umodelnut Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What the heck do you mean does anyone like U models?!? I love that yellow one, could be another to add to my future fleet. I don't think that green one is a U I think its a DM. I think the last picture was foucused on that girl in the daisy dukes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hey Tom, Find me one of those big ass 5th wheels in your travels.David - Do you need a hydraulic fifth wheel? I bought a brand new take off one along with a unused normal Holland fifth wheel from a local electric company that bought a couple of new tractors and made them into straight trucks. I sold the hydraulic one two weeks ago to the guy that buys my cat converters - wish I had known. I see them pretty often, I will file that away if you are looking for one.

JumperAndSon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Geee, I wonder who would like U models. I was just thinking, I would love to have a U model tractor and stretch the frame to about a 270" wheelbase. U models were originally designed to be short, so it'd be cool to have one thats ridiculusly long, just for something different. That yellow one would be a good canidate for that.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last picture was foucused on that girl in the daisy dukes....Might be a DM, I was afraid to open the door because it might have been booby trapped.And actually, I never even noticed the red r-model until I put the pictures on the computer. I took the picture of the billboard just in case someone was interested in going to bikefest. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The Roanoke shot is my favorite. Is that a Mack in the background?You and I seem to travel many of the same roads, but your probably sleeping like a normal person during the hours I come through.

A hard right at speed and the truck would prolly twist till ultimate fatique and structural failure set in. A hard left and it may eject you through the roof.

other dog Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yes, as seen on this other one with a much longer wheelbase, the frame appears to have been pieced and patched together many times.
