Popular Post yarnall Posted April 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2013 Here is another stainless Autocar. I think there were about a dozen made. There was a good article in Double Clutch a few years ago. Gap and another guy Gene(?) own about 5 of them. The one on the trailer has a few problems, but is still a very neat truck. Some of you may not like the Pete hauler, but it is a nice, original truck.

Popular Post Chuck P Posted April 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2013 Pic borrowed from the internet for educational purposes only. This one may have been a diesel conversion as I thought all S.S. trucks were C65s (no "D" prefix). 3 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

yarnall Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am glad to live in an area with so much trucking history. Autocars were built just south of where I live and Macks are built 18 miles north. Here are my two Autocars. I might have posted them before.This is a 1960 DC75T with a 250 Cummins with a Jake and a 5 and a 2. It was built in Exton, PAhttp://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/13170-1960-autocar-dc75t/This is a 1950 C90D. It has a 501 Blue Streak gas and a 5 and a 2. It has a hydraulic lift tag axle. The drive axle is 8' 6" wide so it would have needed a permit every time is went on the road until the width law changed. It was built in Ardmore, PA before White bought Autocar in 1953 and moved the plant to Exton.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/gallery/image/9716-1950-autocar-c90/Mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30336-autocars/page/8/#findComment-178156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I bought the C90 in July of 2008. Bud Temple, who had owned Frame's, still had the 1950 C65. I tried to buy that too, but his son wanted to keep it. I don't think his son was very happy that he sold this one. The C90 is the nice truck anyway and it is more unique. It is my favorite truck in my collection. Mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30336-autocars/page/8/#findComment-178172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FirstEliminator Posted April 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2013 This old Autocar dump sat in Norwalk for years, not sure what became of it.Picture.jpg Looks like this one that was one Craigslist last month: I wrote the seller an e-mail telling him I thought it was a cool looking truck. But, I didn't get a reply. Some guys don't like penpals with no money to buy their stuff.

wastenafarmtrucking Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Any pics of your old truck? I think there is a Mack thread somewhere on here too. Yea, I posted them on here before and had it as my profile pic. It was stolen in Feb. and hasn't been recovered.
