Jeff M Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 This I'm told is a '66 U model, asking price $4500. I was also told it has a 237 in it, but the pics show otherwise. It's only a mile or so from my house, so I can find out more if needed. The contact phone number is 207-655-6043. It's located in Raymond, ME. http://s37.photobucket.com/user/teebud/library/U%20Model%20Mack 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41657-u-model-dump-for-sale/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original truck from what I was told, believe the dump body was later added though. Only other one I ever saw with a Mack 5 speed had a 3 speed aux. and I know was ordered that way.

Jeff M Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 It does have two sticks, but I couldn't find a shift diagram anywhere. Proprietor of the shop where it's for sale claims the mileage is original, but I have my doubts. I think it's unusual to see 24.5" rubber on a small, early U. Looks like the tach, and a couple of other smaller gauges have been swapped out. Speedo could have come from some other "period correct" Mack, explaining the low mileage. Nonetheless, I slow down every time I drive by. I once drove an early R with a 673 and straight five speed. The only difference was that the gap between 4th and 5th was about half what it was with a 675, if that makes any sense. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41657-u-model-dump-for-sale/#findComment-303024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 22" rubber wouldn't be unusual IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41657-u-model-dump-for-sale/#findComment-303025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Spokes for 20" would be more typical. 22" was certainly an option for the buyer to easily check off on the dealer order form. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
