    What they learned in 1949 went into my 59 Transtar 3/4 ton 4x4. It lived its life mostly off-road in New Mexico, and gave me great service.

    Stude made pre runner cars and trucks long before they became a thing.. so cool. Would love to have one of these trucks

    Impressive! The suspension is what stuck out to me the most. The wheels were taking a pounding, yet the bodies on both vehicles received very little of the vibration. Sure wish they company had survived!

    I can't believe that 4-wheel drive was not a requirement for all of them--plus I am amazed that the vehicles shown did as well as they did without it

    This is phenomenal! How many 1950 Desert Explorers were built? Do any of the Desert Explorers survive?

      Not that we know of. One used to be in the Proving Ground graveyard, but it rusted away a long time ago.
