I'll add my moral support and encourage you to bring the old soldier back to life. Beyond that I don't think I've got many answers for you. I'll link below an old thread with discussion of a similar truck. In it I suggested checking with the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. I also suggested a Yahoo Marmon Herrington group that was especially focused on old military vehicles. I don't know whether that group is still active.

I've also just looked through my copy of The Marmon Heritage, by George Philip Hanley and Stacey Pankiw Hanley, which is a great reference. But I didn't find anything to match the numbers you've cited. The other resource is Chuck Mantiglia of Chuck's Trucks, but I would suspect that he like most of us on the forum will have knowledge of the later and smaller model M-Hs. You might try him though to find out. Here's his web site. Stu McMillan

This truck is definitely Canadian Airforce crash rescue fire engine. Several of these have turned up over the years. Most of them were 1941's. This one was probably built during the war, because it has the later hood with the embossed Ford script. (The change from a die cast script emblem happened around 1944). The Airforce ordered all of these trucks with the special offset single wheels, and the aggressive chevron tread tires you still have on it. Every one I have seen still had them on it, sine they were all fire engines, and never got many miles put on them.

I am planning to rebuild it next year, i got my 48 f47 in the shop.
hopefully it will be ready for paint soon.
as for the mh, I plan on fitting a newer ford truck box off a one ton.
it will be a dump box as well.
I thought of putting a 7.3 idi in it but that seems like too much work, so i think i am going to stick to the flattie.
