Greg Rider Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Let's see,,,rust stain down the front from the radiator cap area,,that door is open by the way,,probably indicitive of an ongoing overheat issue. The passenger wiper arm is very tired or broke and hanging. What is the red thing hanging from the back of the passenger side fuel tank? I love the Farmington custom bilateral wood bumper combo.

vision386 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think they were going for a "ghetto" version of the old style White-freightliner 2 piece split bumper,plywoods a whole lot cheaper and much easier to cut into the shape of a bumper!

ThaddeusW Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Looks close to an old Marmon or Dodge cabover but isn't. Possibly a Mexican built truck, they do have some manufactures down there. Westernstar once partnered with one (started with an R i think) and sold their class 7 chassis here as Westernstar. Only saw one. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

LOL!Nice looking Marmon-I like it I do wish I could find a model kit like that now though-looks like the same one I got for my younger brother for Christmas one year...about 40 years ago.

bobo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's a Marmon, built in the USA! Texas Not Mexico! the plant and name I think were bought by Navistar(IH),at one time Ford owned them. They were hand built and GREAT TRUCKS! the truck in question is 67/68 vintage? b0b0 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17669-puzzler-of-the-day-3/#findComment-71362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thats a good guess,but its NOT a Marmon! here are some pictures of 2 Marmon cabovers (same vintage 1978) for comparison, i agree they do look a lot alike,but this particular truck was designed,built and sold in mexico.......Keep tryin'!
