Rob Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 sure that is a U model?Nope and the photo is not clear enough to ascertain but the advertisement states it.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rhasler Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The video isn't much better. What's more, it looks like the trunnion stand has a brass bushed spindle but the trunnion housing looks to be the two piece rubber type. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

What's more, it looks like the trunnion stand has a brass bushed spindle but the trunnion housing looks to be the two piece rubber type.I didn't watch a video but the cab mounting is too far to the right, (as in convenional R model) to be a "U" series. This is judging by the photo taken from the video posted.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Nope, that is an R model for certain. The mismatched tires, and "Dupont overhaul" make it special. The truck appears to have had a dump body on it at one time looking at the pivot points at the rear.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

vision386 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Holy SH*T! if those are the "good" tires,i wonder what the bad ones look like? i have allways wondered why people think if a truck that says Mack on it,is automatically worth its weight in gold,regardless of condition,or having been beat do death,and not properly cared for. I do understand top asking price for a top shape truck,but this kind of BS is just ridiculous! and P.S. 20 cans of semi-gloss "krylon" does not count as new paint!..........................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Freightrain Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 A "U" model has the step built into the rocker panel, visible below the door(which this truck does not have).

other dog Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 This truck used to be an R-model, but ever since it stalled on the tracks and that slow moving train hit it and knocked the cab cranksided it's been a U-model.
