Just looked through all their Macks. That one in the back that i thought was a U i think is a DM that has been shortened and put a single axle rear in. It has the heavy front hubs and floaters. They have one listed as a U model but its a DM. They have alot of steel dash trucks.

You mean the blue one isn't a U model....?

Im the only one who found a U model in one of them pictures

This one has a U model in it!!!! Sweet!!!!!!

well, if anybody is interested in going to see it i'll save you the trip. I drove out there (652 miles round trip). The gentleman that owns it is a nice guy, but his truck needs a lot of lovin'. It's a B42P with a 9' frame that is fish plated and kinda scaley. 401 Magnadyne with a straight 5 speed tr77 trans with a two speed rear. runs great, i'll give it that. the block had a crack in it below the oil cooler about 7" long. the shell is all rotted on the bottom, drivers fender, passenger hood, back of the cab. drivers and pass floor board. and all around the windshield and the cowl all behind the air cleaner. It looks like it was hit hard at the bottom of the passenger A pillar and somebody took it and beat the cowl out very little and filled it full of bondo. Not to be mean to him, but I personally wouldn't pay anymore than scrap price for it. just my two cents.

That last white Mack in NJ is a U model by the looks of it....

Wow i like that. Good save Mike.

I have missed school for 2 days with a good ole case of strept throat.

Wow wouldnt even know its the same truck.

Its coming together looks good.

In celebration of their 50 years in business,Plote Excavating (or Plote Construction),Inc.,has put out a cool 2014 calendar. Seeing that PeterMack and I have posted many pictures of their trucks, thought I'd add some more off of that calendar. Enjoy!

Looks like a good project.

Oh boy i might have to get that later.

Awesome!

Mike:

Photos loaded okay. Is that second one (in the dark) a fire truck?

when we were looking at it at gerharts didn't they want 10k for it.

I sat in it while it was running.

Yeah ive seen it. Crawled all over it at Gerharts and I was in love. Just don't have the money. I need a job.

Looks great!

It says Shwab Bros. on the door if that helps.
