It’s amazing what you can find if you look closely at fields as you drive. I found this truck in the city of Greer as I was driving in from North Carolina to visit family. I don’t know a lot about the history of this truck or Barnhill Motor Express. I did find an ad in the paper for the company going back to June of 1946 (here’s the link). I also found a court summons allowing the company to operate in the County of Richland in 1973 (here’s that link). There were a few more public records but I didn’t dig too deep. It would be an interesting story to know the history of Barnhill and how this truck ended up in this field.
I think you’re right. Checkout this page (near the bottom): http://www.waykool.com/autocar/1937.htm, I think it may be a 1952 DCS 10064TN-220-52 Autocar Diesel Cummins 220 engine. I’m going to see if I can get a confirmation on that.

I thinks that’s probably postwar, not Forties.
