    This month’s “Out of the Archives with Bette Garber” features a 1980 Kenworth K100 “cabin over” that was owned and operated by Dave Sweetman for Horseless Carriage.  Powered by a 400 Cummins Big Cam III hooked to a 15-speed, Dave used this truck to haul specialty vehicles until 1988, when he traded it in for a new T600 Kenworth.  At that time, it had 1.2 million miles on the odometer.  The picture was taken by Bette Garber, along with many others, for a cover feature in the April 1986 edition of American Trucker Magazine – that was 40 years ago this month!
