Olivetroad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Vinny - First you make fun of the Frankenstein B model I bought, now you are making fun of my little Jay-Pan truck. I am going to go sit in a corner and cry.Just kidding - all the other kids making fun of me is what made me strongStrong smelling that is.

Olivetroad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I can't say - it is going to be a surprise - That would be neat to know what happened to a lot of the first experimental models...............

umodelnut Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) from information ive gathered and things i realized that im pretty sure this is the first U model broucher. so im thinking this is the first U model. i also have proof its one of the first u models because they didnt make many u models with the mack badge on the hood instead of the letters. ive also been looking for one of them mack badges like the one on this u models hood...maybe looking to purchase one and believe me ive spent days researching my u model in the build sheets and researching other u models and other macks. ive spent days in my room, only going out of my room to go eat or go to the bathroom.actually use this link. go to the bottom of the page and there is some brouchers. go to the one that says U series.http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=329&PHPSESSID=12b9c0d07dd9c9be3b188c13b77aa05a Edited March 14, 2012 by umodelnut Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23825-the-first-u-model/#findComment-107131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 now vinny you SAY youve been in your room for days researchin U models, the rest of us know the real story of what a 12 yr old does for days in their room j.k haha. i always liked the badge style emblem on that U and some early R models. believe they were used mostly on the off highway trucks. i think Superdog/Mike mentioned a while back he had one.

I can see why they didn't use them long,THEY WEIGHED A TON!!! Probably pulled that chunk of fiberglass they were mounted on, right out of the hood!!!

james j neiweem Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Vinny did you check out that u-700 brochure. Cool. Roadway had a ton of those with v-8 detroits. St Johnsbury had a ton of u-600 with cummins v-903's which was funny. The v-8's usually required the higher u-700 cab. If I remember the V-903's were 90 degreev-8's which gave them a lower profile. The detroit and mack v-8's must have had a higher profile. I think the detroits wer about 60 degrees. The mack 865/866 must have been less than 90 degrees thus the higher profile u-700 was required.
