umodelnut Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Wow you found them Ron! I remember you telling me you had old pictures of the U611 at Gerharts. I always remember the story of replacement of the botton of the cab. I noticed the difference right off the bat! You wouldnt happen to know where this truck ended up would you? Thanks for posting the pictures up. Vinny Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35474-look-what-i-found-vinny/#findComment-242696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's a shame it went to a scrap yard in that condition.Judging by the stickers, it was registered to run most of the original 13 colonies way back when. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35474-look-what-i-found-vinny/#findComment-242795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 39 Baby Mack Posted April 20, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 Oh boy, that dont sound like a good fateThat's a shame it went to a scrap yard in that condition.Judging by the stickers, it was registered to run most of the original 13 colonies way back when.I don't what became of it, just because it went there doesn't necessarily mean it was cut up.To our surprise one of our horse trailers that went there, a 1950 Gramm, was actually purchased by someone wanting to restore and use it!I'd like to think #245 met with the same fate, next time I'm over that way I'll have to stop by and ask what did happen to it.Heck one of our old H-67's that went over there ended up in Ohio!Ron 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35474-look-what-i-found-vinny/#findComment-242799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
