Somebody ought to be saving this COE M-H. Looks to be in dry southern Idaho so is probably in great shape. I have no connection to the seller. Here's the listing, and pics of it. Stu

ford line rig

 

OH Wow, that thing looks mean as hell! thats a short wheelbase truck and the box, bed on it looks neat. I wonder what kind of service the truck was used for? may just have to call and see what he wants for it. only 4 hours from me. No I shouldn't the wheel look to nice

 

That looks incredibly rare. And this is coming from someone who knows nothing of these MH trucks...

 

Nice little grocery-getter.

 

HEll ya! I would drive that thing to the grocery store... SHow up all them Chipped, & lifted Dodge Ram Dually redneckers trucks with this bad boy. Thats for darn sure

So I couldn't resist calling the number. He says he's been trying to sell it on and off for about a year,

 

It's even got a barefoot gas pedal.
Imagine cruzin' to the Dairy Queen in that baby this summer. Too cool!

 

LOL stop at McDonalds drive thru, then Walgreens drive thru to pick up meds! that paints a funny picture in my head ! you would have to carry one of those gopher's everywhere! you know? those grabber things? reach down to the drive thru window?
OH THOSE CARS THAT GOTTA CUT IN FRONT OF YOU IN CONSTRUCTION !!! "OH !! I'M SORRY...DID i JUST RUN OVER YOU ?"

OH AND THOSE A-HOLES THAT LIKE TO DOOR DING YOUR CAR ! NOT A PROBLEM ANYMORE..." NO SIR, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT DOOR DING IN YOUR ROOF GOT THERE...

 

LOL,

Ya and I don't think anyone would say anything to you for double parking that rig either!

 

The MH Data tag says chassis weight =5500lbs so you would still need to add the weight of the winch and the box bed on the rear? Probably at least another 1500lbs??

thats an interesting little hump/cover thing on the roof too. he said it was his Uncles truck and he has passed away. I wonder if he has any pictures of the truck from when it was in service.

 

I hope you have better luck with this one, than I did with those '45's.

 

holy crap that thing is sweet.wonder how many ricers it would crush at once.

 

Josh - the bump on the roof is a window with a mirror so the driver can see up high behind him. These trucks were used for running wire, setting poles, etc. Chuck's got a '51 like it for sale, unless he's sold it by now. Stu

Ah, another one of my passions/hobbies.... If I could ever find a Fender Bass VI (1960's) I'd be a happy cat.

However the video's guitar was not used in the original recording, which was a Danaelectro bass 6.

Now back to your regular programming.

 

Here's Chuck's yellow '51 with the roof window, and a red '52 owned by one of our members that we haven't heard from in a while. As I remember he was debating whether to cannablize the '52 to use the cab on a dark sider. Maybe why we haven't heard from him in a while. Stu
