Thanks DM----------Funny thing is----------no one ever noticed the mack pen and ink---That's a L Cab, I chopped the top 4" in my crazy mind.

Nice work!
The windshield appears more vertical on the L model? Among other things I'm sure.

I noticed it was flatter across the top. The sun visor anyway. Didn’t know why though.
Beautiful work.

Chopped Top...Hmmmm... A donor roof, a demo saw, some custom glass and...

These images are from the Boston area. The gentleman that took them was the driver if I understood the story correctly. He is a friend, of a friend of mine... some old school steam.

That was cool, like a shovel folding the cab down, it folded at the stack

I’ve seen a bunch of the old Rogers wobble wheel trailers in pics etc. Can’t say I’ve seen one with rubber that big. Tocci has tons of pics from NY from the AC Mack days up to the late 80’s. They sure love their 100-125 ton beams with big planetary rears. Don’t know that they move iron around like that anymore.

We built a rail trailer at a place i worked every thing but the neck it was a hyd lay down that was run off a pto that ran at a 45 out the side of the truck..Later on we grafted another neck detach that had its own motor. The trailer didnt have maxes so we pulled the heck and pushed it under what ever didnt run. If we were moveing alot of stuff we hauled a D8 to help out.The rail trailer was every handy there was stuff setting around on railroad ties that we hauled in.

I posted a couple of these awhile ago. My buddy who sent these to me... his passion is cooking. If he isn't flying steel into a building in Boston he is making great food and videos!
I invited him to join here awhile back but he is quite busy. So I don't have the backstories for these that he does... here are several others.

What would have been under the hood of the Autocar at that time? The side badge I believe says diesel.

Very cool photos, early example of 3 axle lowbed.
