ws721 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Cumberland Farms Macks were a dark blue if I remember correctly. U's and DM's always interested me just because they are unique and under appreciated. Guys would say "its like a cabover I cant drive it" I would reply there are real truck drivers then there are just steering wheel holders. If you have to have a hood to aim by then you know where we stand. I did learn here that Mack made U's with other engine makes and V8's. That was intresting 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

TommyZ Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm trying to feel the same love as you guys on these U's...but man, I'm just not getting the vibe.I liked the DM 800's as far as an offset cab goes, but I never got the U fever. Probably cuz of the massive long hood on the 800's. Ahhh, to each his own I reckon.Another good reason possibly is every single U model I was associated with was such an old club to drive, that I never fell in love with them maybe. But again...it's just me. There's plenty in this forum that look quite nice to me now...I always thought the U model was the platform that Euclid based their quarry trucks on, LOL.
