    I think 49 was the last year for this cab, but a friend of mine had one with the newer cab and I think that he said that it was a 49. With that said, I assume 49 was the transition year. I’m going to say post war to 49 model. In my research it seems like very few Autocars are exactly the same.

    Thanks Johnny! Thanks Victor! I’ve only seen a tread pattern like this once in an old picture of an old International. I picked up these drive tires from a supplier on Ebay. The sleeper has a button tuck bed cushion.

    I truly don’t remember where the wheels and tires came from, but I probably picked them up second hand on Ebay.

    I think that you might be right Chuck.

    Thanks Johnny!! There's probably a good chance that they ran recaps on the drives on a few trucks way back then. I know a lot of companies ran recaps on their trailers into the 90s. Thanks Victor! I've always thought the same thing about those tires.

    This is built on an AMT Chevrolet Titan chassis. It is powered by a 903 Cummins. The caster of the cab is unknown, but was probably an amateur. The drive tires are my last Clint Freeman tires.

    I used the Ertl now AMT IH 4300 frame. Less fit issues than the KW and it was a close match.
