Todays bronco hunt

[frenchy]

So the other day at work a guy tells me he saw a yellow bronco and said it was around a 65. Ok I said where is it. He told me and again said he thought it was a 65. I didn't correct him on the years produced, was just happy he told me about it. That was last thursday. So today I hop in the truck and head down the road south of me to see if I can find it. No luck bummer! So on the way home I took a different route just to see what might be lurking beside some different roads all country. I ended up in another little town south of me. So I turn north on to a state highway and start home. Got to a little town that I've been thru lots of times and come to a auto repair shop and as I go by I catch a glimps of a 60's ford truck. I turn the truck around and go back to see what it was and low and behold it's a cab,bed and drivetrain built Marmon Herrington 60's ford truck. It was still in pretty good shape I think. I continued north and stopped at the other auto repair shop where this EB has been sitting for close to 10 years. I used to stop every year when I first saw it to see if the guy would sell it and leave my phone number. No was the answere evrytime. So I quit stopping. Today I stopped and took a pic of it and the marmon. If anyone knows of someone who might be interested in the marmon let me know and I could get some info on it.
Enjoy

Marmon Herrington converted trucks to 4x4 when the big 3 didn't and by the looks of this one did body conversions also. I 'll have to check into it more online.

Looks like a custom made Postal vehicle built for mail delivery down muddy roads.

The MH looks to be a 57' by the grille, after Ford started making 4x4's in house only odd ball builds were sent out to MH you'll still some of their axles under Ford F600 if you happen to see one.

Thanks Steve, I wondered what year it was.They still produce axles and transfercases in KY. Mostly for the military. Originaly the were built in Indianapolis Indiana.
