Always Up - Autocar Trucks

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?

Wayne Jansson from Oz says " Come on guys, this is an Autocar".

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.

Our July centerfold - er - truck of the month is this beach babe from Clearwater, Florida, soaking up that amazing sunset across the Gulf of Mexico. Time for a mojito. 🌴🍸 #Paradise #AwesomeAutocar

Let's go play in the mud - be sure to bring your Autocar. 😎 JW Shaffer sent in this shot of his 1987 Autocar DK gettin' it done and bankin' some coin too. Have fun, JW. #AlwaysUp #AutocarTrucks

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. Athens Services driver, Benjamin Marcial Gil, snapped this shot at their Sun Valley, CA MRF.

My late friend Wayne's 1976 Autocar

[mrsmackpaul 1,925]

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

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. Thanks for sharing, Rick.

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

Those are wide cabs.

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.

Have you heard every Autocar truck is custom-engineered? True now, true when this one-of-a-kind 1958 DC-105 was built for Gilbane Building Co. in Rhode Island. Now, who can tell us about that badass shovel?

Northwest Model 6 or could be a Model 81.

my guess would be an 80-d

[TS7 148]

I think you could be right on the 80-d, I have never seen one, but photos only.

An Autocar hard at work.

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.

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.”

Fleet News Daily reports sales of natural gas powered trucks are up 43% so far this year. Yep, we know.

We found it: The source of the term "#badass". It's this #wicked #AutocarDC used by Dorrance Excavating in Norton, Massachusetts, to move their heavy equipment. And, if you check out http://dailydieseldose.com/autocar-mondays-dorrace-recycling/ you'll see more pics of this truck, thanks to our friend and master photographer Ryan Pedone.
