Goddamn right. My '65 F250 4X4 is all truck. Manual Gemmer steering, NP435 4 speed, 4.56 gears, manual brakes 33" tires and everything is original but the engine, which is about 250 hp stronger (minus any nitrous) than the original. I drove it to work for 10 years, ran it stupid hard, its still sitting here as 4-square as it ever was, and if I could see I would still be driving it. I still love it. Yeah it steers hard, rides rough, is in tip top mechanical shape and has way too stupid much power. Wait a minute isn't that the definition of a hot rod?
That panel was restored in original Edmonton City Police colours and they bring it out to all the car shows
I have five napcos and three marmon herringtons, all 1/2 ton trucks. I'm looking for more marmon herringtons. Terry
just surfing around and found this ol' thread That was me, I sold that beauty to a collector from Oregon. jj had some interest in it at one time but I think he thought I was asking too much....no worries. That was a fine truck and I was almost positive it was one of the trucks in that video. later
WHY CANT WE ALL GET ALONG AND ENJOY THE CARS,TRUCKS,ECT,ECT THAT WE LIKE WITHOUT SOMEBODY HAVING TO TALK SHIT ABOUT IT!!!! JESSE YOU ARE FUCKING GAY ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS BUT I DONT SAY ANYTHING!!!
Well, as I'm reading thu an old post... When did Chevy use the Buick engine? Have some documentaion to explain?
ihave the 58 gmc napco panel 4x4 with 307 from my 68 impala ...tell me...how r they in the deep mud??? sink like a stone
the guy i bought it from said it was towed from edmonton to calgary where i bought it...was a forestry green with a huge front bumper so i painted the panel camo and will leave the body last to restore!
Cool video, I looked for a napco, colman, or marmon-herrington conversion chevy or ford for a few years with no luck before I decided to build one to use as a daily.
The guy who posted those trucks hasn't been here since December 2008, so he probably won't see your message...
They're cool but if I had to lay down serious cash for a rolling chassis just to convert one of my trucks to a 4X, I'd personally choose newer, stronger running gear at a better price.
I got this Napco 4x4 short bed truck yesterday and its a 23k original milage truck, very clean, I will most probably sell it.....its very clean......
