Mike Blais Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 West of the city, maybe between Exits 44 & 48? on the south side of the road. Oddly enough there is a Harbison Ave. in the vicinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Vinny If you want to see some pictures of U-models still working go to hank's truck pictures and look up David Fraust pictures.Then look up NEMF New England Motor Freight. They still have several U models and R models still in operation. I just saw a twin screw R model in Ct about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blais Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nashua Motor Express still has at least one in use. Hope to get a shot of it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 There's a big black dot on the windshield and the bulldog looks like a squirrel. Those features would put the year from around '67 or '68-'72 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
