polracer01 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I can't believe I missed the show forgot all about it. How was it did they have a good turn out?

DailyDiesel Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Pretty good considering the weather was bi-polar most of the morning. Around 30 big trucks, bunch of smaller pickups such, probably 130 vehicles total. All in all, a great local show. 1 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/22/#findComment-339341 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DailyDiesel Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Door tag read U. As of two weeks ago it was still in Adams, they had another auction and this truck was supposed to be in it. I didn't hang around but I doubt it was sold, they pushed this truck into the furthest corner of the property.

j hancock Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Probably made up from parts and pieces. Those are really heavy spokes for a U model. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maybe the units you saw were bought used or part of an acquisition?

BillyT Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Looks like a hand fabricated wrecker setup,good job though! Love the B73! Only truck I don't like is the midliner abortion,probably with the backasswords Renault Shifter.Had the thrill of delivering one a couple hundred miles to the Ryder shop in Pittsburgh.Don't believe they've earned the right to have the Mack name!

Definitly a DM frame, must be a pretty early engine or whole running gear, has the old belt driven power steering pump. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/22/#findComment-343361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 something with the U doesn't jive. those are B model style hub caps. around 1960 they came out with the flat style 6 and 8 hole front hub caps. looks like a front axle swap to me or maybe a UCR???

umodelnut Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Id be curious to see what the number on the frame says. Maybe a very early DM like 65-66.

DailyDiesel Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Geez, I had no idea I was looking at such a Frankenstein rig or I would have paid closer attention. Sadly, I think we may never know the answer.

umodelnut Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hoods probably newer too has the newer bigger Mack letters. I think its real old running gear like the beginnings of the DM and recabbed and re hooded Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/22/#findComment-343456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ok, so we all agree that that U is not a U and maybe not even a DM....but what do we make of this setup? 1 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/22/#findComment-343664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Some one did a really nice job either fitting the radiator unit or replacing the WARD 79 steel nose.

41chevy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 They seem to be municipal / state Highway Dept. specs with the big radiator. Town of Leyden on the N.Y. License Plate Tag.
