Guest Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 My brother just bought a 1960 DC75T Autocar tractor, and since i will be wrechin on this thing for him i figure I'll have some sort of rights to it. anyways, here she is! You'll have the right to use it for reference when you build a model of it! Seriously, very nice truck. It's always good to see an old girl find a new home.

Petetrucker07 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It would be a cool setup if he could find a flatbed around same year. Use it for parades. Looks like a nice truck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ill get some more pics later today, my bros washin it now. The trans is original, i didnt understand the seller at first. Someone either added a fifth wheel or made this one adjustable, but we're gonna remedy that. Other than that everyhing is there minus some interior panels, but its not that big of a deal. The engine is an neh-195 cummins which sounds great! Trans is a ten speed woth an id code R8960, i believe its an eaton trans but im not sure yet.

I drove home a '79 Pete Coe a week ago and I know exactly what your talking about. Power steering and air bag suspensions are so overrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
