Impressive! These old trucks were the best! Maybe not sensors and computers, but old fashioned mechanical and really fun to drive. Really enjoy your shoots and drawings, so keep up the great work and hope you continue doing so into the distant future.
I used to work for agency that used these Marmons. We trained on them to get our CDLs. They are very reliable trucks. Each one was specifically designed for what we hauling.
Everyone needs a truck with armor, bullet proof glass, and an escape hatch. I can understand why the government bought a Marmon. Marmon was not a big assembly line, mass production manufacturer. Marmon was more of a hand built manufacturer, so it was probably easier for them to build a one-off, armored COE than for one of the big makers to build one.
I remember 2 MARMON conventionals running together, bobtail south of hwy 54 on I25 in nm. Weird looking, then realized they were armoured up...25yrs ago...
The more I watch , the more I wish I had it. Not sure about the allison , like a 15 with the big hole to the dash. So cool. USA took over some operations with speced Trucks and Trailers. Always unmarked 4 wheelers front and back. Ran into one getting fuel , always one armed man inside all times . One done the other could go in. Got a glance of 2 shotgun mounts and 2 .45 righ beside on each side of those. Jokingly tried small talk , he would just say never know whats secured inside or exactly where going till close. Asked about the the fire arms he just stared ahead and said what weapons , ok I got ya , have a great trip. The Conventional is awesome as well.
I remember seeing these, while, on the road years ago, they would have a lead vehicle and a chase vehicle with government Officials in the chase and lead vehicles a lot of times
I have to feel bad for anybody bidding on a truck against the Tackaberry’s……if they want it, they get it. George, Charlie and the rest sure do fix them up nice though and they’re about the only muiti-millionaires I know who are so dedicated to preserving trucking history.
Wow , show stopper right there. Beautiful.

This is what I learned to drive back in 85 it was the Rolls-Royce of cabovers
Beautiful MARMON 💯❤️🔥
This machine doesn’t just work-it dominates. It transforms heavy lifting into an effortless display of pure power.

Nice ride
Cool ride.....putting mud flaps on front bumper certainly interesting
I saw when you met Steve from FSC Trucking at MATS 2023, your husband had a Marmon belt buckle. 👍
It's been awhile since I've seen Sanders on truck, not very common in Florida 😊
that cab over is Phat, got a couple of Marmon's here in Australia, but never seen the cab over model. 👍

Nice.truck😊
Wait for the video in the morning!
When was the last time you saw self sanding buckets on a rig ? ..lol a nice rig all in all
Pretty frequently - I go to shows in Wisconsin ;)
Up here in BC cda.So they used to run them but they would get wet and the sand freezes@@MissFlatbedRed
Badass
Sweet ride but are you kidding me !
Those Marmon cabover semis look similar to the Freightliner ones except those Marmons are more boxy.
Old Skool Kool! The military that initially had this unit, U.S. or Canadian? I assume she was referring to the U.S.
US. But it’s in Canada now.
awsome truck just wondering whats the second tank behind the fuel tank for ? hydro ? and the second shifter for ?
That’s the sander I mentioned. The second stick is for an engine retarder.

Are you related to Jacks Chrome shop ?
----------------------- if the cab was any wider ......you'd need walkie-talkies to communicate w/the passenger.....thanks4sharing
