Ohhhhhhh sweet! It makes me wanna put the cab on my U. Your beating me Josh!

Awesome, looks good.

Part 4: The first picture is me waiting to be loaded, then a picture of the load, it was big. I was like Papa am I a little to over loaded with branches? He says nope, let me throw another stump on there. Then a picture of me on the road agian. Then a picture after I backed into the pit. I got a video uploadin now of me dumpin a load from inside the cab. Today I hauled 2 loads of tree parts, and two loads of sand. The old Ford did pretty good today. It quit again on me while I was loaded. Gets a slug of water once and awhile, and we put new fuel in it so all the rust in the tank got sturred up. The old Ford is cool, 1978 F350, 351 Winzer, 4 speed.

Part 3: The first picture is when I back down into Papas sand pit, to dump the stumps, and have Papa load me up with sand. USING JUST MIRRORS, yea SKILL. Then theres a picture of Papa loadin me up, then I see my doggy Duke, come down to the sand pit, and he always wants to ride in the dump, so I opened the passenger door, he puts his front paws up and I gotta lift him in. Hes pretty heavy. And then theres a picture of how he rides. Hes gotta be right on top of you so you cant shift, or steer very well. Then I dumped the load where the stumps were pulled, and took a picture of Papa spreadin it. Then I got the four wheeler and wagon to load wood.

Part 2: So here is a picture of me backing up to the trees so I can load the limbs. USING JUST MIRRORS.Yea, skill. Haha, Then theres a picture of the first stump of the day going on the ol' F350. Then, I hit the road!

Part 1: I walk over to start the dump truck, so I put the keys in the ignition, and turn it over. Didnt start. I waited a couple seconds turn it over. Nothin. Turned it over again, and I knew she was floded. So I waited a few minutes a tried buty she wouldnt start for me. So I had Papa come over and it took him awhile but she started for him. So then, as you see in the second picture, I gotta back all the way down there which is easy, then turn down the road on the right there to get to the place where the stumps are. So I put her in reverse, let the clutch out, back out there, put the clutch in, put it in first, before it even got in first, DEAD. She quit on me. So I turned it over, nothin. Turned her over again, put my foot on the floor, and she fired up! Yes! So in the third picture you see I made it to my first destination. And the fourth picture, there she is again. Then I helped Papa grease the backhoe, and that picture shows how the backhoe fired right up for Papa....Then I hear trees falling and Papas already pushin trees down! Next post will be part 2...

Youd have to sell it to me or Id steal it. LOL

Awesome, post pictures when you get it.

Well Im 12 years old, and just loved Macks all my life especially U models. I got my grandfather into Macks, haha, and now my Papa (grandfather) are restoring a U model. Do you have any pictures of them U models your father drove? Whod he drive for?

Thanks, but no. LOL

Offset-U-bet!!! Thats a great name!!! Do you have any U models, pictures etc?!

Cool!

Hahahahaha

I love this U model talk!!! Yes!!! Werent there only like one U626 made Mike?

Thanks all you guys!!!!!

Thanks JT.

I like the Brock.

A B42 has a gas engine, while the B61 has a diesel. B models with the model number ending in an odd number are diesel. B models with the model number ending in an even number have gas motors. For example B61-diesel B42-gas.

I got everything behind the tank painted too.

Alright, so this morning Papa drained the tank on the drivers side, trust me, it took more than them two cans. Then Papa got everything ready for paint, and I primed a few things for paint. Then while I screwed around duck taping broken stuff on the inside of the dump truck, Papa got all them things painted. Then a little while ago, Papa and I pulled the tank off. It wasnt too heavy. I ran dump truck all day yesterday, runnin stumps, and sand, while Papa just loaded me up with the backhoe. Be runnin dump tomarrow too, I'll have Papa take pictures of me maybe. I just hope the old dump starts tomarrow, you never know with that thing. I got one more picture to post.

Anytime. I like to share knowledge about Sidewinders.

Must be they cleaned it real good, I dont see no oil.

Yes, those are U700's. U700's had a taller nose and the cab sat up higher. Heres a picture that I found online and added to my archives. See the diference from a U600?
