Thanks, Mike. I can see filled holes on the inside that look right for the larger plaque like this one.

Thanks. The guy I bought it from had the build sheet says it was ordered with headlights and no generator but a battery. It was ordered by Texaco. He couldn't find the info though. I'll have to measure them. Mike

I bought a 1922 AB and it is missing both of the brass plaques with the bulldog shredding the paper that says operating costs. I also would like to replace the headlights because they are not complete. I don't know how they work since it doesn't have a generator or a battery, but I would like something that looks better. While I am at it I could also use the linkage for the hand throttle and spark arrester that attach to be shaft on the bottom of the steering shaft. I also would like to replace the water pump. Please let me know what you have. Thanks. Mike, Boyertown, Pa.

I bought this AB two months ago. It is reasonably nice and runs good, but needs a few things. As usual, it looks better in pictures than in person. I would like to replace the headlights and I need the brass plaques for the side of the cab. Let me know what you have. I will also post a thread in he want adds. Thanks. Mike

Wow! I just read the whole thread. You are going all out. I got a vote of $8000 to paint an Autocar cab and doors inside and out. It is already off the truck and stripped. It did not get done. I think you got a too price. I have wheel and tire envy. Mike.

I want to see the R719 I person. Are you staying for Macungie?

Congratulations and good luck with the truck. Having the brakes done already is a huge benefit. It is a neat looking trucks. We have a 1941 Type 55 open cab. It needs brake work or we would be running it around. The Macks in Basking Ridge are a private collection owned by Gary Mahan. It is well worth the visit if you have never gone. A donation in the $50-100 range is good. When you see what you get you might want to give more. Mike

Welcome to he forum and congratulations on the A40 acquisition. To post pictures you use the "more reply options" button then chose a picture and attach it. Mike

Looks great. What is going on the back? Mike

So you were in Oley and didn't stop to visit?

sounds good. send the picture.

If no one else comes through I have wheels. I'd have to check them. I will be at both York and Macungie. Mike.

The black B model with the integral sleeper was at the 2000 ATHS show in Valley Forge PA. My father got talking to the owner, Bill Abbott from Iowa, who said he was looking for a single axle tank trailer. My father mentioned one that a friend, Phil Mack, owned. They went to look at it and he bought it for $500. The B model had been hauled to the show on a step deck. They drove to Gilbertsville, hooked to the tanker and loaded the whole rig on the step deck using the dock at the local tractor dealer. There was a story about this in Double Clutch from back then. I will try to find it. Bill sent pictures of the trailer in progress. He really put a lot of work into it. I had wanted to buy the trailer to pull behind my Fleetstar, but my father wouldn't hear of it. Mike

Now I believe you. Great work. Hope you are outting the body on now. Mike

We don't believe you without pictures. Keep them coming. Mike

Awesome. I'm jealous. I want it. Mike

I've got one listed in the for sale section listed as "R686 parts truck". I was unable to copy the link. It is pretty rough. Mike

Congratulations. Where do you live? What do you need? There is a big fire flea market in Allentown PA this Sunday. Not a whole lot of older stuff there these day, but there is always some goodies. Under the E model registry thread there is a number for John Chalmers. He has some E model parts. My father has a big E, a type 55. It only needs brake work. Welcome to the forum. Mike

All of the trucks at this place look better in pictures than in person. I kept looking at the pictures of the one V model thinking I should buy it. We went back up to look at it and it wasn't nearly as nice after the snow had melted. I haven't seen the R model without the snow. You can see the big galvanized patches on the fenders. I have looked at prices for CJ bodies. Way more than I want to pay. I will buy floors and rockers for the Scout if we can get it running(and tires). Mike- I know where you can get a real cheap 1951 CJ3A. It needs a motor and a transmission and a body and floors. Mike

Have you considered writing articles for Double Clutch? It would be great to share some of your knowledge with ATCA members. Mike

The ATCA National Show is held annually in Macungie Memorial Park on Father's Day Weekend. The dates for this year are Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20. Most of the trucks are gone by Saturday night. Macungie Park in located in the middle of Macungie PA just off of PA Rt 100 across from the Bear Swamp Diner. You can find registration information at www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org. The link to the registration form is in bold letters in the middle of the page. It is consistently one of the best weekends/weeks or the year for me and well worth the 18 mile drive. You better not come if you don't like Macks though. Mike

I always have a case or two of Yuengling Lager around. It is how I get my father to work on my stuff. Maybe if they were sober they could have gotten it running. Mike

I don't look that close. A 6 cylinder so an RD450 or 501. I have a V200 and 2 Fleetstars with 549's in them and one cut off.

It is actually a GMC. And no, I did not buy it. It will probably get cut up along with 3 V model and 2 R model Internationals. If I had somewhere to go with them I would buy a couple of them. Of you know of anyone who needs parts let me know. They still have the U model. It is too rough for the asking price. The rest are all scrap price. That is too high for them so they will go to scrap. Except for this one. It is coming to my house too. I never learn. Mike.
