Title: Another rough one
Post by: Uncle Allen on April 29, 2016, 01:48:09 PM

Here's my Halftrack I got about 10 years ago.  The serial number on the left front frame rail behind the tire says, M2-6632.  I was told it was made by Autocar.  Is this correct?  Does that number tell anything else? 

Its been sitting outside for probably 40+ years and had a Bantam crane mounted on the back.  I hadn't looked at it for awhile and after taking these pictures and looking at it again realized it's pretty rough.  The frame is solid and the engine and drivetrain is intact.  I have a lot of irons in the fire so maybe I would be better off parting this one out and finding a better candidate!   Not sure yet.

The one I started with looked exactly like that, bought a second that looked the same and a 3rd that had a better dash but worse frame. Lots of good parts there but you will better off paying up for a better machine to restore, I wish I had but will get it done....someday.

Yes it is an Autocar for sure per the frame serial number.

I take it that with the M2 at the beginning of the serial number, this is an M2 model halftrack?
