umodelnut Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 You know how when a company is gonna design a new vehicle, the engineers sketch it to what they want it to look like but after the vehicle is all done it looks a little different? Well I was wondering if anybody knew about or had any of them from the factory for U models. Im talking about like a consept drawing. I would love to send the Mack Museum an email but ive sent them 2 emails with the same questions and they didnt answer. Please help,,,Vinny Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25086-mack-factory-u-model-consept-sketchings-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager he'd be happy and proud to do it. I just hope he doesn't get a pain in the neck from looking at all the drawings leaning his head to the left.Uncle Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

My mom came over to the shop with a Mack envelope in her hand and gave it to my dad and I to open. I was really excited to see what it said so I tore it open and looked at it. Then I just busted out laughing. Then about 3 weeks later, I got a call from Don and then I got all the stuff in the mail.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25086-mack-factory-u-model-consept-sketchings-help/#findComment-119710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Theres alot of things that I want to say right now, but I wont because im a nice kid. If BigMackTrucks.com still had the dislike button with the like button, I wouldve disliked that. Its ok when you guys joke and say U models are lopsided and flip over and stuff, but Brian, you crossed the line. For one you offended me by calling me gay, and two since you said that you made me mad about U models. You just called me and my Papa gay!!! WTF? My Papa is the best guy ever and I flip out when somebody says anything bad about them. Just ask this kid in school Austin. This crossed the line,, Ive had it. I dont care if your joking either. Keep it to your self.P.S. You also just called pretty much all my buddys on here gay, so what are you? Thats just cold.That is NOT my interpretation and you are too thin skinned for this crowd if you are, or were offended. Nobody called anybody a fucking faggot or anything of the like least of all your grandfather who gave you the very reason to participate with this group. We found a niche that bothers you and we play on it. That is part of participation on this site. There is help, there is harrassment, and there is friendship/comraderie. If you cannot, or don't want to handle the ridicule, go over to the ATHS site and assume their "holier than thou" attitude of website management. It is not welcome here but the choice is yours to make.I think you owe the group an apology.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
