Chuck P Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm gonna take a stab that it's a '70 or '71 based on the cast grille. Aime Bellavance hauled a lot of granite out of the quarries in Vermont. They still do but with Navistars now. http://www.bellavancetrucking.com/ Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

607t1173 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 An NHC was naturally aspirated but the addition of a T-50 turbo made it a NHCT or it could be an NTC which could be a 270, 290 or 335 since it had no aftercooler.I had a 69 all aluminum A-Car which came with an NTC270 which we replaced with a BC III 400 uprated to 800 hp by Bruce Malinson the diesel " GENIUS" at Pittsburgh Power and it was an absolutely unbelieveable truck drivers dream to drive something with this kind of power " It wasn't for the faint of heart " Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29501-another-cool-a-car/#findComment-165209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This truck and a similar one were for sale in Wheels of Time and the aths web site last year. The pictures looked good and the price seemed right but they still took a long time to sell. I would like to get one like it because my father drove a 1969 A7564 when I was a kid. I actually would like that truck back. It went to Ohio in the 80's, never to be seen again.
