Paccar! Last time I checked Bellevue WA was still in the USA.oke::lolly:

I said owned, Paccar is owned by the Russian's, IHC is the only american owned truck left.

 

[Valair1]

I also have been to the plant in china that makes alot of the parts for Paccar,Freightliner,Volvo and IHC. Phllips lighting is also made in that plant. It was a 2M square ft. facility.

so reality is they are built here, with chineese parts lol

I cant find anything, only thing I saw was talk about them selling off part of the company in 99 that made parts.

Same here, they do have a Russian DAF dealership if your ever in that area and are in the market.......:Cheer:

looks like it is now owned mostly by JP Morgan bank, and thats old english money. I know that when I worked for Kenworth in the late 80's that is what we were told. I think the stock is PCAR.

 

[Mr.T]

Our fleet except for my truck

My boss's 09 W900

 

[6.4 F-350]

Nice rides.

 

[BRE]

Our new ride! Just arrived today.

 

[dirtflinger92]

Yeah, there wasn't a way to get any decent side shots of it.

My dream truck I want to find one to restore completely one day..

 

[SmokinCAT]

On the trip home.

 

[lorendiesel5.9]

What's your thoughts on a 98 Freightliner FLD112 with a C12? Its my gpa's truck and he's retiring and wants to sell it. He spec'd it with aluminum frame rails and differentials. Any yea or nay suggestions?

 

[6.4 F-350]

I would say nay, I have had 2 O/O that have had C 12's just about break them. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Mr.T]

You'll never get any kind of pulling power out of a C-12

 

[6.4 F-350]

You'll never get any kind of pulling power out of a C-12

I think durability is a bigger issue than power. IMHO.

 

[lorendiesel5.9]

I'm not really looking for a powerhouse. More just something to keep around for a backup truck and it does have some sentimental value

 

[DEZLFREK]

plan on doing a repower with a c15 some day then it would have alot more than sentimental value..
