Thanks for the warm welcome- a bit more cheery some of the other boards I have signed on!
C70D is their designation for dump truck. T would be for road tractor. Autocar had many suffix letters I have yet to find anyone that can decipher all. I have looked at some pics of military trucks here and it seems the the EUC model
( engine under cab) use the same conventional cab as on the regular truck chassis.
Autocar had 3 of their own engines, L head 358, 447 and 501 cid. and also put in Cummins HRB. Later '50s had White motors and Hercules.
My major concern with my truck is the engine is seized, for now I have it freed up a little, it will come apart later, OK.
The other part of the story is finding conrod and main bearings. There aren't many 501 cid gas engines around. The parts supply is very weak. The Hercules RXC engine is almost identical. This just makes the victory all the more sweet when done!
Thanks :-)
