I'd say it's an F-5 Ford firetruck

You are correct. I'm very excited to add this Marmon Herrington equipped F5 to my garage. It probably will not be a fire truck for long and it probably won't stay Lime Green/Yellow very long.

Burlew, welcome to FTE the best Ford Truck Forum on the world wide Web!

You have started well here on FTE by posting pics of your new truck, including a pic of the differential and the MH badge. We like pictures but now you need to show more of the exterior, interior, and under the hood. What else do you have in your stable?

Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum. I will add more pics soon.

Other Ford horses in the stable include the following:
6 - 1966 Bronco U13s
1 - 1966 Bronco U14
1 - 1967 Bronco U13
1 - 1968 Bronco U15
2 - 1972 Bronco U15s
1 - 1975 Bronco U15
1 - 2010 Raptor
1 - 2011 F350 King Ranch

I might be a Ford guy. The 1948 F5 is the oldest Ford I've owned.

Hey Burlew
I didn't see any sirens, lights or door markings for a fire truck... plus it's a unique yellow color.. What's the smoke stack for? So... what is your plan for the truck?

It does have a vintage siren that mounts on the fender and I think the stack you are seeing is the top fill for the water tank. I will research the fire truck equipment and find out what I've got. I have two early Broncos currently being rebuilt so it will have to get in line if I decide to totally restore. It has 8k miles on it and no rust so restoration would be pretty easy. I will do enough to keep in condition for light driving.Kudos to the fire departments that previously owned the truck. They kept it in great condition.Do you know any experts with Marmon Herringtons?
