    Thanks Victor! The ones of these that I usually worked on were gas burner 700 series, but vertical much similar. I’m not terribly tall, I would have to climb up on one of these and then almost stand on my head to reach back down to work on the engine. Sometimes I just climbed up and sat under the hood.

    Thanks Brian! I always liked how these trucks looked, I just hated working on the ones that didn’t have a tilt front end.

    I like the paint scheme and the 4 door cab! Nice work!

    This was a resin conversion from an unknown caster. The chassis was made from spare parts.

    Thanks! I don’t know the reason, but that is one of the reasons that I put duals on this one. Ford actually did them this way, so I thought that it would be a neat detail to put on this build.
  8. This began with a A.I.T.M. Cab. It has an 8v-71 Detroit, Clint Freeman 2 hole Budds, Double Take steer tires and Scenes Unlimited drive tires.

    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.
