    Good looking rig. Nice day in South central PA too. Got up to 50 this morning and sunny. Felt like spring.

    From the looks of the terrain, it hasn't rained there in a LONG time.

    Is this what your talking about? This is out of a 1966 B61T service manual. Bosh APE 6BB type pump.

    Thanks guys. Guess I'll try them.

    I have an Eaton 2 speed rear set up for 10.00-20 tires but I'm wondering if 11.00-20 will fit. The spacers are 4" and I have 1 and 5/8 clearance between the tires and the same between inner tire and spring clip. Military surplus 11.00-20s are really cheap, and I'd like to use them if I can. Anybody know if they'll fit?

    Looks great. Still willing to share your masking technique for painting the rims with the tires on?

    Jeeze, come on man. I was really looking forward to hearing the solution to this problem. What a let down.

    In 1998 I traveled to Kiev, Ukraine to help set up a satellite dish. The heavy trucks over there looked EXACTLY like the grey one in the picture, except they were all painted white. They were everywhere lumbering around Kiev, belching black smoke. It was just like stepping back in time. It was an hour drive to the site, so I had plenty of time to gawk. No slope nose plastic crap for those guys.

    Nice work. Looks like your firewall is cracked down low in the corners, same as mine was. must be common. I welded 3/16 plates on both lower corners. Really stiffened the cab up. If you find a source for cab rubber seals or windshield frame seal, please let me know. I was never able to find a grill for mine. Ended up making one. All of the ones I found were just as bad as the one I had.

    Those are good looking tires. What brand are the front ones? I need tires for my EG and they look like they'd be perfect.

    No moose in Canada? What happened? I lived in Anchorage AK for 9 years and there were moose everywhere. Cool bumper, looks good. That would work good in PA as well. Damn deer everywhere down here. All running crazy too, now that hunting season just opened.

    I think they already outlawed the 2 stroke Detroit. Saw a nice medium duty dump on E-bay last year with a 6v-53. Guy said he couldn't register it in CA any more thanks to emission laws. Wouldn't live in that crap state if they paid me to.

    After blasting
    Electric conversion? This should be interesting. Keep the photos coming. AC or DC motor?

    Both cool trucks. I had a 1950 Power Wagon when I was stationed in Alaska. Used to cruise around Anchorage in it. I replaced the non syncro box with a NP420. Made it a lot better to drive in traffic.

    I too would like to know where the vintage diamond tread tires came from. I like the steer tires on the J. Wojtowicz truck as well. I need a set of old school bias plys for my E model. If anybody has a source, please tell.

    Like to have those headlight buckets for my E.

    Back in the 90's I stopped at a junk yard somewhere between Anchorage and Fairbanks AK and there were piles of these Autocar trucks there. I think it was called Miller's Salvage. Remember seeing a mountain of transfer cases and transmissions that were pulled from them. Picked up a perfect window regulator for my 50 Dodge Power Wagon there. Very cool place.

    Like old trucks that still look period but have updated engines/running gear so they will at least do the speed limit. Putting down the road at 40mph with a mile of pissed off drivers behind me kinda spoils the experience for me.
