military Marmon Harrington
I have been offered this truck and the owner claims it is army. In his words it is a "Ford with a Marmon Harrington conversion." I only just got the photos and haven't been to see it yet. Any ideas?

The Army did have a lot of Ford M/H gun tractors most with the roadster type body on them but I do know they had some with the full cab as well. Others with more knowledge could tell you if this truck is a genuine military version but any Ford M/H is worth getting depending on purchase price.

Marmon-Herrington
Concur with Cliff
Military; not necessarily a gun tractor but the Marmon-Herrington 4 wheel drive makes it an interesting and worthwhile acquisition. Once you have it look for the Army Registration Number (ARN) painted on the bonnet somewhere under the post-war paint. This will hopefully identify what it was fitted with when taken into service.

Military, but not a Snogo
Many were SnoGo units with the blower taken off, but not this one.
Also, the cab side pressing has three ribs - not a 42, which had 2 ribs. I can't remember if the three-rib version was 1941 or 1940 though. Gordon
