Thats interesting. I didn't realize PACCAR was that involved with the automotive and trucking industry.

Buddy of mine hauls cars all over the north east from Maine to
new jersey Michigan and Canada. He just got a brand new
peterbuilt with a paccar engine. Something around 600 HP. He
loves it . Till he told me about the engine I had never heard
of them before.

I see some parallels here and to keep it tractor related... maybe somebody with more computer savvy can pull this together, but doesn't Peterbilt's roots trace back to the early Fageol tractor and the Great Western chain drive logging trucks on the west coast?
