I build the cabs for the DC line of trucks. Each one is hand built, parts and all.
Much love for the steel fenders, steel hoods & Cummins Big Cam 350
Great Video
I have a 1985 AT64F and belong to the Classic Autocar Truck Group a division of the American Historical Society
The first "diesel" truck I learned to drive on was a 1972 Autocar dumptruck, 318 x 871dd, 15spd, 20FA, 48Rocks, 513's. It was one big bad truck, loud and fun.
Autocar needs to design a long haul sleeper cab version of that DC64. Owner operators like me would be all over them!
It would be nice if they made a long square hood model to be more like the older style
@@markwilliams4525 That's what I was getting at. Long hood, dual exterior breathers, dual stacks and a BIG comfy sleeper.
@@MikeBrown-ii3pt I'm with you 100% on that! I've got a 84 dc66 autocar that I'm rebuilding to mount my 30ton terex crane on simply because I like that style truck
@@markwilliams4525 I don't care who ya are...that's a REAL truck right there (in my best Larry the Cable Guy voice)! My 2006 Classic would bow down to your Autocar! And my old Freightshaker ain't no joke!
@@MikeBrown-ii3pt I like kws, petes, freightliners and some macks but there's something about the Acars that are different. I almost sold it one time and am glad I kept it.
"OVER THE TOP"
IVAN DRAGO I was gonna post the same thing, Sly drove an auto car diesel truck in that movie.
@@Akumaa2000 yup.....it was a nice truck....very nice
Back in my day I would rather had an Autocar than a Peterbuilt...Any Time.!!!
Bilt. Peterbilt. Every damn time.
Autocar trucks are very cool, solid, powerfull trucks ever built. The construktor is my favorite autocar!
Auto car used wood also
I once told a friend, if I were to get wiped out by a dump truck, I would want it to be, an Autocar !
Autocar was the only truck robust & powerful enough to run a snowplow and a power sander (cinder spreader) in the sizes required for the long plow route uses in the high mountains with steep grades and long circuit routes between turn around. It takes two Freightliners to do the job of one old Autocar.
I drove a 1971 Autocar 335 cummins 5x4 gearbox double aluminum frame, one of the nicest trucks I ever drove. 1970/2015 retired.
I drove a 70 Acar with a 290 Cummins. 13 speed pulling a Fruehauf tub trailer for a few years,, Always liked ACARs
Totally skipped over the weight saving aluminum A models that were extremely popular in the 60's and 70's.
Beautiful trucks I love 💘 it you made things wonderful good useful make human life happy God bless you and protect you you science education original

Awesome history update ! Thank You!
Great video! Newest Autocar is awesome!
That DC64 is a seriously hefty truck & beautifully designed.
Tremendos camiones que poco se habla de ellos con la mecánica fácil fuerte sin complicaciones en estos camiones yo aprendí a manejar y trabajar la mecánica muchas gracias el viejo Mendez.
Awesome video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Autocar, come long way, hope it keep on growing in the future... P.S I like the over the top movie... A Autocar was in the movie
I believe it was back in 1987 or 89 they had a beautiful Tractor for over the road use, i saw one at a truck show one time and fell in love with that back, it was beautiful looked just like a Pete 379 model.
1974 AUTOCAR Quad Axle Dump , 1693 CAT pulling a 10 wheeler .
Thank you for the history lesson 👍 keep up the good work
I don’t know that Autocar was still make truck till today thank Jack.
Same I thought they went out of business
Same here.Glad they're still going😎👍!
Our city's Sanitation department uses Autocar trash trucks and the old school WhiteGMC/Volvo "cabover" trucks too.
they make trash trucks now lots of company's buy the acx and there cap over engine
Waste Management has a lot of the AutoCar ACX cabover rigs in their fleet with the McNeilus AutoReach side load compactor.
Even Waste Management's Carson City, Nevada subsidiary Capital Sanitation has them too.
LOVE THESE SHOWS!
Thanks for watching!!
AutoCar the ultimate truck good video I thought you would never get to it now please cover Hendrickson trucks
Awesome
I thought Autocar went out of business! Cool to see they're still making new trucks!
i was too suprised that there were not defunct!!!

My first truck driving job in -‘73 was a ‘69 Autocar
You are living legend!
The best time for trucking were 60s and 70s and you are glad you drove at that time.
Now trucking is stupid and trucks became shit
i just got a s64b autocar. posted a few videos of it
Still waiting on the Detroit Diesel video
What model years used Diamond Plate Steel for fenders?
nothing about the fire trucks built on their frame that was made in the early 50's for chicago fire dept.
That was a very interesting piece of history on this particular trucks manufacturer
I personally would've liked to get my hands on one of the earlier models and trick it out
I as an otr/long haul driver would love a sleeper cab Autocar to compete with peterbilt id trade in my pete right now for an autocar
I have a 1975 Autocar that looks like a Conatrucktor but on the data tag it says it is a S42B....originally with a Cummins 230 engine. Anyone have an idea what a S42B is?
I will take a hard nose DK any day
hey jacks chrome you guys got any news on MATS i signed up but just assumed that it was canceled im a 14 yr old truck fanatic i gotta know
Yes MATS this year was cancelled. The 2021 MATS will be the 50th anniversary of the show. Definitely one to go to.
@@jackschromeshop8296 are yall gonna be there next year?
Autocar is cool, a legendary brand!
...but let's see your face Maddie!
On GARD)
Now I know why Volvo trucks are heavy )
It sounds like she is saying Jacks chrome show instead of shop LOL!
Model ex vee three or model eighteen???
Scott Trucks have short & interesting history
How many people here have heard of them ?
Out of Nova Scotia right?
I have, I work at Midland and it was the base of their fleet in the late 70's early 80's
As someone who works on Autocar garbage trucks 5 days a week, I can say that they are a pain in the ass to work on. And we just got a new conventional model roll off truck
Lmao...I used to work there....not a fun place to be...always seem to be short on parts everything !.....everywhere...and don’t get me started on the Union...
Once they get past the late 70’s early 80’ models I’m out lol
Autocars were the Cadilacs of trucks in their day.
Oh ya.!....My Dad and Uncles were WW2 vets , and when someone said Truck , they would say
" Autocar ..they helped us win the war "...
I think Mack makes a very good vocational truck as well.
I think Autocar is a part of Daimler/Freightliner
BERT GRAU
AUTOCAR IS NOW AN INDEPENDENT!
@@rossbryan6102
What kind of engine are they using?
@@bertgrau9246 The way it works in such heavy duty applications is the customer largely gets to select the engine. its why a mack can be had with a cummins or a Ford with a caterpillar. or so I've been told, at least.
Bert Grau THEY ARE OFFERING 2 DIFFERENT MODELS OF CUMMINS!
L -9 --300 HP TO 380 HP
X-12. 350 HP TO 500 HP
TRANSMISSIONS
ALLISON
3000
3500
4500 RDS

Who here think of the autocar from maximum overdrive
Autocar is the one who made a all stainless steel truck they made a bunch of them for a Steel factory iowa80truckingmuseum.com/exhibits-list/autocar/125/
Volvo ruined Mack too.
So much nicer looking than a Pete or KW & definitely better all around then Volvo, Freightliner
I remember those 1/2 cabs being used as tri-axle dumps for TILCON Corp in CT. A couple were turned into service trucks for O&G in later years
The new conventional would make a bad ass looking tri-axle dump
hello America do not manufacture trucks .recondition you self. Saludos HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY FROM ENGLAND UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
In the 70s and 80s Autocar built some of the best winch trucks in the oilfield
This only made me realize I need my sick ducked brah 😐
Awesome
