1957 Ford F-800 Cab and Chassis Additional Info:
1956 Ford F-800 original Marmon Herrington 4 wheel drive. Title states 1956.
Cab Condition. As you can see by the pictures the cab is in good condition with solid floors and basic surface rust where any rust is visible. Yes there are small dents and dings as expected from a vehicle that started its life as a dump truck.
Engine. 332 cubic inch MEL. This is the first version of the MEL engine platform. Engine is seized and has been for quite a while. Fortunately this year and several years up to 1962 has the same engine to transmission bolt pattern as the Ford FE series, 352, 390, etc. if you are looking for a quick motor swap. 63 thru 66 MEL motors have there own unique bolt pattern.
Chassis. Frame is in excellent condition. All the 4wd control systems are in place with no missing pieces. Bonus, it has the original Rockwell T226 transfer case, original front and rear axles as well. The truck rolls easily and steering functions normally. Remember this chassis has only 36k miles.
Addition information. I brought this truck down from Canada where it lived all its life this past weekend along with two other treasures. Means never exposed to salt.
The title is a clear Canadian title. Back window was removed and is in one piece. Rubber was bad.
Here ya go.
-Wheel base, 178".
-Center of front wheel to front of front bumper, 44".
-Center of rear wheel to end of rear frame, 35".
- front tires are 77" outside to outside.
- rear tires are 94" outside to outside.
-Weight estimate, 7,500#
So long as its paid for right away it can sit for a good 4 weeks.
I was thinking today what kind of 4x4 does the reserve price buy today? Really you wouldnt get much. We think this is an honest price for what it is and bringing a vehicle this size down 1200 miles from Canada wasn't cheap
