Had to go back and look at post #400. Thought you were talking about GB

 

I didn't find out what either went for- the auction had split into 2 segments and I already had a needy '40 in the shop, so I was buying tools.

 

I thought I had myself photoshopped to around 6'-4"..... Someone must have blown my cover.... Stu? Scott? Mike?

 

Nope, wasn't me Gary. That tech in 400 would have needed a ladder to get himself up to work on that nice M-H. Stu

 

lets play point the finger LOL Nah joe i was talking about the tech guy in post 400 not GB

 

 

This has to be my favorite thread of all time on any forum on any site. That parking lot was just sooo frikken goldang cool.

 

I thought you might like the '37 lumber truck too Gary!

 

that parking lot shot would make a nice 12 X 18 photo for any car buff

 

 

You're knockin' em outa the park Scott!

 

Look closely, please. A Marmon-Herrington tonner panel, said to be a 1947, with DRWs, and wide fenders. M-H model is OT5-4. The site I found this on called the truck the "original Grave Digger". Really? Or is it just a name he gave it. I want it. Stu

You've got MY attention Stu! 122" wheelbase with big truck axles???

 

Not exactly. It's the tonner model that has the same front and rear axles, and transfer case, as my 1950 F-3. My 1950's rear axle even has the 1947 tonner axle and bolt pattern with the pictured rear spacers. I should build my own. Stu

 

Talk about a woody!! That is awesome!! BTW, Dennis Anderson's first grave digger was a Ford. About a 49-50 IIRC. And all he had to do was drive it on top of cars and stop, people went nuts.
