    I was just thinking about some time past, my father used to work for a local company that had a Marmon. Don't know what model it was, but it was nice. Anyone remember these great "large cars"?

    Marmon...one of the last 'hand built' trucks. Not the prettiest, but most would probably out last most trucks built today on these automated assembly line factories.

    Worked for a Diamond Reo dealer overseas in Guam in the early 90's. But ugly, but they lasted, as would any truck when spec'd right.

    Brockway trucks were built using Mack cab' and fenders. They were popular in the east. Many had Dayton wheels.

    I wanted to say - don't trust 'em they're all polygamists! Then I realized it said 'Marmon' not 'Mormon'. :p
