Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Very nice Barry, brings back memories driving a tandem to N.Y. city everyday for two years. Had a three hundered, 5 speed and no power steering. Hauling a 102 trailer you couldn't see behind unless you weaved side to side....FUN. I really like that dump body, Tim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2009-one-for-the-u-model-fans/#findComment-9656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Nice U Model Barry. It is nice to see some of the orphans here. I have a 1950 A-51T Mack with a END 510 Diesel engine parts are hard to come by so I am going to put a C-180 cummins in it when I get some time.I love the B Models but would like to see some pictures of some of the Orphans.Keep up the good work.

steve Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have a question for you guys,I am rebuilding a U-model it to has a 300-with a 5 speed,on the road it runs about 70 mph at 2300 to 2500 rpm if I remember right. that is with the pedal to the floor and the governor kicked in.Question: does it hurt the engine to hold it to floor ?reason I ask is on the dash it has a decal that says hi-low I am wondering if it had a 2nd stick at one time?( By the way that is one sweet truck) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2009-one-for-the-u-model-fans/#findComment-9689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
