It's obviously 'Kiwi Night' on BLB - as I've just had this curio sent to me by Vic Hungerford in NZ. Vic says: "Hi Brian, maybe these will light your fire, then of course, maybe not as this truck has a Roadranger gearbox and it's not an auto! I know that Marmons have featured occasionally on BLB, but I think that they are rare enough to rate another photo or... 3." Darn tootin' Vic! So click through here for the fill story on the Texas tractor!

Vic continues: "As far as I know, there are only 4 of them in NZ and all of them are owned by John Lockley of Waihi. I see them on the road all the time but as they are always working I have never had a chance to get a photo until today. I had stopped at the Shell truckstop at Ngatea to refuel and this Marmon pulled up to refuel also so I took the chance to get a few photos with the driver's permission."

Vic concludes: "I also got the chance to sit in the cab and look over that huge bonnet which is about 7 feet off the ground! Cheers, Vic."
i have always found marmon trucks the most imposing out of all the yank's,these days there is something of a novelty factor linked to them also.recently a similar model to this one was for sale in croydon (uk) on ebay with a twin turbo cummins and 15 speed fuller.
