Joe Ditchkus Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I bought some U-Model spec sheets lately. U 615T V-8 864,U -615St, U 615LSt all 864 powered. The one I did not realize was ever built was a U 640St powered by a EN 540A Gas engine. It had duplex and triplex trans. avaible. Did anyone ever see a gas powered U-Model/ I saw R-Models with gas.

57 bcr Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 That 1 was probably re-powered with a 673 and spent a productive life hauling freight! 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

farmer52 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 They should have run a Chrysler Slant 6 as an offset for the cab.Might have sold more that way.IFRC, the engine "slanted" to the right. That would counterbalance the U cab. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37419-umodel-gaspot-powered/#findComment-263770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I do not know about 318 Chrysler gas engines in R-models but I know they put either 413 or 426 Chrysler's in R-Models. Not the Hemi 426 though. Joe D. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37419-umodel-gaspot-powered/#findComment-263782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 the 413 was the factory option for a R410. don't think they ever put a small block dodge in from the factory.
