I have known about that yard for years, but have not been able to get in. The owner always makes excuses. The most common one is "call me after Labor Day". Do you have some kind of an "in" with them?

Not that I was aware of, I deliver Diesel to him is all. But before I talked to him the cashier said basically the same thing to me, and she's worked there for 5+ years.

 

Guys, There is a Mercury Wrecker in Northport Washington. I have not seen it in 10 years. It was being used at the race track. It's a 62 COE and a damn big one. Anyone around there that can look for it?

 

Justin,
So, did he actually offer to let you in?

Well what he said was that next time I came by to go down and check out the wreckers, which could've been another way of side stepping the request. We'll see...

 

Hello I have just inquired a 1950 f7 with a colmen 4x4 conversion on it and I'm starting to restore it and I'm wanting to learn every thing about it

 

Hello i am wanting to leArn about these trucks because I have inquired one

 

You could start by reading this thread. Not sure from your post if you got one or merely quizzed one.

 

Yup, a lot can be learned in the pages of this thread. I'd also suggest reading Craig Trout's postings over on the Just Old Trucks site. Stu

Coleman Trucks

 

Ok yes I have totally inherited one from my dad he use to use it as his wrecker in his old auto dismantler it's a 1950 f7 the crazy thing bout it it has dually wheels front and rear and it's Colman 4x4 there's and it even has the plac on the dash were it describe how much torque and power this thing has but I'm just fascinated by this things history I'm just an 18 year old kid

 

I will post pics when I get it out of its hole and do they brake parts for these things any more

 

Guessing it probably had to run in quite a bit of mud hence the front duals. I've seen pictures of M-2-4 IHCs (ww2 USMC 1 ton) dualed on all four corners. Lucky for you inheriting it.

 

 

So the story on this truck was my dad got it from a old gold miner that used it in the rawhide gold mine to deliver some heavy stuff down the mountain and after it got used he drove it down of a canyon and a tree fell on the cab so my dad and his buddies got it fried up and drove it out of the canyon when it was sitting there for like 20 years then my. Dad used it as his boom truck at his junk yard my dad put a 283 small block chevy in it with a sm420 granny low transmission

 

There's a lot more detail to the story it just crazy I love it this truck just screams America
