Yep, Checker stamped out the tailgates and I think the rear quarter panels for the fleetside GM pickups. Also the frame rails for the "Fishbowl" buses, don't know specifically what they're stamping now other than they're still in the automotive supply biz as well as owning a trucking firm. They really began making good money once they stopped building the cars. That's actually pretty typical for the smaller car companies....Stude's profits went thru the roof when they stopped production---having diversified prior to this allowed them to remain in business.

Then there's the aborted engine building contract with Chrysler....signed, sealed, but not delivered. Checker sued and won big time. I suspect that Chrysler bought the Stude tooling and decided to build the engines themselves (the LA series small blocks)
