    I’m from Garland, Texas and remember the Marmon Truck factory and seeing those beautiful trucks. The old factory buildings are still here and are now occupied by several different businesses. Thanks for sharing this video.

    This is legitimately the cooolest, best engineered custom rv I've ever seen. I absolutely love it. I've been a fan of cabover tractors since I was a little kid, watching the old peterbuilts go by/ What a fantastic build.

    Looks like the suspension could use a lift in the back. Maybe like air bags or something and that might make it steer better a little better. I would think. it looks like the front ends about to come up off the ground. Otherwise what a beautiful build. I would love to have that thing.

    I’m so with this guy when it comes to the stacks. Through my 20-30’s I loved hitting the jakes going through a tunnel. Now 62 still love hitting the jakes though retired. I could never have 6-8 inch stacks right behind my shoulder blasting out exhaust 12-16 hour days and an 18 speed with a big 600 cat would be plenty loud enough……..Is that all air-ride?? Looks like it floats a lot. Great rolling down the road soaking up a lot of those potholes and things.

    This is awesome to see, I've owned a few Marmon trucks when I lived in Pennsylvania, don't know if Sholl Brothers on 611 up by Perkasie is still in business but they had a fleet of green hood units pulling dump trailers with them, these were tough trucks and hated to see them stop building these.
