Bought some parts from a monster GMC truck today. Model ACRF not sure about the F SN# 430 Rated 126 hp @2400 rpm. Year 41 -42? Max GVW 27,500 Max GVW combined 40,000. Big 6 everything was on the opposite side of where one normally sees it. The tranny was enormous as big as a normal 6 cylinder engine. What size engine is in this truck? What type of transmission is being used? It was a GMC with a General fire truck body.

Hy Lockland41, there should be some numbers after the letters,which would help identify what you are looking at. Just using engine horsepower as an identifier, I would guess it is a 360 c.i.d., that engine was used in the AC 700 series. The "F" may designate a fire truck chassis, hope that helps.

GMC made up to a 500 something c.i. 6 cylinder gas engine. They also had 4 and 6-71 diesels.

I love those AC models. I either want my next truck to be an AC model or cannonball with a 6-71... Oohhh yeaahhh! Now youve got me drooling on the key board. And by the way, why dont I see pics????

The A indicates 39 and up. The C indicates conventional cab. R indicates Tractor. My book only shows R and W as being the fourth letter, so Im not completly sure what it is. Being that its a Tractor model, its a 520 series or bigger with a 308 6 cyl and a Clark transmission as being the stock drivetrain.

You better get some pics next time!

Jeff,
Sorry I didn't take pictures. I think the fellow is going to lay the balance of this beast to rest. The Chinese have a strong taste for scrap metal. Sad. It was one big heavy truck.
