Home-Built 1923 Autocar Truck
 ✖  |
I used the running gear off an old 66-passenger bus to make this copy of a 1923 Autocar truck. It’s 22 ft. long and weighs 9,060 lbs., with an 8 by 12-ft. flatbed on back. The track is street legal and powered by a 366 cu. in. big block Chevy engine with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The rear wheels are off an old Redimix truck but the front wheels are original.
I’ve driven my Autocar truck in local parades. People really get a kick out of it. (Bill Swets, 4801 E. Harmony Rd., Fort Collins, Colo. 80528)
