doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 864 is shorter than the 673...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah U model BBC was 90 inches I think. And yes almost no room on the passenger side because of the dog house. And for you guys who haven't seen me, Im like 6'0-6'1 maybe, and me in the passenger seat. Fun....and the standard R-model way back then was 103" BBC, if you trust the Mack brochures...

Maddog13407 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 the 864 is shorter, but wider so didn't they move the cab to the side to get more room for the driver in the U model?

1958 F.W.D. Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I thought be could post all the U models in one place like the Superliners. I could not find another thread. Here is my submission. It was an tractor for Swan Oil before it was donated to Gilbertsville Fire Company PA. It was in beautiful condition when it was sold to the local dirt track(Grandview) to water the track. Gilbertsville also has another tractor trailer tanker and a straight truck tanker on a U chassis. I should have bought the other tanker to preserve it. I don't know where they ended up. image.jpgimage.jpg And yes,Vinny, did get the serial number. Mike. image.jpgWow I remember going to the housing parade for either this or the R-Model Tanker and their new (at the time) CF Mack with a Pierce Body......Which I understand to be the first Pierce body mounted onto a CF.....I think I have a ceramic mug somewhere from the parade.

TozziWelding Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It is pretty solid for a truck that ran in New England and pushed snow all of its life. They took care of there trucks, and store them indoors. I will get you some more pix when I get back over to Dale's house. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36376-the-u-model-thread-or-porn-for-vinny/page/2/#findComment-254309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 U came about for one reason-give Mack a 90" BBC to compete with 9000 Whites, 358/359 Brockways and later big time fleet competition in 1970 from the LN Louisville. Moving cab to side was good alternative to raising cab up in the air. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36376-the-u-model-thread-or-porn-for-vinny/page/2/#findComment-254791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
