I'm just guessing at this guys , I've seen pictures of them but don't recall ever seeing one live . I'd say early to mid '60's . Styled similar to the Emeryville or CO4000 but with a real short cab and a lot of glass . Mostly tractors I think , diesel and maybe with a big gas like 549 V8 maybe . I think they had windows in the lower door panels for better visibility . Does the name Sightliner mean anything ? IH had a model by that name once , don't know for sure . Like I said I'm basically guessing , I thought I has some old literature on them but I don't . The "A" models in smaller trucks were in late 1950's maybe this is a carry over from that vintage larger trucks .They also had the Emeryville series around then , maybe the ACO was an offspring of it , in a little lighter duty version . If I find more I will put it on here , Jim
