Kenworth model 580 prototype model built in 1943. Kenworth already had a contract for the M1 and M1A1 (model 570 through 573) 10 ton wreckers for the Army, but the Army wanted something bigger, and armoured. Kenworth obliged with 2 x 580 prototypes, one armoured, and the softskin model pictured above. These trucks both used the Hercules 855 c.i. 202 hp water cooled straight six.
