Prior to 1970, Autocar always listed the BBC length for their trucks in the model name. A good example would be the Autocar in "Over the Top," confirmed by it's owner to be a 1965 which explains why it's called an Autocar A-10264. Any truck made in 1970 or after had the BBC eliminated from the name, and thus just had the series name followed by the drive type. So, an Autocar A64B, Autocar DC42, etc. This truck was obviously made before 1970, and the BBC length on A64B models was much shorter because of its set-back front axle. Any Autocar A64B made with the 1969 model year or older is called an Autocar A-75. Of course, the drive is included in the model name, so models available include the Autocar A-7542, Autocar A-7564, and possibly the Autocar A-7562. Although I'm not 100% sure if the latter even exists. Best of yet, this isn't even an A-75. This truck has a set forward front axle which increases the BBC length by about 30 inches. Meaning it's most likely an Autocar A-102. It's also got a 4x2 drive, which helps finish off the model designation. They made this design for quite a while, so I don't think the year should be included, but the earliest it could be is 1954. -> Autocar A-10242 Edit: Exact same truck listed right here: /vehicle_352162-Autocar-A64-1957.html -- Last edit: 2023-10-03 17:46:50
QueenMDX ◊ 2023-11-11 00:35	That's totally fine, Bray7. No worries on that, of course. I have to thoroughly agree with her being an Autocar A-10242 also as an A-10242 that appears in "Hollywood or Bust" corroborates that: /vehicle_570577-Autocar-A-10242.html
