Bad to the Bone

What else you gonna do with that extra AutoCar cab, Kw grill, Pete headlights, and Cat 3406 you got laying around?

 

I mean.....at least you can be #### sure that is one of the best maintained rigs your going to see rolling around.

 

He's lucky he can see over the engine sitting that low...Canadian truckers, love 'em or hate 'em, they're a unique breed all their own. But he is missing his front OD candy cane banner

 

In western Canada (AB,SK,MB and possibly BC) no signs are required until 10ft wide (3.05m).
He should have turned the rear sign around.

 

I suspect the cab is an older Western Star based on the air cleaners. The really cool part about this buggy is that it can still pull a trailer down the road. I definitely approve of this one.

 

Autocar and Western Star until the 90's used the same cab sheet metal

 

AutoCar designed that cab and released it in late 1950. They called it the “Driver’s Cab”. White Motors bought A-Car in 1955 and adopted that cab and renamed it the “Corporate Cab” after they used it on Whites, Diamond-T’s, REO’s, later to merge those two into Diamond Reo’s, and the original White-WesternStar’s.

I have 3 of those cabs. One White and Two W-WS’s and no matter what they came on they will always be called AutoCar cabs by me. Lol.
