    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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?
