I may haver more, he sent me a CD with a zillion photos of old abandoned trucks on it. I'll send him an mail, him and his wife are touring the country in a big RV (she has terminal cancer). Could be in Washington State. I figured the Pacific Northwest because of the moss. I'll know sometime tomorrow.

The photo and the ones sent to me of the old steam train engine were taken in Washington State. The AC was taken off the Pacific Northwest Trail off of Bloedel Logging Road. The balance of photos were from the Bloedel-Donovan Park. Same place I think .  Paul

Neat picture.

I like the AC.

Would be nice to bring it back to life. And looks like someone started to install air conditioning on it.

Or did you mean exactly that when titled the thread "AC logger"?

I read it that it was repowered  with a v-8 from a1956 Packard car.     I think that is the automotive style radiator.

Quite a few AC chassis were converted to Chevrolet 6 cylinder in line, Ford and Lincoln Flat head V-8's to make them more drivable. This is the first I've ever heard of with a Packard V-8. The engine it self is rare, only two or 3 year production run 352 or 374 cubic inch.

Truck also appears by the cowl and radiator area to be a 1922 or older coil radiator unit. A 1923 AC  the cowl would be cut shallower with a square radiator top tank that w are familiar with most.

Chevy 6 cylinder powered. This company ran dozens of them up to the late 1940's.

The radiator (the original one:)) appears to me as a AC-1, with belt-driven fan.

Yes, used until mid to late 1922. Definitely one of the early ones.   Paul
