umodelnut Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well hope these pictures work. Probobly sideways because they are off my phone. I saw this truck, so we pulled into a parking lot behind the truck because the front was all blocked off, hopped out of the truck ran through a foot of snow with my logger boots, jumped over train tracks, ran through a buncha weeds and then to this old R model. I got quite a few pictures so heres a couple. I was looking the truck over and taking pictures while trying not to be seen. Im not putting a location, dont want to get in any trouble....: ) 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29227-old-r-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 dont have any Vinster. was 8-10 years ago. i remember the R700 had a Road Oiler in it tho and so did the GM's with straight pipes. must have been fun to use as yard trucks with a Detroit with straight pipes and no doors on the cab or windshields.

Motors trannys? Etc?I would imagine that the U models had all those things at one time. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29227-old-r-model/#findComment-155733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 The door was wide open when I went up to it. The serial tag was gone. I didn't look at the frame though. I was also going to climb up in the cab, but I was afraid I'd fall through the floor, with my luck. Might take a look at it sometime again next time I'm through there. Hope there isn't a stakeout there waiting for me... Thanks to Matt!!!

Maddog13407 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 a smart person would drive around to the other side of the trackas i think there is a crossin nearby, THEN you wouldnt have to trudge thru the snow or walk across them.... think those tracks are long defunk anyways but ya never know... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29227-old-r-model/#findComment-155797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Smart person huh? I did best that I could. And the train still uses that track once and awhile. My dad said it went through a couple days ago, and I could see a train had went through because the snow was flat in the middle of the tracks.
