IMO pop music from the 1980s was mediocre at best. However, compared to anything produced in the last 15-20 years it almost seems good by comparison. Think what you want of 80s music, specifically this band and song, but they included a killer Mack U model pulling a reefer van in their official music video. It is shown on and off for probably close to 30 seconds. It almost looks like a New England Motor Freight tractor with the NEMF removed from the door. The song and video was released in 1983 and made popular by being in The Karate Kid film. The music video was filmed in Brooklyn NYC. The twin towers and Empire State Building can be seen in the background several times. The U model is shown on and off many times between timestamp. 1:05 to 2:50.

Oh, I actually got one better. I can remember looking at the first one I ever saw. My dad‘s company bought their first one in 1968 prior to that they had all B models We drove down there to see the brand new truck. The company just got . I think I was only 12.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. At least one of them has gotta be partially standing up and as a grown-up, I cannot squeeze through the passenger side of mine very easily between the door and the smoke stack. It was a lot easier when I was a young teenager.
