What a great post with lots of great info! Our shop lift is an old 8,000 # capacity AC, diesel D262, wet clutch. Love to hear that old girl run!
Being an old Clark guy dating back to the early 80's- and then watching the GPS/GCS arrive, I was more than ever convinced that the old C500/355/685 series had been the finest truck ever built. But I gotta admit- over the last several years I have seen features such as hydrostatic steering and lift cylinder types on old AC machines that seemed years ahead of the competition. There are still quite a few old AC trucks in the Baton Rouge area. Apparently there was a very strong dealer here prior to the saturation by Clark in the 70/80's!
