Our breakfast meeting was on July 16th at the Cracker Barrel, 1250 SW 11th Way (FAU Research Park Blvd.) in Deerfield Beach at 9 am.

Studebakers at the breakfast

Fourteen people attended the breakfast.  We had a great time discussing our vehicles and ailments (vehicular and personal.) Some of the discussion items included: Where to get parts; how to get things re-chromed; and how to tell what the differential ratio is.

One of the discussions about my 1950 2R5 1/2 ton pickup was about the manifold.  The 2R5 is supposed to have a single manifold comprising both intake and exhaust (part # 533790.)  The 2R6 has an intake manifold (part # 675232) and an exhaust manifold (part # 681052.)  Both of these have a single exhaust pipe.  Somehow my truck has the exhaust split so that I have dual exhausts.
