Texas Country Reporter on Wichita Trucks

"The sun never sets on a Wichita Truck," is the old saying for the company. These trucks were all over the world, but trying to track one down is VERY hard to do nowadays. For several decades, The Texas Country Reporter has tracked down unique pieces of Texas history and recently they did a segment on a man named John Chadwell that had a Wichita Truck, but also I discovered the first truck is currently sitting in the old manufacturing building.

Old Wichita Truck Factory

Located at 3300 Arthur Street is the Wichita Energy Company, where back in the day was where the Wichita Trucks were built. Nowadays, no trucks are being built, but the first ever truck and probably best looking Wichita Truck still resides.

The First Wichita Truck Ever Produced

If you try to find a Wichita Truck nowadays, it will most likely be rusted after sitting in the sun for close to 100 years. This one has been sitting in the original factory since the day it was produced. Crazy to think at one point in time, Wichita Falls had one of the best trucks in America.
