Nice looking truck even if it is an off brand.
I saw this on a flyer leaving the grocery store tonight.
The auction is 20 minutes from my house, I might need to go just to watch.
201786 - AuctionArrows
1946 1 1/2 ton flatbed. 6 cylinder.



Some cool looking old tools too:

That is a cool truck and close to you, GB! I'm not a MH expert but I think $12888 is a good price. If it was Meadow Green I might be interested! LOL

I've never seen the MH data plate on the inside of the door.

Oh that's much nicer than the first link.
That would be a good addition to your collection, abe. If any of yours broke down, you have a tow truck to get it home. That would save you money. I don't see how you can't buy it.

Sorry at first I accidently posted a 53 chev pickup. Not sure how I did that, but at least I was able to edit and get that Marlon Brando-Herrington up on the screen....

Oh, that explains why Joe said something about it being off brand and then posting a pic of a nice 46 Chevy flatbed.

Yeah, when he changed it to the correct link I figured people would really scratch their head on my post.

It's all cool! Got to the party too late to see the original post but the 53 looks nice. Can believe Truckdog hasn't commented on it.

Time to comment I guess. If the truck is fully operational as claimed I think it is fairly priced. While admittedly the big M-H models don't command the money of the half tons, the cost involved putting any truck back into operation is considerable. And if the M-H components, and wrecker bed equipment, are in good order it's hard to find fault. I agree that the M-H badge doesn't belong on the door. On 53s I've seen it would be mounted on the glove box door. Stu

In the first pic it looks like it is too high in the nose, but rear quarter view looks ok. Thanks for saving the pictures. And what's with the dual air cleaners? Offset in height and dual carbs I suppose??? Wow, you gotta be really old skool to run twin oil baths.....

I think the larger fender gap in the front, plus the hood being slightly open in that front on shot make it appear to sit nose high.
