My 1996 Kenworth I bought this truck when I was 13 years old. My family has been in the trucking industry since the 50s. My grandfather passed away left me $20,000 and that’s where it started for me. When I purchased this truck it had a aerodyne one sleeper on it I then made it a day cab. Over this past winter we big holed it and put a 42in flat top on it. Truck is powered by a 550 5ek Cat, 18 speed and 3.55 rears
