Well... As one of the few Kenworth historians in Australia... I've just had a look in the "bible" but there are quite a few chassis numbers around this time in the list that have no info against them... And this is one of them... Only way to go is take the chassis number to your local KW dealer where they can pull up the chassis build sheet cover page with its details.

Still looking for an old Kenworth that the family brought new years ago!
Last owner was Brian Copley - does anyone have contact with him that could ask if he knows it's where abouts?
Cheers
