marmon-herrington 56 big job
I hit the jackpot today.I got a hood-nice and 3 front fenders also nice and a glove box door for cheap
The big surprise is I also made a deal on a FACTORY ORIGINAL 4 wheel drive-actually 6 wheel drive(duals) Marmon-Herrington 1956 ford F800? big job. I was so wound up I hardly looked at the road on the way home!!!!
I will try to get it home next week. I have a partner with a semi and I think that would be the easiest way---it is huge.
I am on cloud 9!!!!LOL!!!!!I was wondering what this will be worth?
I already have all the parts for the F600s and I will be getting into the big jobs now. The wife thinks I am crazy--but she is ok with it.
Let me know what the going price would be on the market now. Thanks Bill

Wow! Looks like the deal of the century to me! You say you have all the parts for F-600's? May I ask where you got them? Been looking for fenders, hood, grill, and even a complete cab for my 55 f600 for a long time and only finding parts more rusted out than what I already am driving! Next step is to try to install a 56 cab and sheet metal on my 55.

I hope to haul the m-h home next week,but the guy said that it will need time because he doesn't want me to make a mess in his yard. I wonder what the 4 wheel drive m-h conversions numbers are. How many were built in 56? I think this baby is complete,and has a bunch of stuff in the cab. oH--WELL---wife will be makin' me sleep in barn next-LOL

There was one of those on EBAY about 6 mo ago....
It was a 53 F8/800 Marmon. dumptruck down around Carson City NV. it had a starting price of $500 and no one bid on it.
I toyed with the idea for a while and finally came to my senses....It would have cost a fortune to go get it and probably a fortune to fix it and a fortune to drive it now.......
I still want it!!
Cheers,
Rick

Walford: Please post us some pictures ASAP! Where are you? I Know of 2 matched F-800 M&H trucks which were purchased new by highway departments of the Towns of Caroline and Berkshire, East of Ithaca NY. They were complete with V plows and wings! Last I talked with anyone up that way was in 1998, they were still in exisatance in private hands and probably VERY rusty.
yours probably has the 332 Y block although I think there may have been a Lincoln 361 Y block avasilable?
Good Luck
