Rob Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 No harm in that one Al. I like it and it'll fit the collection quite nicely.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 AL, Looks like someone took good care of their baby. I remember occasionally seeing an Autocar here in my area also when I was a kid growing up in the 50's & 60's. I have always been partial to the B Model Macks. My older brother would point out the other trucks and tell me about them. Looks Great, take good care of it mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12771-my-new-one-not-a-mack/#findComment-50182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom309 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Way to go!!! I used to have a 69 Autocar back in the seventies. I thought it had heavy rear axles, ( 55,000 lbs ) but it was just a lightweight compared to yours.

ThaddeusW Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I cant come up with the words to describe how awesome your truck is and how lucky you are to have bought it. I am jealous! I always think that a very heavy spec classic would be an awesome show piece. How much did you pick it up for and what was the name of the previous owner(s)? I would love to get my hands on an LR or M45Do you mind if I post these pictures on the Hanks truck pictures forum? I am sure many people there will enjoy them.

Looks Great, take good care of it mike I should also note that their is an AutoCar in my area that i've seen at different times and have wanted to take a photo of it. I'm going to call and arrange an up close view of it today and then i'll post-it. This morning it was sitting beside a MACK Super Liner that has been sitting for 2 years in this lot. I thought it may have been abandoned and the AutCar is getting ready to pull the MACK somewhere. mike mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12771-my-new-one-not-a-mack/#findComment-50218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
