umodelnut Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Looks like a DM. Pretty cool taking a picture of an old Mack out of an old Mack! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Looks like a DM. Pretty cool taking a picture of an old Mack out of an old Mack!I believe it actually had the "straight" frame of a U, not the "deep" frame of the DM. But, I did not stop and get up close and personal. If I can, I'll try to get a little closer to it later on. Maybe get a couple of more pics.I thought you'd appreciate the view from one old truck to another! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

umodelnut Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah it could be a U. And yeah i thought the picture was neat from an R model point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry it wasn't better. Trying to take a pic without looking! Speed is low there, at least.Didn't get to stop in this evening for a closer look. Had an outside rear flatter'n a flitter when I left work. Had to swap one out. This one ain't on as pretty a wheel as the one I took off, though. Kinda' dirty-looking. Crap! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Here are some more pics. Definitely looks like a U...Looks like a fairly serious front axle setup. Always liked the double-splined rear axles. Did not look under it to see if it was double-framed, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

umodelnut Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You sure thats not a DM? I zoomed in and i think it looks like a fish belly. Then those axles front and rear are heavy for a U. Also has a DM fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I just zoomed in on the picture, and i believe you are correct. The frame appears to deepen just behind the battery boxes. Young eyes, huh?I'll try to get a closer look at it later today. that would explain the front axle... Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yep. Widens out just behind the batteries. Sorry,Vinny. I must be gettin' old. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
