My brother's 1970 Autocar A64B we restored a few years ago. All aluminum cab and frame with a 318 Detroit Diesel.

Dean, that whole collection is awesome!

That really is something to envy.

I almost bought a Cannonball day cab truck a few years ago at an auction. It was complete. I just couldn't figure out what to do with it, and I have no CDL. It sold for 850 bucks.Jay

Bringing back this old thread I found on a search for Autocar pics. This should have gone in "Heavy Haulers", so maybe it could be moved there now? It's a great thread I'd like to see hang around a while.

Remember Dennis Weaver in Duel? That Peterbuilt gave me nightmares as a kid.

Not an understatement, this truck must easily have a millions and millions of miles on it. I've seen it dozens and dozens of times over the last 20 years hauling day and night. This Autocar is quite a sight to behold, surely a legend on the West Coast.
