b61fred Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Would this truck been built with a v8 engine? Quote 15 gears...no waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure since its a U615 that it would of had a V8 out of the vactory.Somebody must have put a new motor in it cause it says its got a 237. I dont think ive seen a U model that early with a 237. Edited April 6, 2012 by umodelnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were made in a "vactory".I always wondered.Uncle Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 oops uncle Rob, I ment factory.See the stiff leg boom on the left? That was an attempt by the wrecker bed manufacturer to keep the truck on it's wheels. They were to automatically deploy via a early attempt at a roll over sensor to keep those lopsided things upright. They had skid pads for feet and would slide along the road surface until the threat relaxed, (usually a left turn would do it) and the truck could then maintain stability on it's own.Uncle Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

JumperAndSon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Were the U's made before the R models? I thought they didn't make R models until '67. Somebody please correct me.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That U sure isnt the 56th U built. Even if the title wasnt fudged and recontructed with the VIN , it would be the 56th U 615 model. Not the U model. Also the front would look exactly like the U model I have here.With your love for U's , id save up and start saving them.

Mike Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Something tells me this one will be going out of the country. Vinny, you may be having to save for a boat ride if your wanting to save this truck. Ya know......if you had an uncle that really cared about you.......he would save that truck for you.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yes uncle Rob, may you buy it for me and give it to me for Christmas? Ben, U's started in 65' and R's started in 66'. Please, dont let this truck have a ride on a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
