umodelnut Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hey guys, I was just wondering what my U685ST would have been new. I know we wont get exsact on it because of the options it was ordered with, but maybe a estimate. It was the year 1975. Thanks guys,,,Vinny Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26536-how-much-would-my-u685st-have-been-new/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I remember my Dad's boss complaining that a bare bones, single axle R model cost $31,000 new. That would have been around 1972. I know it's not your year or model, but it's a place to start.

JTFormula Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wow that's a lot more then I was expecting considering a Corvette cost around $9,000 in 75 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mack www.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26536-how-much-would-my-u685st-have-been-new/#findComment-131358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible my Dad was asking for a raise and the price was the result of "spontaneous inflation".

Red Horse Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Old guy here- I remember I bought a bunch of 1972 LN-9000 Ford tractors. 12/23, 6-71, RT-910, custom cabs, no a/c and cast wheels-typical fleet trucks-around $16,000! I think we were buying Maxidyne tandem tractors in those days for high thirties-again-no frills, 12/38's no a/c etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26536-how-much-would-my-u685st-have-been-new/#findComment-131394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Then again now that I am thinking about it, the rate of inflation with the cost of a new truck, I think the ratio is about the same. Well, except some Corvettes are $50-80k now.
