Popular Post fifth wheel Posted March 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2014 Awhile back someone wanted information about this truck. I took this photo about 1989 at the Barrington NH show and what I remember is Yarworski's were either buying or selling it, will be corrected if wrong. I think it only had NH 220 power and not much $. Whoever was standing next to me took the same picture and it got in the WOT. The little girl is my daughter.

Joe Ditchkus Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Nice picture. When that KW was built in early 50'S ??? a 220 Cummins was a good sized engine. It looks like a 4" stack so most likely no turbo or 262 HP.Big rubber and gears made that truck. Do you know what model next to it is with one piece windshield ? Thanks Joe D.

j hancock Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 1948 KW 988 owner listed as Matt Flanagan, North Branford CT (or Madison). It was on display at the ATHS show in Marlborough, MA in 1991.Maybe still owns it?It is pretty big so it is hard to hide.The next door truck is a tuned up Mack NO. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Joe Ditchkus Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks Jim. It looked like L-Cab but what looked like single windshield and cab was a bit different I could not make it out.Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Unfortunately Matt Flanagan passed away a few years back. Had a lot of trucks in his collection and i would love to get my hands on the pictures he had of all his R700s and more taken up in Tilcons quarry. my dad told me about when he went to get the truck in Canada and i vaguely remember it sitting in his yard as i was young when he was still around. im surprised no one has pictures of his truck as there were all very sharp looking. Last i know everything that was in the yard was sold or scrapped. My dad is good friends with his step-son Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
