Y'all are about two days late and $3,500 short of "You bought it!"

Vinny's already seen it!

I don't know Vinny very well yet but I bet he's got a better sniffer than you think he has when it comes to sniffing out one of these U models.

1968 U model Mack U611 truck for sale. Hasn't been driven in a couple of years but started right up when we checked the oil, added some water and hooked a couple of hot batteries to it. Still runs real good for a 44 year old truck but then again, it's a Mack.

Has a 225hp Thermodyne ENDT-673 Mack engine, 10-speed Roadranger transmission, single speed rear end and single rear axle. Front tires look almost brand new. Rear tires still have a lot of tread left on them too. Additional photographs available upon request.

Minor damage to hood and bumper on right front corner, two BB cracks in front windshield, driver's side door glass intact but riser not working. Cab cancer right side below air filter. Probably some other minor issues but then again it is an old truck.

Listing it as a 1968 model because that's what was on the last tag receipt the previous owner produced. Current owner remembered it being a 1967. Date of manufacture on fuel tanks are 2 67 and 1 69 C. VIN on door plate is U611 T 1375. If I'm wrong and anyone can tell me what year model it is from that number I'll change it.

Sorry for the bad photos. They were taken before we saved it from the repair shop where it had been left and forgotten.

Thanks for looking. Truck is located in Dolomite, AL which is just south of Birmingham near Hueytown. Asking price is $3500.00

Might get in trouble if I mention a price here. Soon as I verify the engine and transmission info I'll enter it in the classifieds.

It's being used as a yard dog right now moving trailers around but it's up for sale. It had been sitting since 2009 at this shop with an electrical problem with the lights. All we had to do was replace the two batteries that got stole while it was sitting there, put some water in the radiator, check the oil and it fired right up. Just like a Mack.

A fellow at Sparr Truck Parts in Florida sent an email asking for my phone number. Said he was interested in buying the U model but never called. Looked it up on the Mack production number list and saw only 886 trucks like this one were made from 1965-1980. Since it's an older truck I'd rather see it stay here in the states and go to a collector rather than get shipped overseas and lost in Nigeria.

Here you go, Vinny. Add this to your collection.

It would take a little while and a bit of diesel to get it from Alabama to New York. It's okay, I've got a fellow from Florida says he's interested in it. Serial number is 1375.

You seem to really be chomping at the bit to see some U model photos Vinny so I'll go ahead and post what I've got. I took these right before we saved it from being long lost and forgotten. It was left to be repaired at a shop that shut down a few years back and never got fixed. I contacted the owner and found out he had purchased it from my partner some twenty years ago. When my partner found out it was for sale he immediately sent me to get it back. It's a 1968 U611T model we're using as a yard truck right now but for the right price.......
