  1. Ok so yes i have the history with my u-model. From what i know its a U685ST chassis from 1970 if u follow the numbers (4497), it has an endt676 maxidyne from 1978. The other number i have is (5364) it comes back to a 1971 U685T single axle. Truck 4497 was from New York for Boss Linco Lines and 5364 was out of pennsylvania and owned by Hubler Rentals Inc. The registration says 1972 for some reason thats what it was when i got it so i go by that. the previous owner told me it had a red cab and nose and he bobtailed the truck from mass to new york and i guess it was a real rough ride and it pretty much rattled the cab off the truck so he bought a new cab and nose and painted it to how it looks now. this truck is a powerhouse and it rides awful with no trailer.

    As for the R611 it was owned by Moskowitz Motoer Transport in Connecticut they went outta business and if we didnt buy the truck it was getting exported so we saved it. this truck is all original and has its factory E6-260 mack motor with an eaton 10 speed. i think that answers all the questions feel free to ask more.

    Wow, what a history. I really enjoyed reading it. Are you taking the U model to the Macungie PA show this year Eric?

  2. I've read my share of comments on Youtube and I'm well aware of how ignorant some can be when hiding behind a keyboard. I was simply offering some friendly advice in an age where verbal threats are not dismissed or ignored as they were years ago. You don't know who's reading or how they will respond.

    Youre right. People are just to pussy to say something to someones face so they do it behind the computer screen. Sorry for my language, I just couldnt think of another word. I dont like people who do that.

  3. Hi Eric!!! Im Vinny and im 12 years old and my grandpa (or Papa as I call him) bought me my own U model for Christmas last year. I have always loved U models. Let me say that I love your U model. When my Papa bought the Mack it was originally a tandem tractor like yours but we put a single axle rear in it. I have also been the one asking so many questions about your U model :rolleyes: I was wondering if you have any history on your U model and what is its serial number? I have a list of U model serial numbers ive seen and I would like to add yours to it. My U model was ordered new by Flexi Van Truck Rental in 1975 and was rented out to Kimberly Clark Bakery's. Also since you are from Mass. my U was last titled in Mass. so thats where I think the last company who owned it was from. I have no idea but there is a picture of what the door looks like and was wondering if you or your dad knew what company it might be. Thanks,,,,Vinny

  4. The blushing bride is calving having a C-section on June 6th so the boys and I had to cancel our hotel reservations to Macungie.

    But I have a plane ticket I have not used from another deal so I am trying to get permission to fly in for a day. What is the best day if I only get one?

    Would one of you zipperheads on here pick me up at the nearest airport? (sorry about the zipperhead comment - I watched Gran Torino again last night)

    That was a great movie. Asians. Doesnt Clint eastwood call that kid Toad because he is Asian?

  5. Not a good idea these days to post a threat on a public forum.

    You should look at things other people say. It is 100 times worse than what Cousin Ben said. Cousin Ben was actually kind of polite about it. Good job Cousin Ben!!!!!!
