I really like your AutoCar and if you have access to an old school (probably retired) mechanic for a few tips, I think you really will also. I owned a big Cummins in a late 80’s 379 and it treated me well, but I didn’t know enough about running a successful truck then to be of much help to you. I do remember having a lot of fun with it running hard with the bull haulers. I also like your house and I am betting you have this trucking gig figured out to allow much success. Just a hunch.
I am anxious to see your rig progress as you fix it up.
Any Autocar owners??

I am very particular about what trucks I like.
But that truck is really sharp. I liked them from the first time I saw them.
And there is nothing like a nice big cam.x1Heavy Thanks this. -

A-cars were right up at the top of the line back then. I am not sure why, probably something to do with marketing, but it always seemed to be that the heavy spec models were more popular than trucks with road specs.
I was never however a fan of the 475 big cams, and even less so now. I do know of a couple that are still running every day though. -
I’ve been back here 5 times, to look at that Truck!! It’s an amazing find. I looked for one in the late 90s, never could find one. Very rare. I never noticed the sleeper door location, on them. Ever figure out suspension, has to be Neway or Hendrickson. More pics, if possible.

Found these on Detroit Craigslist. Probably not for your Truck, But nice memorabilia, currently for sale.
