Ford Marmon-Herrington V8 1.5 Ton GS

Well that SnoGo up there is mine, but I'll admit the cargo truck looks more usable.

Some points to note.

1. The SnoGo version was extremely heavy, with the heaviest suspension you could get on that chassis and all manner of helper springs, etc. It also sits on the optional 18" wheels and 18 x 8.25" tyres and not the much more common 20" ones.

2. The SnoGo chassis is shorter that you would want for fitting the standard 1.5 ton Budd cargo body by about 10" or 12". You could make it look right but you'd have to shorten the (already rare) body, so you would actually be better to cut a more common GMC 6 x 6 body.

3. No problem identifying the ones built on SnoGo chassis as they have the most humungous crawler gearbox mid-chassis - bigger than the main transmission and transfer put together.

As far as I know that Supply Mech was just for the SnoGo variant.
