Re: Marmon build
Right now the Marmon is a single 3/8" frame. This compares to my IHC 9670's which are all 1/4" single frame, and I have run those to 168,000 lbs.
It will remain a tractor.
It has the optional radius rods and is rubber bushed, it should do well on hiway, the radius rod restrict somewhat the axle movement that walking beams are famous for. If you were spending its entire life in the woods, you wouldn't want them, but on road they are a bonus.

Re: Marmon build
I will have an inner liner where the outer frame is spliced.
I'll keep the extra frame material .

I always thought it was interesting to look in the mirror and look at the front outside dual while going around a corner in a dump truck.
