The Autocar Model U8144T, officially "5- to 6-Ton, 4×4, Ponton Tractor Truck", (supply catalog number G511) was the largest, and most heavy-duty, of a family of heavy four-wheel drive trucks developed for, and deployed primarily with, the United States Army in World War II. They were of a "cab over engine" design, and produced by the Autocar Company from 1941 to 1945 with 2,711 being built. The U8144 had a similar chassis, with van bodies by York-Hoover—607 were built for use of the SCR-270 early warning radar system by the U.S. Signal Corps. As part of the same family, over 11,000 of the U7144-T, and some 2,750 of the virtually identical White 444T were built to serve as tractor trucks to haul semi-trailers, ranging from flatbed to communications vans.
