G’day Andy mate,
I was going through my Kenworth pics and I found this one taken at Truckfest South West 1990. I’m pretty sur it’s a T600,a bit unusual being a single screw.

What sort of work did it do,do you know mate?

hi jamie,
thanks for the picture mate.chase commercials sold many american trucks over the years.don’t know what happened to this one?it’s a bit distinctive :smiley: ,so if any other members saw it during the early 90’s they would remember :smiley: ,perhaps it went to the circus or showland?
regards andrew

I believe Chase commercials are still going having evolved into Georgia trucks [ connects to name on the KW’s bonnet]

Anorak time… if you look above the silver Steyr cab to the right of the Kenworth in first picture you can see the black light bar flyer of a tow truck behind it, this I’m guessing would be Wall’s Freightliner which was supplied as a tractor unit by Chase commercials.
