other dog Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I think this is a U-model.These are not U models. Neat looking Cannonball wrecker though. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Did you get a cereal number for the Vinster? Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The U appears to be pretty clean, from here at least. Looks like an ex-freighthauler with that cut off bumper.The B on the other hand looks like a big time, long haul, over the road, cross-country, coast to coast type tractor.

vision386 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Nice! i like the B-model! McLean Trucking had a Cannonball wrecker like that,it was converted from a road tractor when they changed over to Crackerboxes,maybe the same one?.....................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

other dog Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Didn't get any cereal numbers, I was looking at truck pictures on facebook. All it said was "Marion,Va." That's down near Bristol. Had a couple of decent looking B models with the integral sleeper too. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

NoClueJoe66 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think what i was getting at was if anyone goes to Marion to look at any of those trucks, to let me know.

Im always up to meeting fellow BMT membersI think that's what you were getting at also. I'm supposed to be at work right now but Mutha Naycha had other plans.
