max pearcy Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I have contacted the Studebaker Museum to see if they have the original blueprints for the hull. Their best method for searching the archive is by part number. In the parts manual I couldn't find a number for the hull itself. Does anyone know if it exists? Is there another place to access the blueprints? Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pips_Blaauw Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I will have a look in the parts manual this afternoon! That should have the correct part number in it. Is there a pay-wall for those blueprints? Ive been looking for them for ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pips_Blaauw Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) The stock numbers for the bow, stern and the apron to complete it: As referenced from the Ordnance Supply Catalog (15 june 1944) BOW, assembly = SD-954147 (1819A-2) STERN, assembly = SD-954013 (1819A-2) APRON = SD-954077 (1819A-3) 106323114-TM-9-772-and-TM-9-893-15-June-1944.pdf Edited October 14, 2022 by Pips_Blaauw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max pearcy Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thanks! They do charge per plan. I will keep you up to date on what I get from them and am more than willing to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) The hull drawing was also something I had been searching for for years. It is not listed in any of the parts catalogs, but I found out that it is only is listed is in an engineering book that lists all parts of the weasel. There is actually two drawings and part numbers you are looking for are: 952800 - Draft - Hull (This is is for the T24 and M29) 954381 - Adaptation - Bow and stern (This is for the M29C) Just do note, both these drawings are on several sheets/rolls and therefore not cheap.

max pearcy Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thanks for the additional part numbers. I forwarded all of these and we will see what comes of it. Is the engineering book available anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I think it's avalibale at the Studebaker museum archvie, but I'm not sure as I was given these numbers from a guy thru FB a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max pearcy Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 The Museum has sent me a question concerning the plan #953481. They are wondering if the plan number is really #954381. They found the other plan ok but are having trouble matching up the second one. Can anyone confirm this number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29C3284 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just checked the drawing and it should be 954381 not 953481, that was a typo on my end, sorry. I have corrected by last post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know if the blueprints are still available... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
