burnstransport Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Was that a rope tieing off the steering wheel? I've been told that's how the pioneers "towed" them on the back of a wrecker once upon a time. . . . .Looks like it might have been given it's last ride to this resting place.

Maddog13407 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 yup, definately had the rope tied too to the steering wheel and probable out the windows to the mirror brackets, thats how everyone use to tow them years ago. looks like a late 60's. has the b model style 505 front axle. probably had a 673 and its spent thats why its sittin there. actually looks like a nice project with a little pressure washer work and probably a new bullett and maybe a fuel tank strap, or ratche strap. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26920-u609-for-vinny/#findComment-134544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 yup, front axle is correct, i was just sayin its old cause it has the B model style front axle. think they did away with that around 1970 or so. your right a 609 would have a 711 in it and most likely a 9 speed overgrear. my R609 had a 711 and 10 speed in it originally. on a side note what ever happened to our thread about the oldest B R U L where we all put in out Vin numbers. not that any of us poor bastard probably bought much lately but i think we need that refreshed every once in a while.

JumperAndSon Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Did y'all notice that the rope was out the passenger side window? That is a rare factory anti tip device to be deployed in the event of an emergency.J/k Vinny , I have a pic of a U for you as well, but no vin number as I was interrogated for taking the pic and it was raining, ect.
