yarnall Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In an attempt to keep young Vinny entertained, I went to the local truck repair shop and took pictures of this U685T.The owner said he has to fill the bed higher on the right side so it doesn't tip over going around right turns.Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 So I really didn't talk to the owner. I looked for the serial number.No luck, but the frame rail was nice and clean. U685T8853And one of the inside.Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been sitting their for a while.A Diamond Reo that has also be sitting for a while.A 1972 Autocar DC9364. It was offered for sale quite a few years back, but no takers. It has rusted pretty severely since then.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 MiniDyne must be empty, she's leaning to her left.That's a wide variety of brands and body styles for a small collection. The GMC reminds me of the NYC Sanitation Dept fleet in the 1970's, they must have had hundreds of those in white with black spokes and refuse bodies. They would even attach plows in the winter.My favorite of theses is the Diamond Reo. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
