That is the White Freightliner “Powerliner”. Made for the larger engines. The KT Cummins was common. From the KT-450, KTA -525, to the KTA-600. I drove a brand new one from a truck show in Calgary back to the dealership, probably 1975.

I have been driving trucks for 45 years and manufactures still can not make trucks for the conditions we drive in. Defrosters can’t keep the top half of the window clear, the headlights ice over. Surely one manufacturer could make a truck for Canadian winters!!

My biggest complaint on engineering of heavy trucks in my 45 years of driving. They are not engineered for the extreme conditions we operate them in. Surely one manufacturer would have a severe weather package: heated wipers, washers and wipers on lights and mirrors

Just to show how old school I am, when I got the Alberta class one license (CDL) in the mid 70’s, you had to prove you could operate a two stick transmission (5x4 or 5x3 or 4x4) as about half the heavy trucks had 2 sticks.
