D50 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Earlier this week I visited Petersen Brothers out in Sumner, Washington and took pictures of some of the trucks in their fleet. I forgot to ask them what model this is. Could you please tell me what model this is and provide some history on the model? Thanks in advance.- Aaron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10559-what-model-is-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dockmen027 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 That may have been an ex-Roadway U-model with an 6V92 Detroit from the seventies and eighties, as shown in the link below. The headlights are somebody elses creation.http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/forum01/index.php?topic=33623.0 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10559-what-model-is-this/#findComment-40002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed the truck was that old. The modified headlights threw me off.What were the other common U model numbers?
