    Had a Marmom Day Cab with a smaller Cat about 35 years ago. It was running when picked up. Came out of Chicago Limestone Pits. Made a great Farm Truck. It cleaned up nice. The Farmers who bought it are still working it. Nice find……keeping my fingers crossed. Thank You for another great Video !! H.

    My step-father worked for Space Corporation in Garland Texas in the mid to late sixties when the Marmon trucks were built there. It was cool when he would take me to see all the hands on manufacturing. I've been a fan of these beautiful trucks ever since then. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

    This is a find for sure, had a 1985 with a 425 Kitty and a 13spd, I miss the old girl, I use to live in Acworth in Cherokee county, outside of Villa Rica on the Eastside by the truck stop, my old 1976 K-100 double bunk flat top Kenworth is sitting, I sold it to my step brother who passed shortly afterwards and his wife had it parked in the woods, I had just totally rebuilt the entire drive train and it had a 530HP 1693 Cat motor and 15spd, that truck was a beast. Maybe one day I'll see it on your channel.

    Hi jim, don't beat yourself up over this, you did your best, and as you indicated earlier these types of trucks are rare, parts are ridiculously scarce, and it's just one of those times some trucks just don't want to be resurrected back on the open road.

    Wow you don't find these trucks often anymore! They were built in Richardson, TX not really far from where I live and I believe it was 91 when the official last truck left the factory. Navistar took the plant over and ran there for decades building the sever duty trucks and some military trucks. It too closed a hand full of years ago. A guy who drove for us bought a new one around this time and I believe he said he got one of the last ones that was left. Very interesting trucks and too bad there so hard to keep up with parts. I think they look really nice. Marmon's customization process killed them because they couldn't build in mass quantities like the big guys do.
