kscarbel2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We're not exactly sure how old this Autocar ACL64B CASA Redimix Concrete Corp. #concrete #mixer truck is, but it's about 20 years since we built the last ACL model trucks. Now, who wants to see a new #AutocarDC mixer truck on the road? #ThowbackThursday #TBT. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hard to believe it but this truck is almost 30 years old. Yes, our #FlashbackFriday is a tasty 1990 Autocar ACLB64 dump sent in by Daylan Nelson. Time to kick back after a hard day's work and enjoy the evening, Daylan. #FF #AlwaysUp . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 In California there are plenty of Autocar cabover #rolloff trucks, like this #CNG-powered ACX. The ACX has the tightest turning radius to handle all those tricky pickup locations.

mrsmackpaul Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 They were never big seller's in Australia, however considering how few would have been sold a surprisingly large amount seem to have survived And it's even more surprising considering the extreme conditions a lot were operated under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 When you're thinking of buying a new truck, keep this in mind: 20 years ago, Rick Armstrong bought his 1987 Autocar DK with a 350 Cummins and he's still making money with it today.

kscarbel2 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 It's a nice day to pour the foundation for a new Costco store - just park your Autocar ACX in the middle of the pad and reach the entire 360 foundation without budging. #AutocarConcrete #AlwaysUp . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidyne Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The old cab inherited from the White RX was kinda scrunched, so Autocar made the wide version standard and squared up the slanted back panel to get a bit more room there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 Autocar has quite a history down-under, in this case, in New Zealand. Our fan, Ed Mansell, sent in this unusual 1984 Autocar that Ed says is a "DC-64B". No doubt, it was factory engineered as a right-hand drive with plenty of other custom features as well. #AutocarDC #AlwaysUp . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Here's the truth why concrete pumpers are switching to Autocar trucks: “My guys have been in Macks forever, but they love the Autocars. They ride better, they turn better with a way-smaller turning radius, and the biggest thing is, they don’t have to be in the shop.” Read the latest review here: https://lnkd.in/eFey8Jc #AlwaysUp #MakeTheChange #AutocarConcrete #AutocarACX .
