The poor guy who buys this mess, I didn't know that a 56 came with a 460 AND the MH conversion

 

Hmm, 460 with and auto. And fully charged ac.. Can't get a good look at the front axle, but it looks to have lockout hubs. Hmm does this mean I can make my truck an MH by slapping on some badges? Nice looking truck, but doubt worth 35K

 

OK, which one of you asked to see pics of the transfer case?!

 

The front axle is a 1966-71 Bronco Dana 30 thats been modified to work with leaf springs. Probably has the matching 9" rear axle from the same vehicle.

 

Nice looking truck, just misrepresented

 

Yeah, I agree. Might be a great truck and perfectly suited to modern use. No reason to mis-label it. Stu

 

Yes, that truck looked suspicious when I saw it last night.

Do they repop the MH badges?

I have never seen a true MH truck with hubcaps on...

Is the big lever on the floor the automatic tranny shifter or is that the transfer case shifter? I think it is for the tranny.

It is a nice looking truck, but not $35,000 nice!

 

Ant the reserve hasn't been met.

 

Don't know RE MH badges. I would suspect they could be made easily.

I suspect the shifter shown is a modern, possibly Lokar shifter. Look closely and I believe you can see the shift pattern on the ****. I don't see anything that looks like a TC shift lever.

 

Chuck has the repop badges for my era truck, so I suspect he also has them for the later models. Stu

 

That is a nice looking truck. Maybe the current owner doesn't know much about it.
35K without meeting the reserve though....that is sure out of my range.

 

A very nice looking truck... clean and well done, but... totally misrepresented. Either the guy was duped when buying it or is trying to pass on the scam. A perfect example of needing to do one's homework when wanting to buy something like a MH or any "numbers matching factory correct" muscle car. There is alot of this stuff out there. Let the buyer beware!

 

I think that someone, more knowlegable then me, should notify e-pay about this misrepresentation - Someone is going to get took with no recourse, kinda like the guy trying to peddle it.

 

The M-H badge lists the truck as a model M254. Can you guess what that translates to? That's right, a 3/4 ton F-250, not an F-100. Now that I've paid better attention to all the pictures, the main dash badge is no doubt one of Chuck's repops. But the brass AWD/RWD one on the dash has been cleaned up 'cause I don't think Chuck has reproduced it yet. So somewhere along the line the builder started out with a M-H that let them use the good numbers to have Chuck make the new badge. I'm no expert on the '56 models, but can say from doing my own that I really doubt there's a M-H transfer case under it. With the automatic it'd be a real tight fit. Wish Chuck would drop by here to comment. At the least the seller should hear that the number doesn't go with an F-100. I'll email Chuck to ask if he's already told the seller. Stu

 

Chuck's reply to my email, cut and pasted with his permission. I'll look into what's involved giving eBay a heads up. Stu
