  1. The first ones had 12V71s with Allison 5960's then they went to KTA's with the 6061 Allisons.They were built and designed for Menzie Bay Div of MacMiillan Bloedel just north of Cambell River B C .I think there was 29 built in total.A lot of them are still hauling logs at the north end of Vancouver Island and Queen Charletts.All were built in Ontario plant as cab and chassis then came to Vancouver to be fitted for water tanks,bunks and trailers at Columbia Trailer.

  2. Looking through my july/august 1975 magazine I found a article on a AUTOCAR model DC9964U off-set cab.Has any one seen one back east?Model in book shows a dump truck with Cummins PT 270 high torque rise engine,Fuller TO955ALL trans,SUDD rears,on Hendrickson rubber blocks,FL-931 front axle,Ross HF64B power steering.Has Fruehauf dump box.Question for the Autocar experts?Were there very many made and is there any left.Nice looking truck.

  3. why with 605 hp would you put 9.59 rear ratio in it.Lots of power to ground but slow.my lj has 9.02s 11.00x22 tires .78 in main and .813 in a box and the only way i can get to 50 is in mexican od.
