Autocar badge on the hood side and on top of the grille, but with a WhiteGMC badge on the lower part of the grille :think:

According to my Volvo trucks official history book from the late 1980s, this truck was launched by the new Volvo White company for the 1988 model year under the name "WhiteGMC Autocar". But the book doesn't say if that's the full brand, with an unmentioned model name, or if Autocar is the model name itself.

Here's a pic of the cover of a brochure, which doesn't give more clues.

And here's an old auction listing for a 1992 version, with a VIN.

Of course, I've run that VIN.

Manufacturer: Volvo Trucks North America
Make: Whitegmc
Model: ACL
Model Year: 1992
Plant Country: United States (USA)

Soooo... Maybe we can "cut the pear in two halves" and call it WhiteGMC as brand, with Autocar ACL as model ?
