Vladislav Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Jim, where did you spotted it? The truck at the left (to the right to the U) is a nice looking R I saw a picture of once. But I don't remember showing it out in anybody's reports along the East coast.

Phase 1 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It seems to sit fairly low, is it a U-400? There are few of those. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50353-1966-mack-u-model/#findComment-373988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 The U-400 platform had a couple of options. U-401 END-475 Scania diesel U-403 END-465 Thermodyne diesel U-410 EN-414 Chrysler 413 V8 gasoline U-487 ENDT-475 Scania turbo diesel U-492 CAT 3208 diesel The engines listed above were not available in the U-600 platform. I have only seen two U-400 models of the 316 units built and the frame dimensions and spring packages appeared to be the same as the U-600. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

I like the rare or ugly or the "step child" pieces of equipment that most folks just overlook. 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Maddog13407 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 pretty sure the B47's also had the end465 thermodyne in in them. seen one at auction about ten years ago with a baby quad 77 series behind it and dual 55 gallon round fuel tanks. kick myself til this day for not buyin it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50353-1966-mack-u-model/#findComment-374059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The Chrysler 413 was used in a series of B model fire trucks that was built for the U.S. government. I wonder if the U-400's with the 413's were also built for the government, possibly as tankers for the Air Force FD's.

Besides the B-47 (437 units), the END 465 was put in B-13 (124), B-23 (131), B-33 (437) also. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

The two 400's that I have seen were single axle tractors with Scania power. The Air Force did have quite a few refueling tankers on a DM-492 chassis with the 3208 CAT engine and automatic trans.
