Really didn't set the site up for viewers to post pictures. I've got drivers that work for me that take vacation shots of mixers in there travels and I'll scan the photos and try to use them. Alot of times they're far off shots or have windshield glare on them from their car. Anyhow, I always like to correspond with drivers. I still drive 'em too. -Tripp Send as an attachment to allreadymix@yahoo.com. Really didn’t set the site up for viewers to post pictures.

John Scarpulla photo by Thomas Duckett http://www.allreadymix.com/?p=1352&cpage=1#comment-991 Thomas Duckett Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:30:33 +0000 http://www.allreadymix.com/?p=1352#comment-991 I was amazed to find your pictures of this truck. I was a mechanic for Certified in the early 70's and worked on this particular truck. These were 1963 Autocars with Rex 15 yard barrels with pony motors. I also worked on the Crain Carrier # 1303. Certified also had some 12 yd. Smith barrel trucks. Some 1962 Macks with 8 yd. Rex barrels I worked in Hicksville, Harlem and Newtown Creek. I have been looking for a photo of the 15 yd. Autocar for many years. I was amazed to find your pictures of this truck. I was a mechanic for Certified in the early 70’s and worked on this particular truck.

Everything was bent, broken or twisted, even the "Autocar" emblem on the hood. Went to Japan as 37000 lbs of scrap and probably came back as 50 Toyotas. Kind of sad end to a great truck.
