j hancock Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I know the previous two owners but don't know who owns it now.It is still in MA but the cab is grey with the leading edge of the hood and fenders in black.Looks like the picture was taken at the Rutland Truck show when it was being held at Giddings Manufacturing in Pittsford, VT.

umodelnut Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just found my notes and this truck is a 1972 U685.You got a serial number? I dont think its a 72' cab because of the tan dash and the small air cleaner. The hood is from 72' I can tell because of the small MACK letters on the front.

Popular Post james j neiweem Posted May 5, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2012 When they first put the rotary's in Chicopee Mass., the U models would get on them going counter clockwise. Problem was with those offset cabsthey couldn't get off. Just kept going around in circles until they ran out of fuel. On the clockwise roraries they would always get off one exit early. And that my friends is why they came out with the R model. R for rotary. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24943-anybody-on-here-like-u-models/#findComment-117829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
