Marmon

U know the history and that parts are hard to find....so what else would you like or need to know?

 

MARMON trucks are the Roles Roice of the truck world I have driven 5 of them in my 25 years of trucking 2 of whitch I owened, and still run my 1991 57P. other than body parts most every thing on the truck you can find on another brand of truck just look at the part do some homework to know if you need to go to Mack, KW, Pete or so on for that part

 

Ok CbarM. We've been told to ignore each other by forum staff, but I'm willing to give this another go if you are. Let's just keep it professional, not personal. Agreed ?

As far as Marmon's go, any Marmon I've ever driven (3 - one bunk, one day cab, one dump truck) has been a solid, well built unit. I have friends in New England that still have Marmon's. Parts for same are seeming readily available in New York and Pennsylvania. Search on-line IE eBay. Marmon's, being generally 'boxy' in shape, are fairly easily duplicated for body panels. Engines and tranny parts are all stock. IE Cummins and Eaton.

many Marmon's still in service from New Brunswick, south thru New England to the Carolina's. Many many still in service in Maine, NY, MA, PA, etc

There are 'secret' Marmon burial grounds in Long Island, NY, and in northern PA, outside of Scranton. Original parts are getting rusty and scarce, but still around as templates for duplication.

Canada's equivalent ** cough cough ** and I use the term loosely .... of the Marmon was the SCOT built by the Irving family in Debert, NS. Basically a truck copied from Ford, Volvo, White, and International, and fitted with a stock power train. SCOT's are now sought after collectables. The only real 'virgin' SCOT's were the heavy duty off roads. See my profile albums for picture.
