Alexander ◊ 2008-03-16 02:51	I would say it is a Peterbilt.
Dwayne ◊ 2008-03-16 03:31	Kenworth K100
Alexander ◊ 2008-03-16 10:58	Are you sure? The shape of the wheel arch looks more like Peterbilt 352 to me. Pete: Ken:
Dwayne ◊ 2008-03-16 14:53	Thats a newer K100 in your picture. I assure you this is a K100 note the grill..
K-Whopper ◊ 2009-09-25 08:39	That's a lovely K100 VIT Alexander! The truck in question is an approx mid 60's Kenworth K100
rorschach ◊ 2010-01-17 22:29	Continental Truck and Towing #44, photo circa 1987. Continental Towing's Tex Freeman built these super heavy duty wreckers in-house in the late 50's and early 60's. At the time, these were the strongest, most powerful wreckers on the West Coast. For a while Continental had a few commercially available Holmes wreckers, but they broke every single one of them. In L.A. in the 60's and 70's, Continental was the last word when it came to heavy duty crash work. Their cabover crash trucks were equipped with Cummins engines, with 5-speed main and 4-speed Brownie transmissions, 3-stage booms, twin 100,000 lb. Garwood winches with 1000 feet of 1 1/2" cable. NO hydraulics, all mechanically operated with chains, sprockets and cables. Theres a few of them still around today, a testament to their construction. -- Last edit: 2010-01-18 14:15:14 (antp)
Airhorn ◊ 2019-11-07 17:17	This is indeed a Kenworth but not a K100. This one is a '59-'64 K500 series, note the full cab skirt behind the front wheel. The K100 eliminated the skirt when it debuted in 1965. Check out the 1960 model in the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEjcd5D89pU -- Last edit: 2019-11-07 17:26:15
Jale ◊ 2019-11-07 18:01	Apparently it's the same truck as in the Ep. 3.09. They could be merged, I think.
