h67st Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 What does he mean, "brakes top pedal"? Did he intend to put "brake stop pedal"? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29941-u-should-buy-this-vinnie/#findComment-164361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 What does he mean, "brakes top pedal"? Did he intend to put "brake stop pedal"?I took it as you don't have to push down too far to get brakes Now,"clutch top pedal" means a whole nother thing!

j hancock Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Don't see any markings but is that an ex- Nashua Motor Freight truck? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Green Dash Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In the first pic the front axle looks a bit narrow, like on a BCR.YEA I KNOW I SAW THAT LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST LOADED MY PANTS.

Offset-U-bet! Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't see any markings but is that an ex- Nashua Motor Freight truck? FYI: I noticed lately that I haven't seen Nashua Motor truck around lately. I went buy the terminal and there was only 3 cars there. It will be a very SAD day to see them fold. I hope not. They still ran mid 80's R models. All thier trucks! Not one newer one. Loved them for that!

j hancock Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I have been told that Nashua has folded which made me think this was one of their old rigs.

Offset-U-bet! Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I have been told that Nashua has folded which made me think this was one of their old rigs. They sold all the U's years ago but had R's to this day. But at last tis a sad day one of the greats (and oldest) have now fallen too! :-( Wish I had big money. I'd scoop up a few R's from them. They are in pristene shape! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29941-u-should-buy-this-vinnie/#findComment-165205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blais Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That is sad if Nashua has really folded. It always put a smile on my face to see one of their rigs going down the road. I still see a black single axle U model with a single axle trailer in the Medford/Everett area of Rt. 16 when I haul out of the produce market.

j hancock Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 After checking around, Nashua is turning themselves into a logistics business.So being a broker, they will probably get rid of some equipment but maybe not all?If anyone hears something, please post.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Offset-U-bet! Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ok so there is hope! Still would hate to see any of them R's go to export or scrap. They are in waaaayyy too good of shape. Just loved Nashua.M.E for keeping it old school all these years!
