BillyT Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ahh,the infamous "sidewinder"! Used to haul steel for a company that ran all r and u model macks.All "day cabs" got a few f model sleepers in 1974.What a hassle it was sleeping in a "day cab"you carried a pillow or furniture pad and put a"pop case between the seats,and laid across it,or laid over the wheel.we were allowed 8dollars for a motel! Most t.s. Had bunk houses or small sleeping rooms,but you couldn't always time you're break to end up at a t.s. The u model was a practical tk,if you were driving in the city or pulling a longer trl. Before deregulation. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43965-new-vehicle-in-the-garage-mack-u-model-1980/#findComment-338873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold111 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 How different the Mack looks now. I have got a glimpse of this truck once or twice in my childhood days.
