Yeah, I sure hope we hear back from 51fordf-2 about his truck. And even if he has gone ahead with his original mention of making it a custom or rat rod, knowing what came of it would be of interest. If that is the path he's taken, and he's pulled the M-H parts off of it, I for one would have interest in rescuing those pieces. Or at least it would allow some other guy to recreate a correct F-2 M-H from the donor pieces. If 51fordf-2 would prefer not to post here, there's private messages and the visitor contact method that is less public. Stu

 

Where did OP go?

 

Did you guys scare off another one? Guess we can't leave you unsupervised..

But honestly would love to see more on this truck.. Real rare bird.. Would live it in my collection.

 

I'm gonna try again on this, hoping this member and his truck resurface. I talked today with a different new member in CA that also has an F-2 Marmon-Herrington. I asked him if his truck had perhaps come to him from Oregon, where this mystery truck is/was located. I was told he got his truck from the original owner, and it has been in California its whole life. So there is still this mystery F-2 Marmon-Herrington out there somewhere. I'd sure like to hear from this member to at least allow the truck's information to be archived with the other surviving F-2/3 Marmon-Herringtons. Stu

 

Good luck. His last post (only made 2) on FTE was on April 4, 2013. I think he really did disappear. Maybe the question about the title caused an unpleasant discovery?

 

Wasn't there an M-H on the Oregon coast for sale somewhat recently? I don't recall the series. Could it have been the same one? Wasn't Ilya or someone going to look at it? Or am I thinking of something totally different and CRS is setting in?

 

No, it sold. It's a half ton 52. It needed (probably still needs) a front axle. The owners efforts to find one, not for me to go into here unless he drops by to describe himself, were an ordeal. Last time I talked to him he was discouraged.

My hope in resurrecting this is that the brief time F-2 member that started this thread will receive one of the reply email prompts and come back to check in. Since there's just a handful of these trucks left it's a shame for it to disappear from the face of the earth. Stu
