What year?

Deets? Stats? D.O.B.? Measurements? :)

Details? Specifications? Age? Capacity?


I drove a '65 AutoCar for a couple of years.
12 yard aluminum dump box. Been a while.

Nice pics man, Those Autocars make much better water trucks then the Pete dumps with the water tanker insert.

I think the other one could likely be up at Albertis or Providence, GW had been collapsing some of the basins there, and with their proximity to 29, I think it would be a good canidite, but :beatsme

I wonder where the old A25 watertruck is, that thing can shoot some water:notworthy

I saw him today at Maris Grove grade-checking for "milkman", so he's still got a job, but what I heard is they aren't giving him back his hoe any time soon, but I'm don't know if that is fact or a rumor:beatsme

Here is our 89' Autocar with a 400 Cummins. This winter we just dumped 20K in parts into it, including paint, which the first pic is us setting the box back on.

Since you asked...
This is my DC87D-OH (off highway)
It originally came with rock body, but the last owner installed this Bibadeebubadeedub POS. I am looking for a real rock body with vertical scissor style gate, if anyone knows anything...............

It is NH250, 5+4 and has 6 inch solid forged steel/manganese alloy torque arms (like the frame railS, all 6 of them).
Works everyday, and makes money.:D

When you crack the thottle on a large old NATURALLY ASPIRATED engine, its like thunder...
There ain't no low compression, whistling superstar under that hood.:drinkup
