Ok I was going to snap a few shots of the Marmon but after I was stop in my tracks by this 79 KW 24.5 15 speed 4.33's in excellent condition after talking to the ol timer for about two hours he asked me if I wanted it he told me to take it for a spin and come back and tell him what did I think ....I was very impressed with the truck all the way around runs like a top my Marmon dreams suddenly died this dream was more affordable.:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot::bluesbros:bluesbros:bluesbros

The Marmon might have some cool factor but in the end that W900A will make you happier:toytruck

Bargain with him.....sleeper isn't original.

What kind if seat is on the drivers side? With Bostrom Leathers, theres not much room left is there?

Thats aftermarket or homemade upholstry....not original VIT.
