This 1952 Ford F-5 Marmon Herrington project, and is equipped with a running 239 flathead V-8, a 4 speed transmission, and a M-H All Wheel Drive system, with a two speed transfer case, 12 volt conversion, and power brakes. The entire Hydro-Vac brake system has been rebuilt or replaced. Also, the truck has new seat covers. This truck began service as a brush fire engine in Monroe Township, MI, and was used to fight seasonal wildland fires. When I bought the truck it had just under 39K miles on it, but did not come with the fire engine "bed". A F-5 with a 134" wb, is designed to take a 9' factory flatbed, which are difficult to locate in CA. I came across a 1953 Ford 9' step side bed, which fit the frame. I had this bed camouflaged for the 1952 F-5, by swapping the rear fenders and tailgate from a 1952 bed, and fabricating long running boards. It came out looking like a really tough pick up, especially, with the interesting 18" Goodyear rims. The rims are two-piece, that have a rim base weigh of 43.8 lbs, the side rim weighs 12.1 lbs, for a total of 55.9 lbs per rim. The tires are older Firestone all terrain. Any rust issues have been addressed, but this is a running project. Doors and hood open and close easily. The red is the factory color, but there are small dents, and blemishes to be dealt with, if your looking for a show truck. The door glass has cracks, but the other glass is good. I plan on taking the truck to the Pomona Swap meet on March 5th, so the truck is for sale locally. Feel free to ask any questions.
