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.

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. Now I have all this pent up wiseass-edness that would normally be inflicted upon my coworkers and it needs to be purged.
