That is an awesome truck! I love rotators! Does it have an X15?

When it comes to these late ones, yeah Kenworth has it's many issues. Trying to live
off the past.

Yeah, in order to make it profitable a population base of minimum one million with a minimum
of four major freeways to keep it running around the clock with 2.5 drivers in 24 hours. The
overhead of operating that is silly. Could own 3 used 50 ton units cost less initially with way less
overhead, as hook insurance coverage. A truck like that can't set for 24 hours, that's so many
used for sale.

I'm curious what KW has planned to replace the C500. There's still a market for it out this way. I don't see the T880 being up to the task of rig moving in the patch. Do they even offer the T880 as a twin steer?

To be honest--I don't what they offer in that department, but I can't see them removing the 500
from the lineup.

Only two options, X15 or Paccar engine. That one is X15 with Allison.

Why where the 380 cummins for export only?

Could have been any number of reason dealing with export controls including emissions
even back then.

Anybody know off hand how thick the plywood floor is supposed to be on the steel A-cab? Been almost a decade since I threw the old rotten floor out. I'm measuring about 5/8" along the sills so I'm assuming that's correct. I can't see the floor being higher than the sill.

Did they use many C16 in trucks?
