SpreadAxle Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I want to clarify something. As I rebuild my autocar DC tractor, I'm trying to figure out, were the interior surfaces mostly metal and the same color as the body? Or were they upholstered? :? I originally left the interior walls black and painted in a flat white"headliner". I know the dash was woodgrain. I haven't seen an Autocar in years, up close anyway. If you have info on DC and A64B interiors that would be great. Anyone with a color pic willing to share that would be appreciated. looked on Hank's website. hard to find interior shots of the 70s A-cars. i think they were metal surfaces on the walls(no upholstery) that were the same color on as the outside of the cab, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm getting ready to paint the cab later in the week. I'm sanding/priming right now. thanks for your help. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Thank you both. This confirms the painted metal surfaces, although I see a wood headliner. I like that. Thank you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpreadAxle Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 Again, thanks so much. I wonder if the brown was the only color available in this upholstered version. either way, i think I will download the pix. If anyone has anymore good interior shots, even in black and white, that would be great. i can't wait to finish my cab, especially now that I can see some of the other details including the underhood shots.

SpreadAxle Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 That's not wood, that's vinyl/leather. OK. I downloaded the whole brochure. Lots of detail shots in there. This time I was smart enough to enlarge the pix. thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
