[QUOTE="scratch, post: 306851, member: 1674"] Thanks Bigbaboo, C600 sounds about right. UPS has always removed the outside manufacturer and model names off of its road equipment. A lot of times only the horn button would have the manufacturer's name on it. These were terrible things to drive. The shifter had a giant throw on it between shifts. Theses had old big block gas engines in them. We got a bad batch of rebuilt gas engines and I blew up several of them over a short period of time. I got on a first name basis with the wrecker driver, he would tow me to the first bulk stop so I could deliver it before I switched out trucks. The air brakes were something else. I broke an air line one time and almost rolled over trying to stop it. I also did a 270 degree spin in a mall intersection one morning when they locked up in the rain one day. You could lift up the rubber floor mat and see the road through the rust holes in the floorboard of old 40003 and 40007. The Internationals and Volvos we got when we had UPS Leasing were much better.
