  1. Osterlund of Harrisburg/Carlisle was a DR dealer and bought the rights after the old DR went bankrupt. They started building trucks in Harrisburg around '77. They fell on pretty hard times by the early 90's - I don't know exactly when they built their last truck.

    We owned several C-11664DB concrete trucks, and they were well built. I'd put them on a par with our DM's for toughness and reliability, and that's coming from a Mack man! We test drove several models over the years, including ones with the Deutz air-cooled engine. All trucks were the C-116 conventional with limited options, and later they added the C-120 with a more aerodynamic hood. Not sure what model number the Deutz's were.

    The best trucks came out of PA: Mack, Autocar, Diamond Reo! (in that order...)
