. Some parts have an X and a number following it, at the end of a regular Studebaker Drawing numbered 6 or 7 digit part number.
- The first serial number for the new 1949 line for the 1/2 ton 2R5's is R5-001 and the last serial number assigned for 1949 was R5-42500. This means your truck was the 36,680th 1/2 ton truck built that year of approximately 42,500 produced. Production was probably a little less then 42,500. To decode your serial number: R5-36680.
