1980 Mack U685T on CL


Recommended Posts

I thought I would start a new thread on this item.

The CL ad is deleted but the unit is still for sale. The guy who is the contact got pissed at the owner (his wife's uncle). He said he would still send pics (not holding my breath). This is getting interesting and frustrating. Stay tuned.

This is one of those situations where it is disappointing to have things posted. I heard about this truck independent of BMT, but now there are a bunch of people interested in it. It is only 20 minutes from my house. I'd be a jerk if I bought it though. Mike

MIke,

I agree (about the posting) but I do not have a problem with you buying it. You knew about it first so go for it. It will go to a good home. Will not break my heart....just let me drive it at least once.

Received specs from Museum...

27 trucks on this GSO, EMZ675 engine, 237hp?, 1076 transmission, 4.00 ratio, 188" wb, originally white cab/hood, 10.00-20 tires, Red Dot a/c between seats, personalized steering wheel "FLEXI-VAN TRUCK RENTAL", and dual 100gal fuel tanks.

I'll take a look at it and take a bunch of pictures. I'll post them here. I have this crazy itch to buy another truck and I don't have a U model. I don't neccessarily need one, but why not. I've been by this place many times. Back in 1990 I tried buy buy an A50 moving truck that sat in the lot next to this place. The guy wanted $500 for it which I did not have. When I balked at the price the guy responded, "I'm not going to give it away." It disappeared a few months later. I wish I had bought it. I'll have to scan the picture. Mike

My father and I went to see this U model yesterday. We didn't take batteries because it was so cold. The truck has quite a bit of rust. My father refered to the trailer as "sway-back".

This is one of those places where they never got rid of anything. Unfortunately none of the stuff was kept inside and much of it was used to plow snow so pretty rough shape. The U model is the only Mack. Mike. attachicon.gifimage.jpgattachicon.gifimage.jpgattachicon.gifimage.jpgattachicon.gifimage.jpgattachicon.gifimage.jpg

Everything is for sale. I'm thinking of putting an offer on it but probably shouldn't. I bought an IH R195 and put offers on a few other things. Here is the R195
