DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 With the re-release of the AMT A64B Autocar, I thought that I would post a few reference pictures of one the I saw this week. There are more on my Flickr page if you just click on one of the photos.

I had never heard of an N927 Cummins. This one has aluminum frame rails as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I didn't notice that. Can't say as I've heard of an N927 either. So with aluminum frame rails I've guessing that this wasn't spec'd out as a vocational truck. Apparently (after some research), the Cummins N927 as called the Super 250. Basically, it's a NH250 Cummins 250 with a 927 cid instead of the 855 cid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I get is a message stating that the Flicker line cannot found. Flickr started charging for accounts with over 1000 pictures so I had to delete some. I'll re-post them here.

plastic trucker Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 IIRC it was used to unload dry bulk tankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 They sure don’t build them like that anymore!! Beautiful rig!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Very cool, I never knew that they used Aluminum for the frames. Seems like that would be expensive and lead to problems in salty areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
