Autocar » A series, F models with fiberglass hood
(1971 - 1980)
In 1971, the A series F models got a new fiberglass hood instead of steel bonnet and wings, which could be ordered optionally. The wings were bolted to it, so they could be quickly replaced if damaged. Dual round headlights were integrated in the wings. Designers also improved the frame of the truck, giving it even greater strength.
The lineup still consists of two models: the 2-axle A42F (GCW of 35000 lbs) and 3-axle A64F (GCW of 46000 lbs). Both were equipped with diesel engines with a capacity from 220 to 400 hp. Wheelbase of A42F ranged from 163 to 189 in, and A64F - from 175 to 235 in.
