    That’s it!!! ARI. That’s a nice find. Those are my favorite. 120” is perfect. Hard to find nowadays. I’d like to build one on a 96 or older WS 4964. New integrated ones are too expensive for my cheap freight box. Somewhere in Indiana there has to be some old ARIs laying around.

    Same Steel Cabs? Made in Ky. Same cab for about 20 yrs. till 97. Marmon closed down around 2000. Always knew about the Autocars, never knew Marmon used the same Cab as WS 4964 too.

    For 1976 KW released the special edition Bicentennial in both k100 and w900. They were the first aerodynes. 1977 they became a very expensive option. It wasn’t a “standard” thing until the anteater T600 came out in ‘85.

    I only know enough about them to be dangerously wrong ...lol
    I did know they used the same cab ..and they were built in Denton Texas.. I always thought they were kinda cool..
    There use to be a company in the mid 80's that hauled swinging meat that had Marmon company trucks .. I couldn't tell ya the company name though

    You could have a orgy in that with a dozen hookers and never see the same hooker twice

    You remember a guy down in Missouri I believe only sold big bunk trucks? Shelby was the name if I recall right.

    I’ve got an 03 FLD. Gutted the inside. Spray foam kit (from Home Depot $400) for the walls and ceiling. Quiet as a grave. Put in custom cabinets and a QUEEN sized fold down Murphy bed off the back wall for my wife and I. It’s perfect when she comes with and I did it on the cheap 15 years ago. Still suits my needs today
