Military truck trivia.

Kenworth built the T10, incorporated with Atomic Annie M65 gun. Built in the early 50's with a gas powered
unit on each end, it could move sideways. Stationed in various places around the globe from 55 to 62.

Odd thing to note-but the first few 900's and 1000 models used frame rails from PacCar.
Farmer here has two 900's his dad bought new one with Cummins the other 6-71 Detroit.
Both don't have but 150,000 miles on them, Both in good condition and has no plans
to replace them. Ten wheelers, he likes driving them.
