Mine is a 1956 F250 Line truck

 

My 52 is always handy for hauling.

 

I'll take it, as is!!!

 

I jumped on a hunch and just bought one w/2 trannies for $150.

And a pic to stay on topic.

 

That's a gorgeous wrecker, Havi. I saw the pic and the words about you buying one for $150 and about croaked myself. Made me do a double take.

 

Come on Stu, its time to come out of the closet and just admit to the world that you've been secretely admiring the monkey faced trucks...

...the first step is the toughest....LOL

Well, the other thing I've thought I might do is rebody it as a '51. I've got all that stuff, plus that'd neutralize Bob Jones' sins for putting '48-'50 sheet metal on his '51 F-4. Unless, of course, that'd make me a dark sider! Stu

 

LOL...

Careful Stu...thats a slippery slope

 

Stay strong Stu! dont let them get to you. everyone knows you only bought that monkey face because of the MH gear it has. i really dig the one front tire chain.

 

Don't make me find a '51 or '52 to put my extra monkey face on.

 

Sounds like when Mom or Dad used to threaten to pull the car over to the shoulder to settle an argument going on in the back seat.

Truth is the truck deserves to stay a 1950. For some reason most of the F-2 or F-3 Marmon-Herringtons that have survived are 1952s. I've asked Chuck if he can think of why that might be but he didn't know of any reason. I can think of maybe five 48-50s that have surfaced since I've been keeping track (going on 10 years), I can think of four 1951s, and a dozen or more '52s. Stu

 

Your dad must have had shorter arms than my old man

Could be that the WWII Surplus 4x4 Trucks were starting to dry up

 

Wow! What a great thread - I just lost 4 hours of my life.

<O</OAttached is a photo (if I can still do this - why is this so hard?) of a super-heavy load I hauled last early-September.<O></O>

 

Hmmm...the more things change...
