Damn!!! that's a good price-especially if it runs

[Superdog]

not ex -UPS, they were all single axle non - sleeper,with budds

[Bigdogtrucker]

I doubt it,they were s/a daycab's.My uncle drove them back in the "80's,said they were straight 5 speed's with an air clutch???

Has to many frills for UPS. Bullet cab lights, MACK on the grill, Sleeper, tandem and a 9 spd. Not bad money for the old girl

[Green Dash]

Was it the single headlights that had you thinking UPS? I believe those were available, if not standard, on all MH's.

[ws721]

If im not mistaken, Which I have been known to be wrong before, the ex told me that. 83 MH's came with single round headlights. After that you could order them but 4 square was the norm. Also, as far as I know 83 was only a half year for the MH. If someone knows otherwise please let me know

[Superdog]

The '83 I sold Jake had single rounds.

[countryboy5487]

OK ya I was under the impression that round headlights was a ups thing not standard/optional equipment

[Vladislav]

It has under the frame exhaust and probably the shortest wheelbase for a tandem tracktor.

The same as at my one.

DynaMax clutch, was controlled with a treadle valve!

Can't remember for sure if they were MH's or not but UPS did have twin screws.

Can't say I saw one on the road but I was waiting for one of our trucks to get off the PA Turnpike one night at exit 27, Willow Grove.

While waiting I saw a bunch of UPS trucks come through the toll booth, they had a big hub up there probably still do.

To my surprise there were quite a few twin screws which is something I had never saw before.

After that I used to kind of keep a special look out for them when I'd be on the road, never saw another one again!

And no I wasn't hallucinating, after mentioning it one of our drivers said that he had seen them once in awhile too!

Learn something everyday. On 287 couple weeks ago I did see a UPS KW. That was a shock

They have many makes these days,not like it used to be with mostly Macks!Too bad...

[Maddog13407]

one clip in Convoy when they show the inside of the truck I think it has one of those air clutchs. it def has two treadle valves in it. oddball.

Couldn't be an ex ups tractor unless it slipped by the crusher.......they won't sell any thing just have someone crush them......bobby j.

Round single headlights were standard on the early MHs. The quad lamps were an option. Most UPS MHs were day cabs.

Where is Rifleman when you need him?

[BC Mack]

sorry, but I'm a bit confused..

are we discussing nice headlights.. or just limited to MH's

well, here's both as previously posted by a BMT'er

I bet in 2014 both sets need to be readjusted

There are a few twin screw KW T660's running the PA Tpke every night. They are pulling from a rail yard, possibly Harrisburg.

[ws721]

Can I order that black & red MH and get the girl? If yes then im on my way to the dealership with a deposit!! Even if it doesn't come with the girl!!!

[BC Mack]

ws721.... a very pretty 1984'ish poster girl, but nowadays she insists you call her "Grannie" ....

no wrinkles on a MH cab..!!!
