Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
That is a good find. Thanks for pics. Could you take a couple of the transfer case? Guessing it is a two speed? I have the 2 piece Wisconsin in my 52 F3, and got the Fuller single piece and front axle from an F5 or 6. Curious if the Fuller was the same in the earlier trucks.

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
It has the correct MH triangle from early years, curious about the serial number plate. The jail-bar years said Ford V8, this says Ford.
Does this truck have the shift instruction plate and lube instructions?

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
I cannot even begin to tell you how cool that thing is! Obviously was a fire engine. No rust, no dents and no errors. Ya done real good there.

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
I didn’t see the W. I am/was under the impression the Wisconsin case was due to Korean War. May have learned something.

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
We’d benefit from having Chuck drop by to comment. He did tell me, as you suggest, that the Fuller was the standard t/c during our trucks’ era (i.e. Korea), and that the Wisconsin was fitted on some to meet production demands. But there’s clearly more history here than we know on the subject.
I just went to the Marmon Heritage book for the model designations and on quick look it appears the B6-4 was the 158” wheelbase conversion model. The V isn’t listed but clearly has significance. Stu

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
After doing a little Digging from different sources my guess on the serial number is
B6 = 157” wheelbase V6 = 1-1/2 ton 4 = 4x4/ two axle |

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
Now I’m confused. The shift pattern data plate shows High/Neutral/Low ranges for a two speed t/c, and the pictured shift lever is positioned, as in later trucks, for the high/low range selection. Is there no second shift lever located between driver’s knees that engaged or disengaged AWD? Or were these early big trucks instead AWD at all times, as were the early half ton and one ton models? Stu

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
AWD at all times. Another interesting thing, I read in the Marmon Heritage book that the 1935 1 1/2 ton Ford trucks were standard with mechanical brakes however as an option Marmon Herrington offered a hydraulic brake upgrade in conjunction with their AWD upgrade. This truck has the hydraulic brake upgrade. I was told that this was originally an Air Field Fire truck in California so it was military.

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
You’ve certainly done your homework on the truck. The Marmon Heritage book is a great reference. Your next task might be to find the M-H maintenance and parts manual for the truck, or more likely a copy of it. This is where Chuck Mantiglia might be of help, in addition to offering his overall superior knowledge of the breed. Oldest info I have is the 1939 parts list for the F-5/F-6 M-H models (no relation to later Ford F-5s or F-6s). That era might share some parts with your truck, but I believe I’m seeing that yours has the closed drive line where the later trucks had open drive lines so there are big differences there. Below is a link to Chuck’s Trucks if you’ve not already contacted Chuck. Stu

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
Lots of add ons, very unusual and cool! Very well could be military or well drilling assist vehicle or Fire Dept. Hard to tell when assessors were added.

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
Learning a little more about the truck. Chuck says the data plate belongs to a different truck from the 50s.

Really? What did he say a B6V54 coding belongs to? Stu

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
According to Chuck “That's a data plate from a 1951-52 F-6, with the 254 6 cylinder engine.”

Re: 1935 Ford Marmon Herrington
Hmmm. Is the B for a bus? I understand the 6 (254), V (F-6) 5 (probably wheelbase), and 4, as you said, four single axle wheel sets. Stu
