Great historical pictures, ya a 440 boattail roadster!!
not so sure about the blade setup tho
,i could see the front differential assembly trying to walk out from underneath the chassis !!!!
Ford flathead v-8's had a habit of heating in cars ! two waterpumps pushing water in different directions into a single radiator was'nt the greatest idea .

the photo is of one of the first new and improved 743's with the Hemi V-8, 331 c.i. and your 743 is the later design, thus a different grill
My first thought was that there was a gasoline fire event. These Merc flat head V-8 Tuckers had a monocot bodies, pretty novel for the times. Do to hard use on Mt. Hood, the sheet metal failed in the front section and reinforcement was welded inside, causing the paint to burn thus the miss-coloration.
from the where are they now files, and this one is amazing to think about,
serial number 144001, first photo is of JJ Tucker at the wheel of No. 001, Grass Valley, California, yes, it is painted white, and the second photo is of the very same machine, and under the green paint, is the original white paint, yup, it does run...
FYI, the trailer, well it is being used as a garden trailer, pulled by an old cub cadet.
Merry Christmas to all and to all and very happy Tucker new year

So.... Have any of the 440 unicorns surfaced as of yet?
mt bachelor late 60's or early 70's, anyone remember the massive machine, snow cat skiing to the top of mt bachelor.
the good looking guy, standing in front of the monster size Tucker, is believed to be Bill Healy, owner and operator of MT Bachelor, Bend, Oregon.

I sorta remember skiing in Levis, leather boots and Marker long thong bindings... and many days in the hospital with a severe ankle fracture.
Ahhh, Alabama woolens
you would need to ask Clyde at the Tucker Sno-cat factory, he is the man with access to all the corporate files to answer such questions, he is the man!
