ITEM 2    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     (a)  Effective November 15, 1996 PACCAR Inc purchased all outstanding
          shares of DAF Trucks, N.V. (DAF), a Netherlands corporation. DAF is a
          vertically-integrated truck manufacturer, producing its own engines
          and axles. Its primary products are cab-over-engine trucks. DAF has
          factories in the Netherlands and Belgium, and it is the exclusive
          distributor in Europe for medium-duty trucks manufactured by Leyland
          in the United Kingdom.

          The transaction was denominated in Dutch Guilders (NLG). PACCAR Inc
          paid NLG 900 million for all outstanding shares of DAF. As a
          precondition to the purchase, DAF was required to repurchase a 25%
          minority interest in a Belgium subsidiary, DAF Trucks Vlaanderen N.V.,
          for NLG 33 million. Sources of the funds used for payment consisted of
          NLG 300 million from PACCAR Inc cash reserves with the remaining
          balance borrowed under terms of two Dutch Guilder notes of NLG 300
          million each. One note is with Bank of America NW, N.A. DBA Seafirst
          Bank.  The other note is with ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

     (b)  The acquired assets were used in the development, production,
          marketing, sale and after-sale service of medium and heavy
          commercial trucks. In addition the acquired assets were used to supply
          components, such as axles, engines and cabs, to third parties for use
          in the manufacture of buses and coaches, special vehicles, earth-
          moving machinery, generator and other heavy industrial machinery.
          PACCAR Inc intends to continue to use the assets in the businesses as
          described.
