  1. I believe Roadway and Yellow`s U-700's were powered by 6V92T Detroits....
  2. In the late 1970's AR Gundry (then owned by Refiners Transport) and Gypsum Haulage, two Leaseway Transportation Companys shared the same terminal in Albany NY. Gypsum started out with used Whites from other terminals but eventually received at least 10 brand new R-700's with 290 Cummins and 9 speed Roadrangers. They were some beautiful tractors....average fleet power for back then.
  3. If you need to talk to someone about the Cummins, Dave Crump of Crump Diesel in the Albany NY area would be the one....

Was on light duty because of an injury in the mid eighties and did road work nightly for about a month between Albany and Avenal NJ, where they still had several B-67's in the yard.....should have pursued one......
  9. The 2004 Visions that ABF had (over 500 of them) all did the same thing, drivers called them the "shredders". Drivers carried spare belts with them so vendors could repair them along side the road. ABF got rid of most of them before their time was due, and they didn't buy Macks again until 2008.
  10. 6368, Call the guy you got the rears from, the front springs look the same.....
