The driveshafts started mixing in while chain drives were still being used. Coleman started building trucks and ended up also doing conversions, such as NAPCO, Marmon-Herrington, Howe, etc

Here's a Ford conversion:

Wow those are beautiful

mud.man.rj · 07-17-2017, 11:12 PM

I agree, all 3 just stand out.

**special-K** · 07-18-2017, 10:41 AM

I think it's cool that Marmon-Herrington didn't only convert (mostly) Ford cars and trucks to 4wd, they also did the special body work, etc and created the Ranger (carry all from a panel)

**HO455** · 07-19-2017, 11:10 PM

Yep those Rangers are super cool!

**special-K** · 07-23-2017, 07:15 AM

I never commented on that '57 Unimog. WOW '57!! They were advanced off road vehicles even 20-30 years later. Still are. So this one is a former beach patrol unit. Very cool historic vehicle. Looks like a Folbot (kayak) on that restored one

Did I show this? If I showed it twice it's probably because there is nothing interesting or desirable about it

67swb72klb · 07-23-2017, 08:30 AM

I am not the f*rd guy but I like that 51

One of the first things I noticed about this was the fuel fill and that lead me to wonder how much fuel it holds? 75 gallons? 100 gallons? 200 gallons?
Then I started thinking about what its operational weight was? Because I'm sure they loaded it with all the tools you could cram in those boxes. And four people. I discounted the camper weight as it was a later add on. So rough guess fully loaded 11,000 lbs.
Wait a minute look at the camper. It goes all the way over the crew cab!!!!!!! It was orginal!!!!???? Yikes better add another 3500 lbs for a loaded camper of that size and age. Had to be an oil company rig as they were the only ones who could afford to keep it filled up.
Truly cool.

I agree! That thing has to weigh a bunch too!

**special-K** · 08-01-2017, 09:34 AM

Yeah, heavy, long, and low. Not your ideal formula for the best off road design. I love that thing anyway. Definitely a relic to me. I guess I could afford to run it to the campground less than 10 miles from here, but there's no gas station between us.

I know I could use this!

I think so. That's one thing about Dodge back then, they put a lot of effort into trucks. They not only had 1t 4wds, the 1t trucks were built like a medium duty...such as the '92-up C3500HDs. They were actually ahead of their time with their trucks that seemed outdated

I found one of these a couple of weekends ago with no bed. I couldn't get a good pic by the time I went back it was dark. No one was home so I'll have to drive out there and see what is up with it.

This was referring to post #628 with the yellow dodge 1.5 or 2 ton drw dump truck.

very nice restoration. ..

Ewww.... steering knuckle broke? Broke loose? I damaged both on a '71 K/20 when it took off down the hill and through a barn wall (no spring on brake release and didn't quite grab). Both tires hit the posts at either end of that section of wall. Truck was still idling with lights on. I backed it up and headed up the lane for work... except I soon learned it would go anything but straight. Way toed out on both sides. The arms the tie rods mount to you could see had been bent straighter. Back then you could buy loaded knuckles from the dealership (ball-joints pressed in)

Cool find. Go check it out and let us know what you came up with when you get a chance. Hopefully with pictures.

Here's a neat little big IH dump

mud.man.rj · 11-10-2017, 04:52 PM

Nice short IH plow truck, could get into a lot of area's easier.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-01-2017, 04:34 PM

That's a sweet rig too! I know exactly what I'd do to both of them though.

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 06:33 PM

I've always wanted a Willys pickup. Never wanted a Ford. But I want one of these F75s

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 06:36 PM

These were built for over 20 years, till '83 I think

RANDY COX · 10-08-2017, 06:56 PM

WOW special-K those trucks are KOOL, we have a automotive dealership here in town and they have some Import vehicles right hand drive, and they had some mitzutubishi jeeps that look just like the ole willy's jeep,with right hand drive they were so Kool, and they even had the willy's wagon that was made in the 80's and it even had AC in it, I wanted one of those so bad, I saw cars and some mini 4x4 vans that were diesels that were so KOOL too....they make some KOOL stuff over seas...
