Any Autocar owners??

Nice Carcar, and welcome aboard. My 1st truck as an o/ o was a 1982 4964 Western Star conventional, very similar to your truck. When I bought it, it had the White "Reyco" suspension. After 2 broken springs in a month, I had the back cut off behind the sleeper and grafted a Pete air ride, with much better results. Had a 350 BC, 10 speed, Imade money with that truck, only because in 3 years, it rarely let me down. Not sure what a 475 BC is, a turned up 400 maybe, but you have to baby a Cummins. It's not a Cat motor, but I got 350K+ on my BC's, easy, just gotta go easy on them. This is what my WS looked like, only blue. It was a good truck. White made good trucks, and your A-car, like my WS is almost all White components. White bought Autocar in the 50''s, just to get that cab. It became the staple of all White trucks..

Use to drive a 84 A car years ago.... nice truck, and welcome to the forum!!

 

Thanks so much for your knowledge. The 475 has the timing advance on it. That's a nice looking WS. Looks so much like mine. Even the sleeper.

 

Thanks so much!! Love those pictures. Nice truck!!

 

Nice truck, is that a train horn I hear?

 

Beautiful truck, I was thinking about checking it out. That Cummins was the only thing I didn’t like about it. Just my personal preference. I had a 1985 western star and so did my dad. Very similar trucks. And both built by the white Motor company. When trucks were trucks.

 

I swear these AT64s and Pre 1985 Western stars and even the 1986 to early 90s western stars were some of the nicest trucks ever Built

 

Thanks so much for the compliment.

 

I have to agree with you. A man's truck...
