I do believe that is being delivered to the wrong location.
Load it back on the truck and send it on to Erie, PA.
(Tell the Driver there will be a Ten Spot for his troubles.)

Somewhere I've seen that before. It's been a while ago, maybe on eBay when it was for sale. And it's a Marmon-Herrington too! What a great score.

So is it yours now? Nice score, if so!!

I've worked out of a service truck all my life. What I wouldn't give for that thing. My first service truck was a 48 dodge 1/2 ton

Great score!

Yep, it would make an interesting service truck. Only problem that I see is the outdated drivetrain, it would cost a small fortune to travel the 25K+ miles that I do a year.

judging by the viewfinder on roof, i'd guess powerlines or logging cables. it sure is neat!! wonder what ratio is in rears? 48fordcoe, if you part it out , (driveline), give me a pm? unless there's a line a mile deep.

Stu,

That truck was on eBay some time ago but didn't sell then a member of the board bought it, dwschmidt:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...&albumid=28827

He has the same pictures in his gallery.

48fordcoe, did you used to go by the name "Tomato"? I just checked your gallery and you have the same COE trucks. Just curious.
