This 1952 Ford F3 3/4 ton pick-up was converted to 4×4 in-period by well-known outfitted Marmon-Herrington, and has more recently been the recipient of a thorough restoration. Resprayed in factory-correct Sea Island Green, the flathead V8 powered truck has been driven only six miles since completion, with refurbishment seeing all major mechanicals either rebuilt or replaced with NOS parts. These heavy duty Marmon-converted four-bys are considerably scarcer than similar NAPCO builds, not to mention Dodge’s factory four wheel drive Power Wagon
Founded in 1931 and still in operation today, Marmon-Herrington is the successor to the Marmon Motor Car Company which was most famous for building the Wasp. The company manufactured its own transfer cases and axles, used both for vehicles of the firm’s design, as well as on semi-factory aftermarket conversions like that fitted to this Ford. The company was also heavily involved with buses, tanks, and armored cars
