Retro Racer Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 '65??? Were U models built back then? Plus I spotted a second gear stick so I'm guessing more than 5 gears too?.?

41chevy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's a nine wheeler ...thats the added valueLooking at the short stack probably converted to a tractor from a dump. Still one of the earliest I've seen.

james j neiweem Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 When I was going to a new school location in the Navy in 1964 I remember seeing my first U-model on the New York thruway.I think the R's came out in 1965. I am not sure why the U's came out first but I think someone on this sight stated that they were eager to replace the C-Model I think the cheapest you will see a running U is about3500. Not only do single axle U's see a second life as a dump, but some of them end up as oversize pickups with stake bodies.

Not only do single axle U's see a second life as a dump, but some of them end up as oversize pickups with stake bodies.U models came out in 1964. R's came out in 1965 so your correct on that. I dont know if Mack was eager to replace the C model but the U really replaced the C's. I thought the lowest price ive seen foe a U is like $2500, I think thats the average lowest price. Before we got mine Papa almost bought a pristine no rust late 70's U single axle tractor in Rhode Island. It was green and he onl wanted $1500!!!
