GearheadGrrrl Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 First UPS conventional I saw was an IH short BBC conventional in '92, had no air deflector and reputedly an L10 Cummins. UPS called them "rapid response tractors" and planned to use them as short haul rigs for extra pickups, etc.. I haven't seem them around in years. There were also a bunch of Ford LN9000s with the midsized Cat engine bought around then too, the engines gave trouble and I haven't seen them around in years. Drove one of the UPS Road Commodes once, had a 60 series Detroit with a 5 speed tranny. There may still be a few 9670 IHs around, up until recently the St.Cloud, MN center had one.

Phase 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I looked in a package car once and a data plate said "Duplex". That was about 1990.

farmer52 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The MH front bumper protrudes more than the standard bumper. Wonder if it was a "platform" rather than "pull down" steps?Also the MH looks like it has a bulldog but none of the trucks show MACK.

james j neiweem Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 From a Mack tour guide the Macks that didn't have hood dogs did actually have hood dogs. When delivered new they were in the passengers seat in a plastic bag.

Brocky Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It would depend on the year of purchase if they were Diamond T's, REO's, or Diamond REO's as the name Diamond REO was created on May 1, 1967. I can remember some of them running between Indiamapolis and Columbus Ohio.Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27889-did-ups-ever-run-r-models/page/2/#findComment-142715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hmm where to even start, well if she delivered a package here I would probably try to get her to do things I would get into trouble for saying here so well skip that. I have seen the F,MH, and CH Macks but never an R, there have been several Internationals and Sterlings around here and in the Cab over days they had just about everything. I have looked the cut up CH trucks over several times, most dont even have a Mack steering wheel emblem they are just generic horn buttons. I know that they ran the same mirrors on all their trucks for years no matter the brand they were the small square convex and slightly larger rectangle flat mirror, brown of course along with the brackets. I wish they would sell them but they are pretty far into their routine to change now, just think of all those F and MH models scrapped, makes me sad.

convoyduel Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 There have been a number of UPS owned trucks that made it out alive. A Diamond Reo worked around St. Louis for years painted red. There was an MH for sale on Craigslist maybe a year ago. One of the UPS Peterbilt 282's has been on eBay in California for the past several months. It's now been painted black and has aluminum wheels, but its 100% UPS. Doesn't come with a title and the guy wanted about $6K for it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27889-did-ups-ever-run-r-models/page/2/#findComment-142793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Covert Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The first run of Mack ch's did not have the bulldog. They all started with the number 240...

Green Dash Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Here's an interesting tidbit I read some years ago regarding IH cabovers.
