Another Big Beauty!

Gotta hand it to the US Forest Service, don't know how long this beauty was in their fleet, but it looks great!

Let's hope it finds a good home - location is certainly a challenge.

That would be quite a drive. It might be a little big to carry on most trailers, and must weigh around 6,000 pounds. Looks like a great truck and it's a no reserve auction.

I didn't know F1s were rated as 2 ton trucks.

With so few miles, that's a 'drive home' buy. Wait, we are going to Colorado soon and that's practically in the neighborhood....

Out in that part of the country nothing is "in the neighborhood". A drive to the neighbor's house could be a hour or more drive.

That is a nice truck even for a monkey face! yes Stu is testing my breaking point. I love the 51 COE marmon but ive spent alot this winter on new projects ( 51 f2 &f3 mh's and donor trucks so ive got to move some others along.

That same seller just sold this one i was watching on ebay, not because i was going to try an catch it but just like to watch them. It is a neat truck but im a bit amazed by its final bidding price!!!!

I think a truck like this would make a great undercover RV. I saw one in a magazine once.

That first truck is not too far from me, but I sure don't need it. Nice truck though.
BTW, "not too far" in MT is usually 300 miles or less....LOL.

I just noticed that the 49 F5 has no reserve and it is only at $1225! But location is everything, isn't it?

Not to worry, it's in Tinman's backyard - a Montana backyard - he can mail it to the winning bidder.

Unless this auction runs up in the last days, someone could be getting a heck of a deal.
