This chassis intrigues me. I really like the way front and rear ends are constructed with the tracking rods. Fascinatingly constructed. The spring sets are VERY thick, and there are overriders with stops. This was a very strong looking truck.

I really don't want nor need another project, but I also don't want to see these old trucks get scrapped. I know the owner doesn't want them. They are in his way, and he's sick of having them around. From speaking with him, I think if I offer a couple of hundred or so, I could get the one without engine. Maybe a little more for the engined chassis could get me that one as well. Before I even consider thinking about any offer of prices, I want to know what the hell I'm looking at. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Guys!

Red one is a 1938 Ford with mechanical brakes I think. The other a Ford/Marmon Herrington gun tractor chassis most likely.

Are either of these sufficiently sought after to warrant making offer/s for them?
Sadly, the MH chassis has a rather damaged rear cross member. That would have to be repaired. I guess they are a good source of parts if restoring one already.

Good day Tony,
My theory is they don't make them anymore, somebody will eventually want them, and you can always trade/sell them for stuff you do want. The gentleman offered them to you so he must have an idea what he wants for them, also that sometimes makes for better haggling unless he has checked prices on ebay. The Marmon is definitely worth trying to save, but hundreds of dollars not thousands. Cheers Ken
