I worked for Vigo truck center in 79 in Terre Haute IN, we were a white and freightliner dealer so I've worked on a lot of A64B models Autocar and mack R models were the primary trucks used in the coal hauling here in west central Indiana, loved this truck
I learned to drive on a 1939 Autocar. Back in those days the position of controls was not standardized between manufacturers. The 39 Autocar had the accelerator and brake pedals reversed. The brake was on the right and the accelerator was in the middle between the church and brake.
My daddy worked on and rebuilt auto car trucks from wrecked ones and kept a fleet of AUTO CAR TRUCKS UP for TARHEEL BANANA CO. FOR 40YRS.When daddy died this man was *ucked! he was a mechanic we buried with a million dollar worth of knowledge on a 7 the grade education. Died from poisoning of benzene and other chemicals those MECHANICS BREATHE EVERYDAY. RIP daddy turning those wrenches in the sky 🕊️🙏
First truck I was on my own in was a 71 Autocar flat fender triaxle dump. She was a beast lighter weight than other triaxles in the company and just couldn't stop her. 220 n/a Cummins and a 13 speed double overdrive. Poor old girl was pretty worn out though, hard to make her run straight down the road
This is what you call a Monsterous & Heavy!!!! built beast. No macks don't count... I consider A-car one of them Pre-1985 Especially with the Construcktor!
I don't know about the whole ask and receive? I asked for a OTR version of the new DC64, but they said they had no intention of doing one, that they were gonna only do vocational trucks with em. I think that you put a sleeper on one and it'd make an awesome OTR rig.
Especially a heavy haul / custom equipment carrier. I want on with an 9LL or a 3 speed second transmission. No luck. Guess I will keep running my 1980s through 2001 Autocars.
11. Autocar is pretty much the daddy of Soviet truck manufacturing. The first successful mass-produced Soviet truck model - the ZiS-5, is a licenced version of an Autocar truck. After WWII they just started copying American solutions without licensing. Take a look at the KrAZ trucks, which use an unlicensed copy of the Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines.
I wrote em a hilarious letter in response talking about doing one of those infomercials with Sally Struthers talking about all the poor, underprivileged truckers without an Autocar of their own. It was fkn hilarious!😂
I don't think I have seen an AUTOCAR TRUCK since I was a kid. I thought they were out of business. This must be the only American owned truck manufacturer.
Love those ACARS!!!
Acars hold a special place in my heart. As a youngster I road in a few Acars with drivers for a co. That only had Acars. Great trucks.

The Mack Supedog and the Autocars are the most well build semi truck in the American history trucking

The Autocar is the only thing worth watching in that movie!

Always loved the very distinctive designs of autocar trucks

I always liked the "Rolling A" hood ornament Autocar used in the 50's and early 60's.
Great information about Autocar - perfect for any truck fan!

I drive an Autocar Expiditor side loader garbage truck. Love it!
Autocar! The first name in trucks! #1, of three of the greatest trucks ever manufactured.
Damn right! & the ONLY heaviest most gorgeous Beasts !!!! out there (macks don't count) lol.
The Autocar and the Mack Supedog ... Both of them
Checkout the New Autocar DC-64.
Beautiful new tribute to its own history with modern drivetrain!
I worked for a company that made concrete pipe they had a fleet of autocars from 1976 models to 2001 models they were real work horses

Thanks, I learned some stuff!😎
I drive an autocar cab over for a living. No air ride suspension, but it is light and moves!
Stop in Jacks everytime I'm through there.

@@TC-rk9vu Anyway, my Friend, we want Sexy Ladys talking, gives the Channel the exotic Note, isn't so? 🤣😁Greatings from Germany...
That black autocar at the end is not the same from movie OVER THE TOP....the one from over the top had a narrow hood...this one has a wider hood
White Freightliner...White Volvo....White GMC....it's been a long time since White made anything of their own.
There is a red autocar in maximum overdrive
Over The Top is a good movie
Interesting...
I never understood the Chevy BOWTIE. A real BOWTIE is smaller in the middle than the ends. The Chevy is opposite. How can that be a bowtie?
AT 64 💪
A true work horse. Tuff as nails.
Duel truck Autocar also in Die Hard. What happened to Maddie?
The Duel truck was a Peterbilt 351.
👍
If you take care of a autocar it will last foever
