farmer52 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 this is the one in Texas I've been trying to get for a few years. It's heavy spec'ed for oil patch work.Looks solid, just needs some detailing. Good luck in obtaining this truck.Did Marmon make their own cab? It kinda looks like a PACCAR cab.

felicello122 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looks solid, just needs some detailing. Good luck in obtaining this truck.Did Marmon make their own cab? It kinda looks like a PACCAR cab.they made the cab and hood, I bought one back in 1986, similar to this Texas one. It was a pretty good truck, had problems with the fenders breaking away from the hood, they gave me a new hood and that broke also, they would do no more. I bought the truck off quality when he was a dealer. The doors panels would always come loose and the wipers sucked, they were air, the newer ones changed to electric. They did have a lot of leg room due to the flat dash, mine had a 400 cat with a 9 speed and air ride which was Hendrickson, and use to rip shocks apart, I don't think I would have bought another if they were still around.

41chevy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I went with my uncle to Denton to pick it up. He flew down and spec'ed it out at the factory. Don't know if that made a difference in build any. The only problem I've had since 1995 is it ate the sleeper to cab seal once. Taken it every April for the past 7 years to the Marmon Home Coming in Denton Texas with no problems so far, but it has has an easy life for 25 years. Hauled cattle corn and spinach when it was new, 4 trips a year.

I'm gonna fix it up when ah get time" That's what I hear each time I talk to him. The interior was vandalized when it was first parked, but at least the windows are rolled up against the critters moving in. I don't expect it will ever be sold or restored sadly.

Green Dash Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 If it's the company I'm thinking of they moved to Chester NY. I believe one of the guys name was Steve Gillette. They also had dump trucks. DM 800's that were green, gold, and red. They parked in Mahwah too years ago. Yep, the family's name was Gillette.
