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.

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.

So rare that I don't recall ever seeing one in real life. What an awesome find! I notice that you're blacking out the name on the door, probably the request of the current owner.

The engine is cranking and was almost starting all it needed was application of quick start. Quick start helps not to drain the battery quickly and not to burn the starter motor. In Zambia, I could have used petrol to start it. Good luck guys.
