1950 FORD F5 MARMON HERRINGTON COE OPEN CARRY FORESTRY FIRE SUPPRESSION AND PERSONNEL RIG. <br/><br/>Here is a link to a video so you can look at entire length of truck. <br/>http://s76.photobucket.com/user/OCDRESTO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/trim.B4B9E79E-97CE-4B45-AD38-E0AC2BD200C8_zpstioy6fdj.mp4.html?filters[user]=142535762&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

 

Awesome M-H Fire rig,..never seen this one. Where is it now? Mark

 

It's here in Las Vegas. At the OCDRESTO 4x4 museum

 

Mark, please meet Mark. You will each have much in common with the other.

Good to see the COE, looks to be in great shape. Has it found its way to Las Vegas yet? Stu

Edit - typing on top of you Mark. Glad it is safely in your hands. Stu

 

Very cool, I thought it was a pic of Joshs at first glance. Is the OCDResto shop open to the public? If I ever get back to Vegas it would be nice to see all the toys!

 

Here is a duplicate of my truck. It is 2 years newer. 52 I believe. Enjoy!!!

 

Yea, that a 52 COE MH. Look at those 3 dudes riding directly over the rear axle! Can you say "hold on boys"! That was when men were men and the women were to. No offense to women of that era, my grandmother was 115 lbs at 90 years young and I would not have wanted to fight her.

 

Awesome truck! Looks really solid and straight considering what that truck was most likely subjected to.

Now how about a picture of the rear end. Oh wait thats a front and rear shot all in one.. sorry couldnt resist.
I am not to far from vegas. If i get that direction i would love to see your projects and collection.

Cheers
Josh

 

Museum is private and by appt. just drop me a line and I'll set up a visit. We'd enjoy your visit

Welcome to the board John!

Great truck. There are a handful of M-H guys around here that should be able to help with info and tips if you need it.

Good luck with it
