umodelnut Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 That single axle u model dump is awesome!! Any info on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rover Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 The B is for sale, and it's in really nice shape. The headliner is still in it and looks like new. The cab is solid. I lifted the floor mat and the floor is in great shape. The u model was a line truck out of Atlanta and used for local P and D The owner added the dump body to use in keeping the yard graveled, and is in very good condition. My blue collar backround attracts me to working trucks like the U model, and as many of them as were around at one time, I wonder where they've all gone. I'd love to add one to my collection at some point. But honestly, once I saw the 55 H model, I didn't hear all the details of the other trucks. The experience of buying the other two made me focus on the more important details of this truck. The fuel tanks have no dents. There is only superficial surface rust, nearly unheard of on an H model.The fenders are straight and the truck doesn't appear to have ever been wrecked. It was a Georgia owner operator truck who had a mail contract. The motor is bad but the H67 in the other photo has a good 673. I will gather my thoughts and get information on what else is for sale. Both MH cabovers are E-9s, but the owner has a soft spot for the black one with the red stripes, they both run and drive.Priority now is where to hide the H till I can come up with a good reason why i need another one.....like that matters. But ,you all know where I'm coming from. And thanks for all the help in figuring out the photo downloading process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That u model is cool! It's hard to find them in good shape up here where I live. Do you know what year the u model is? I'm thinking it's a 75 to 77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbamobilin Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Are those Mr. Turpin's trucks? If so, he's a great guy. I met him in the fall at the ATHS truck show in Cherokee, NC and we talked for several hours. He had several trucks there including the R700. He did not bring the MH's but talk very fondly of them.

Red Rover Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 You are correct sir. These are Mr. Turpin's trucks,and he is a great guy. Spending a few hours at his place was like being on vacation. As for the year of the U model , I don't know, but I will ask and let you know. I too, really like this U.
