Check out the latest pair of pumps from our good friends at Champion Concrete Pumping Inc. & Conveying. This time they chose our JXLR 38m and JXLRZ 47m mounted on an Autocar Trucks chassis.

Thank you for the continued support and we look forward to building another one soon! #allianceconcretepumps

On behalf of everyone at Autocar, we would like to say, “Thank you” to Ed and Lillie Minshall for their donation of Autocar memorabilia to the Autocar Museum.

Ed is not only a member of the Autocar family, but is a lasting legacy of the Autocar brand’s rich history. Ed's parents met as Autocar employees, and along with his uncle and brother, all contributed to Autocar’s success over many years.

Ed’s donation of his family’s Autocar memorabilia collection will ensure that these artifacts are displayed publicly for others to enjoy. Thank you again to the Minshall family for this incredible gift.

Ex farm pick up tank?

Most likely.  That's dairy country.  Brenner tanks frequently serve a second life in fire departments in that area after many years of hauling milk.  Being stainless, they often outlive the original chassis.  My old FD up there (1982-1986) bought a 1971 International/Brenner 0/4000 from a raw milk transporter in 1982, adding baffles and dump and fill valves, racks for hard suctions, compartments below the tank on each side and replacing the dome with a flat cover so it would fit in the firehouse.  We repainted the cab and chassis and added lights and siren.  When done, we had $16,000 in the whole project.  Since than, it has been transferred to a 1992 Ford LTL and again to a 1998 Pete.  It's still in service.
