Vladislav Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Wow, thats pretty cool they were almost a Mack.Yea, I was double liked starting with my NR because it was to me both Mack and YaAZ.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullhusk Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My favorite non-Mack is the truck of my country's origin - YaAZ.Production years were 1951-1958.It's structure based on 40's Mack NR series although with a lot of differences.Most chassis including front axle and Camelback are too close to Mack but reworked to metric.The engine was two stroke, a copy of 6-71.There were 5 speed gearbox and 2 speed transfer case.Two parallel propeller shafts came to axles with no interaxle diff.Cab has wooden structure with wooded outside lining on early series.Nearly 20,000 units were produced.The only one survived is known at the moment. Keeped in a closed army area with no chances to get it off.VladIt looks more like a early Brockway cab to me?? Maybe even an old Federal?BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The cab is local built, wooden-framed with metal roof.I have one at the yard.Front fenders couldn't be mistaken but most other has their own design.Anyway all Soviet after-the-war automotive production had big influence from American technik that was in great quantities supplied under Lend-Lease.So you can note some things from different US vehicles of that time.Interesting fact - first pre-production prototype had just L-model cab.Vlad 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leversole Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Super Bad A$$ Heavy Autocar!!! I love this one!Any one of you know the aproximate year and the model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Any one of you know the aproximate year and the model?Its a "DC" series,Autocar had a complicated numerical system,and built so many specialized trucks,its hard to narrow it down to a specific model. And as far as the year,my guess is mid to late sixties,evidenced by the "Autocar Diesel" badge on the side of the hood,later models just had the word "AUTOCAR" in script.................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

burnstransport Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 In the late 80s when I was a young boy there was a large construction project going on at my school during the school year, during the early phase of the site work there were lots of different dump trucks in and out for a few weeks, one was a brand new "classic" style Autocar with lots of chrome and aluminum, it was the first Autocar I ever saw and always thought them to be one serious looking truck!Also loved the GMC 9500 series with the quad round headlights in the grille, my best friend's uncle had one for a sewer pumper with a screamin' driptroit under the hood, we could always hear him from a mile away leaving the stoplight in the center of town while playing in the school yard!

hellbilly Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Heres where I'm going to catch some hell . I know this is a Mack site but.....A 1996 379 flattop Peterbilt. 12" straight stacks, stretched, chromed and lit up pulling a polished tank. To me this truck will make the most experienced driver grab a hold of that white line when he see's that truck coming up in his mirror.

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I have some pictures but I am not capable of posting them. In the near future I will ask my friend oldspwr to post them. Mine is pretty complete but needs restoration. My Father had some GMC'S in late 50's early 60's along with other brands $$$ was always the deciding factor on purchases. Joe D.

JTFormula Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think I've always been partial to C60/c70 Chevys from 73-80's and internationals, especially the Eagle cabover double bunks. Also a 379 would be nice. Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
