57 bcr Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Today I got what I think is the only U-model left around here and it is still working. A farmer near me uses this and a western R with a pup trailer. It is usually only out in the spring and the fall. Vinny's goin' to want it! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post RSD501 Posted October 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2013 Since RBs had come up earlier in the thread, I caught a couple of them over the last few weeks. the red truck coming head on is a CLK truck, that is an old lodesky truck. It has a really light empty weight. I think it is around 22,000. The one for sale is a 96, and looks like a lodesky truck but I don't know if it is. I just did this from my phone, and it wasn't very easy. So, please go easy if the post is all mangled up. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/41/#findComment-212136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Here are two more Peter Baker trucks. No. 50 parks out west, not sure of the year on it but it has a steel dash and seems to be out working every day.Sweet seeing a steel dash working. Just seeing an R model in general is bad a$$. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/41/#findComment-212342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
