Wow, now that's a nice truck! Really like the wheels and paint, and that it an Autocar. Saw many similar trucks running in eastern Kentucky coal fields over the last 30 years. Great build!

thanks Ken.. I like autocars too...

well Autocar got its first load today by a excavator.. thought I would use my machine.. but man I really got the scale wrong lol
here is a video and couple pics

[RCP57]

Hahaha That's awesome Jason! I wondered if you would actually do it... worked out great. We drove by the site today and I said to the fiance that we should have stopped by and got in your way. If we did that would have been cool to see. Now that you bounced some rocks off of it I won't be so nervous to load it either!

Good job!

[steamer]

Way to go Jason!! that's got to be a first. Some delicate hands there on the sticks..Bring it up to Campbell River and Greg and Lou will smack the sides a bit.

[Exile Trucking]

That was very cool, and I'm sure nerve racking. But I think we need to build something a little more scale to load your truck.
Good job

[dirthalr]

That video was cool! Nice truck

Yeah Jason, Hurry up and buy that Bruder excavator...

[TRUCKMAKER]

Nice video! Well done! But I agree it's time to fix the scale issue. So how long do you think it will take to refurbish a 1:1 old school Autocar? LOL

[smart racer]

now that's cool and funny...does Johnny know he has a new dump working for him?...lol
