steve s. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The company I work for is planning to scrap an ex Roadway Tractor. After some one asked about it in an earlier post, I got some more information. It is a 1979 U626ST. It came with a blown 6V92TT, which was repalced with a 300 plus. It has a ten speed and a single drive axle with a dead axle behind it, on a hendrickson walking beam. Guys that remember driving it say it ran and handlled very good. The truck has been used around the yard for a long time, and is set to be cut up for scrap. My boss told the junkman to put it to the side to see if anyone wants to save it. The cab is rough, but I am sure it will run and drive. It is near exit 211 off I-81 in northeast PA. Sorry, no pictures. I would guess that it could be bought for scrap price.
