    Long story but not down sizing - just reconfiguring

    I can get the same or more net payload weight by going 3 axle and lower my gross weight by around 3-4K

    I can get under 110' overall length

    I have the option of running to western Canada

    It will be slightly easier to get in and out of tight spots with the short wheelbase

    I found this on another website....
    1962 Autocar model AP 19 heavy articulated low loader.

    This Autocar was originally built for Arizona Public Service and delivered to Eidal of Albequerque New Mexico,for the winch and bed rigging. The 350 Ton capacity trailer was manufactured by Eidal as well. The complete unit was built for the transportation of transformers/generators across the Navajo Nation Desert in the construction of the Four Corners Power Plant, west of Farmington, New Mexico.

    Lupul Transport of Edmonton Alberta,purchased the complete unit in 1966. The truck is still in Edmonton and the trailer was sold in 1993 to Premay.

    Anthony (Tony) Lupul passed away Oct.25.2013. We have been approached to place the Autocar in a museum that will be completed in Devon AB... autocar_1962_rp18_de_sml.jpg

    I swear that Premay still uses that bed up at Syncrude. They use it to float support equipment around the mine and to/from the shops to save on undercarriage.

    I guarantee they do. I know that trailer, and the prime mover they built to pull it.

    Oh, and the first load they put on it paid for the trailer...
