Rarest trucks??

Saw a marmon cabover going down the road last week. First time I've seen one on the road. Unfortunately was going the other direction on a two lanes and it was raining. Would have loved to catch up with him and have a look.

 

Don’t Forget Auto Car. B model Mack’s and my favorite of all time Diamond Reo

 

Back when they went out of Business their was a Car Dealer in Janesville Wi. Who just got set up with them and before He could even get 1 Truck to sell they Went out. The Guy was done so wrong. He then got Western Star Dealership. Meanwhile he had a big trailer full of parts Dealer sign. He was trying to get rid of it all at a discount. I wonder what ever happened. It was in late 90s

 

Not many Cascadias around.

 

the guy down the road from me here at home has a small fleet. He has autocar, White and Oshkosh trucks in his fleet, and I think he just bought a couple old marmons. He hauls dirt, so these trucks are perfect for him.

He does have something I told him I would give him $50k for - 1974 GMC astro cabover with a 12V71 with less than 65k miles on it. It was garage kept (literally) for all of its life.

 

A Lot of the old FLDs went to Mexico. With a 430/470 it was a Money- Maker . Often looked down on like the Internationals because so many got their start or just Drove them too much. Classic is an Fld just has different Hood

 

I posted a link to one for sale here awhile back. Project truck but in good shape.

 

I had a chance to buy this Marmon cabover cheap before the current owner bought it. Wish I did. Use to be dark green
