When I worked at Southwest Kenworth Inc. in Tucson AZ back in the early 80's a giant one came in there to have a clutch replaced. It had a 13 speed in it and I think a Cummins diesel but I don't remember for sure. I didn't work on it but saw it in the shop. I should have taken more pictures during my wasted youth...
