12 cyl. Detroit Diesel 430hp with twin straight pipes

[VTJUNK]

This is a '68 Kenworth. Very heavy duty. Very awesome. I guess you could say this was the ratrod of the truck show. The owner uses it for truck pulls, and will restore it someday. For now it reminds me of something out of a Stephen King movie.

Neat old K-dub, dig the heavy-haul specs.

I'd imagine that has Armstrong steering...better than the old air-assist crap.


the "buzzin' Dozen" is cool and all. but I like the old 8-71 and 8v92's myself, as far as the old Double-breasted Yamaha motors went.

Caterpillars are all well and good(the twin-turbo Acert in my 379 does a decent job), but give me an old 855 Cummins(Big Cam, 400 specs) with a HOT pump and a 13-double over.....as long as it has a pyrometer, it'll live a LONG time.

Never really got into trucks...but that thing is cool.

I would love an old rig like that to tow the Hot Rods..

The perfect truck to star in a remake of "Duel". Or, at least use it's engine as a sound effect.

Bad ass.

I must be a prima donna truck driver. Nothing about that appeals to me. That would kill you if you had to drive it to Florida.
