Guys, This pass summer I found this pickup at a junk yard... It looks like a ford but got me thinking maybe it was a Marmon Harrington (after coming across a photo of one online) Also any help with which year truck it is ??

Here the website that got me thinking it was an Marmon Harrington ....

HubGarage.com - Mark Mossell's Marmon Herrington Garage

love the looks of this truck

heres my photo

 

The grille looks similar to the '37 Ford, but not exacty like it. I don't think your pic is of a Ford. That leaves Dodge, Chevy, GMC, REO, etc. Google Images here I come. Stu

 

Thanks man, only reason I ask is because the owner said it was Ford and inside the cab had a few small ford hub caps.. Im thinking maybe its it there next time I go back by the junk yard I may try to buy it.. It still had all the glass and the floor pans wherent all gone........

 

Looks like a '37 Ford........probably a bigger truck. They were a 1 year only body style.

Left hood side panel is from a 1936 Ford 3/4 ton or larger truck. Notice that light red color? That where the Ford V8 emblem...was.

1936 half tons use different hood sides, have the hood side panel emblems in the upper center between the louvers.

1937's use different hood side panels and emblems than 1936's. So it could be a '36 w/a '37 grille, or a '37 with '36 hood side panels.

 

btw Cody, maybe I read your question wrong, but MH was only a conversion company that put their all wheel drive units under the trucks produced by other mfg's.

MH as far as I know never produced a truck.

Similar to Shelby/Saleen/Steed using Mustang platforms to finish building their "own" version.

 

MH made their own, but much bigger trucks. Stu

 

It's a 1937 Ford with a '36 hood side panel. As Scott said, '37 was the only year of the '35-'37 body style that used the 2 piece, peaked windshield. The '35-6 was essentially the same truck with a flat windshield. Some parts interchange, some don't. That barrel grille is unique to the '37, as well.

 

1903/1933: Marmon...without Herrington, manufactured automobiles.

 

I do believe all '35s had the centered side panel emblems, which moved forward in '36, as pictured.

 

I was comparing 1936's and 1937's, not 1935's.

 

Except it seems more than a couple of us are confused by your statements. AFAIK, all 1935 Ford trucks had the emblem centered in the hood, where the big change for '36, along with the replacement of the spoke wheels with the 'wide 5' pattern on the half-ton, was the emblem placement to the front of the hood side. I've restored several of these, and this is what I've found to be correct.

1935






1936

 

nice pics on old trucks

 

It's real EZ to confuse peeps, since most have no Ford literature of any kind, so are "flying blind."

Heck, you could post a pic of a Studebaker truck, most wouldn't know what it was...unless you said so.

 

It isn't hard to get wrong even with references. I had James Wagner's book open looking straight at it and didn't think the grille looked exactly the same. "Shows to go ya". Stu
