Popular Post other dog Posted January 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2014 Saw this fancy Autocar yesterday in Buckingham when I was going to Dillwyn to load. Got a drive-by picture on the way back. Been there a long time, but it's usually parked in the back where it was hard to get a picture. It had a "for sale" sign on it at one time. 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I kinda liked these when they were around,same guy I made the trip in the KW for had two of them, a matched pair, both were 425 Cats,and from what I was told some of the last trucks built (of any make) with a factory installed 6X4 trans. This guy Wm. (Billy) Chester was a notorious cheapskate,but didn't mind spending on FANCY equipment! paid his drivers shit,ran them harder then humanly possible,but he did have "pretty" trucks Lol! he never kept any drivers more than a few months! always had 1-2 trucks held-up at Caterpillar with "mechanics leans" against them! real fly by night operator he was! started beating people out of money,"cooking" the books even arranged for a benefit for his son who ran a dirt-modified (as it turns out,he wasn't hurt as advertised,but only broke) got in some hot water behind that too! Ended up going from 15-20 trucks and trailers to ZERO which didn't surprise anyone that knew the guy,real piece of work he was!.......................................Mark Wm.Chester and Son FarmsNewfield,NJ Quote Mack Truck literate.

57 bcr Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I always liked the AT64 Autocars,too.There were a few local gravel guys had them around this area,when they came out.A nice red/black one had been running around the area for years.Last time I seen it,a "bullfighter" was driving it and it still looked nice (hard to believe). I think those cabs just rotted out quicker than a late '70's MACK! Kinda like the Western Stars of that era,also. They too were cursed with the soon to be perforated cab!

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Mark Nice picture. I think that Autocar Model was designated U- Model Thats the heaviest one I ever saw with the big rubber and tandem. Suicide doors look wild. There was a Father and Son from Pittsburg area that had a nice Uautocar with mixer on back single axle. They btought it to Macungie a few times.
