My uncle ran dump truck since the early to mid 60’s here in southwestern Ontario canada and I used to ride with him when I was about 9 years old. I loved riding with him in the dump truck. His trucks always looked like it came from the dealership during the work week. He would constantly cleaning it throughout the day when he got a free moment. He really took pride in his equipment. I rode with him every chance I got and I would work on weekends with him cleaning and maintaining the truck. I earned 25 cents an hour. I was a god in school. I always had money and the good candies. lol!! From a 9 year old kid to a grown man I loved hearing every story he told me. I remember them like he just told me. He retired in 2000. His diabetes and knees and hips were really bad by then. Getting in that cab over and over day in and out all took a toll on him. It wasn’t t until he passed a few years ago I was told about the pain he was in. He was a proud and tough man. He would do paving during the warmer weather and while all the guys on the road crew were collecting pogie and drinking it all away he would send out tenders to salt and sand the highways here. He had well over 3 million miles from driving.

Thank you so much for sharing his story, this meant a lot to me, we have a lot in common.

Lived in Hanover, Mass from 1954-81. Watched Autocar and Mack trucks build the road bed for what is now Route 3 to the Cape. During the Winter of 1978 those same trucks were the ones that cleared that same road during the Blizzard of 78' and rescued many people stuck in the snow. Cold, hot and primitive and a "bear" to drive. Once these "babies" got warmed up you never saw a driver with a window closed because of the heat coming off the engine bay. There was little heat protection with those thin firewalls. Regardless of how primitive they were they got the job done. Thanks for bringing back so many fond memories of me and my brother hanging out each day watching the road to the Cape being built. I am envious of the fun I am sure someone will have returning this Autocar back to their previous glory. All the best and thanks so much for your hard work videoing and editing. Has to be tough after a full day at work. All the best in 2022 and keep that beautiful KW shining.

I was a fleet mechanic waaaay back in the 1970s at the Texaco terminal in Chelsea back when the oil companies still had their own fleets. We had a 1967 A-car with a 250 Cummins and no power steering. What a beast that thing was. This video brings back some memories. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year. Respect for the obvious pride you take in the equipment.

[@brucehodges7889]

Thanks for the lowboy lesson! We rented one of them once from Hale. Someone else brought it to our yard...first time I hooked to it I had NO CLUE how to operate it (actually I might not even have got hooked to it) It had a pony motor (I didn't have a wet line) Somebody had to school me on how to make everything work... We were on a job down in Providence once. Flett had a truck like that sitting on the site. It was in our way, but they weren't on site. The key was in it, our foreman asked me to move it so I did...but don't tell anybody😉

What a treat it is to see him return with another gem, this great Autocar. Thanks so much, Mike.

Hi Michael Lenny from Connecticut checking in. There was an icon of a concrete and construction company in NYC going back as far as the early 1900,s called Colonial Sand & Stone. The family name was the Pope family. The father was an Italian immigrant. The company he gave birth to built NYC and all of the Hi Rise, Office buildings and road projects in and around the surrounding areas. They had a fleet second to known. They even built there own trucks. If I said they had over 250 mixes and dumpers mostly mixers it wouldn’t be off by much. They had a massive shop which took up an entire city block in LIC, N.Y. There they fabricated, welded, painted and serviced all of there equipment, they did everything you could do on a piece of equipment. There mixers were so big and heavy they use to bend and buckle the NYC sewer caps which were 6 inch thick solid steel. The city used to complain all of the time. This was before over weight permits I believe.. My point in all of this is there AUTOCARS were something to see. Look them up and I know you and your followers would enjoy. As far as appearance they were a leader with there image. There trucks were clean simple and strong. There colors were an olive green with red mixed in and red rims and wheels. The tire size was 1200:24. They would put the truck # up on the left side front of the mixers water tank. A picture would show you what I mean. Michael I have many stories about trucks and memories. I hold them near and dear to me. My purpose of this was to say something about the beautiful AUTOCAR TRUCKS. A true work horse alongside of a MACK. Mack’s, Brockways and Autocars did it for me but the Autocars had a look and style that was beautiful and intimidating. An Autocar can kick ass as good as any Mack or Brockway. I always loved the look of there front fenders that were squared off. They made a round fender also on a certain model but the squared off style was it for me. I believe most of there models had the squared off style. Hats off to an American Icon.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

This is really interesting! I'm going to have to see if I can find some photos of them. Thank you 😊

[@stevenhamilton7214]

Nice video Mike. The Autocar DC103's was also known as the "New England Special". The DC103 was set up with heavy specs and a lower hood, Autocar's answer to the Mack B81. Tony was right about the 70's in saying the B81, B61 series along with the Autocar and 230 Internationals were the trucks that built Boston.

In many ways the state is the reason so much old iron exists around here. Worth it to keep these trucks on the road earning (and very good money too) than letting it rust somewhere. During snow storms you see so much old iron on the roads sometimes it's like a traveling truck show.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I totally agree 💯

[@colincostine9775]

For years I have been looking for one of those A-Cars. The company that I was working for in 1967 had bought three new ones together. They had quad boxes. In the sixties Peterbilt had a development program underway planning a new model to go after more of the rough service market. The temporary code name for the truck was " Autocar Killer". Thanks for the video, very interesting. I will be looking for more on the A-car.

A suggestion brother. I see your into cleanliness as I am. If you want to minimize the mess at your feet, try using an old towel. Fold it so it fits neatly at your feet over the mat. It’ll absorb the muck and water. Makes cleaning up easier. Happy trucking. By the way. I love the equipment and how it’s kept. Your bringing back memories. Bravo my Italian friends.

Hi Mike! You're doing it again! You and Tony brought fond memories to mind in this video. First of all that Autocar is very similar to one my uncle Leon from Billerica had. His had a 220 Cummins with 5+3 transmissions. When I was 14 Uncle Leon hired me to help him screen loam during summer vacations and when I was 17 I started making deliveries for him. Indeed it was slow, but it got the job done. Tony mentioned that along with B-81s and Autocars, International 230s were commonly seen on job sites in and around Boston. My uncle Frank from Burlington at one time had 3 International 230s that I also drove from time to time. ❤️

I messaged the lady on that truck when she first posted it. Was rather surprised when it went back up after supposedly selling in the first 12 hours.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I have no idea about that but trucks like these I imagine don't stay in the market very long.

Sweet old truck! I've always liked the looks of autocars. Great video! Hope to see many more on this gem.

Drove one very similar for Earl Drew in Athol,350 Cummins 13 o/d,awesome truck

Very cool!

[@oldrustycars]

Your channel almost makes me miss trucking. The dirt work guys I drove for would yell if I brought my camera just to take photos. Get yelled at for washing the truck, except by one employer who felt I should wash and grease the tractor and trailer on my own time.

It takes all kinds in this business.
