vanscottbuilders Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Morgan,PM me for details on a late 70's/early 80's Autocar Jimmy & I have in the yard, if your brother can use it.Running and driving truck - very heavy (65,000# rears) on huge springs, with pretty new 11. or 12.00 x 24.5 radial rubber all around. 335 Cummins with a 13 spd., I think (I need to go look at the transmission). Was spec'd as a heavy duty municipal lowboy tractor, so very, very low original miles. Currently has a huge Badger manure tank on it. The tank is probably not functional - no pumps or equipment for the tank. It would make a nice yard planter!The cab will need some work, but it's all there, as are the front fenders and sheet metal. They are the square "Construcktor" type fenders. The radiator shell is polished, and excellent.We can remove the manure tank, if necessary. It's probably just scrap, although it is not rusted through anywhere.If you are wanting a heavy A-car - this is a good buy. The rubber alone is probably worth what the truck is!Good paperwork included.We can bring it out to you - no trouble.Let me know.Paul VS Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11023-brother-in-law-bought-a-autocar/#findComment-44021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
