SW, Ohio. This is a truck that Joe was using regularly until he broke the crank. He's pulled the motor and has put the transmission in another rig, but hopes to have it back on the road when cash allows.
From Wikipedia: "In 1967 White Trucks started the Western Star division as White Western Star with a new plant at Kelowna, British Columbia, sharing headquarters with White in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1980, White was insolvent." . . . " Volvo AB acquired the U.S. assets of the company, while two energy-related companies based in Calgary, Alberta, Bow Valley Resource Services and Nova, an Alberta Corp., purchased the Canadian assets, including the Kelowna, British Columbia, plant, and the Western Star nameplate and product range. In 1990 Western Star Trucks was purchased by Australian businessman Terry Peabody, who turned around the company's fortunes over the next 10 years, and in 2000 the company was purchased by the Daimler AG North American truck division, Freightliner. All Western Star trucks are manufactured in the Portland, Oregon Portland Truck Plant."
I don't know the year or model and would appreciate it if anyone can tell me.
