Sergey Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Hello colleagues. My friend wants to build Autocar DC-7366. He needs some chassis information. Does anyone have pictures of chassis or running gear? I guess he will make one of the best model of this truck. But he need a help. There are some of his works: http://photo.qip.ru/users/svarilka/albums/genres/hobbi/
ap40rocktruck Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Well between the adverts & the photos, it tells you that the engine is a Cat 3306, Fuller transmission, Rockwell transfer case, Hendrickson walking beam rear suspension. The front axle appears to be a 18K Marmon-Harrington, but any US type could be substituted. The frame rails are most likely a standard Autocar 10" channel rail. you have a side view drawing with dimensions. 20" super single tires all around on the original. The wrecker version, newer fatter radial types. Ap40
Sergey Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Richard!Thank you very much!I understand that the subject is uncommon, but may be anybody somewhere have photos of the chassis of this monster? Pictures could be very usefull in scratchbuilding.Regards, Sergey
37 caddy Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Try over at Hanks Truck Pictures,maybe post a request for pictures there,a lot of the guys there are good for that type of thing. Harvey
chris02719 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I have an autocar book somewhere, not sure if it has anything that would help you out, but it may be worth looking into. It's one of those photographic history books. You might also try the american truck historical society. You might also try getting the number from the truck you posted the picture of and contacting them, its a long shot, but cant hurt.
mistermodel Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) plaskit has transfer case,and wheels and tires like the ones shown.I bought 1 front drive set,1 none drive front,and 2 sets of super single rear drives from him. they are nice Edited September 30, 2013 by mistermodel
Sergey Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Happy New Year to all!Here is what Oleg Malakhov have done so far:http://photo.qip.ru/users/svarilka/200689386/Still no one have photos of DC-7366?
disabled modeler Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 That is nice!...Id be happy to find the tires/wheels...LOL... Very cool project!
Fabrux Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Man, that is one ugly duck. Looks like a twin-steer missing the front axle; what would be the purpose of such a configuration? Either way, some beautiful work!
