PROXY STATEMENT
---------------
The Board of Directors of PACCAR Inc issues this proxy statement to solicit
proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 27, 1999 at the
Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington. This proxy statement includes
information about the business matters that will be voted upon at the meeting.
The proxy statement and proxy form were first sent to stockholders on or about
March 17, 1999.
GENERAL INFORMATION
VOTING RIGHTS
Stockholders eligible to vote at the meeting are those identified as owners
at the close of business on the record date of March 5, 1999. Each outstanding
share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all items presented at the
meeting. At the close of business on March 5, 1999 the Company had outstanding
78,145,449 shares of common stock.
Stockholders may vote in person at the meeting or by proxy. Execution of a
proxy does not affect the right of a stockholder to attend the meeting. THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE BY PROMPTLY
COMPLETING AND RETURNING THE PROXY FORM EITHER BY MAIL, TELEPHONE OR THE
INTERNET.
VOTING BY PROXY
Mark C. Pigott and Gerald Grinstein are designated proxy holders to vote
shares on behalf of stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting. The proxy holders
are authorized to:
- vote shares as instructed by the stockholders who have properly completed
and returned the proxy form.
- vote shares as recommended by the Board when stockholders have executed
and returned the proxy, but have given no instructions.
- vote shares at their discretion on any matter not identified in the proxy
statement that is properly presented at the Annual Meeting.
Members of the PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan
The trustee for the PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan votes shares held in
the Plan according to each member's instructions on the proxy form. If the proxy
form is not returned or is returned without voting instructions, the trustee
will vote the shares in direct proportion to the voted shares of all other
Savings Investment Plan members, as provided for in the Plan.
PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES
The Proxy Form allows registered stockholders to vote in one of three ways:
By Mail. Stockholders may mark, sign, date and return their proxy form in
the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.
By Telephone. Stockholders may call the toll free number listed on the
proxy form and follow the voting instructions given.
Through the Internet. Stockholders may access the internet address listed
on the proxy form and follow the voting instructions given.
1
<PAGE> 5
Telephone and internet voting procedures authenticate each stockholder by
using a control number. The voting procedures will confirm that your
instructions have been properly recorded. Stockholders who vote by telephone or
through the internet should not return the proxy form.
Stockholders who hold shares through a broker or agent should follow the
voting instructions received from them.
Revoking Proxy Voting Instructions
A proxy may be revoked by later dated proxy or by written notice to the
Secretary of the Company at any time before it is voted. Stockholders who hold
shares through a broker should contact the broker or other agent if they wish to
change their vote after executing the proxy.
VOTE REQUIRED AND METHOD OF COUNTING VOTES
ITEM NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast for the election of
directors. If a stockholder does not vote affirmatively for the election of
directors because authority to vote is withheld, because the proxy is not
returned, or because the broker holding the shares does not vote or for some
other reason, the shares will not count in determining the total number of votes
for each nominee. Unless otherwise instructed, proxies which are returned will
be voted for the nominees for Class I Directors.
If any of the nominees is unable to act as a director because of an
unexpected occurrence, the proxy holders may vote the proxies for another person
or the Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors to be elected.
ITEM NOS. 2 AND 3: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
To be approved, each proposal must receive the affirmative vote of the
majority of shares present in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as a
vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes do not affect the voting
calculations. Proxies which are signed and returned unmarked will be voted
against the proposals.
EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION
Expenses for solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company.
Solicitation will be by mail except for any facsimile, telephone, or personal
solicitation by directors, officers, and employees of the Company which may be
made without additional compensation. The Company will request banks and brokers
to solicit proxies from their customers and will reimburse those banks and
brokers for reasonable out-of-pocket costs for this solicitation.

</TABLE>
The Company has a noncontributory retirement plan which has been in effect
since 1947. Named Officers participate in this plan on the same basis as other
salaried employees. The plan provides benefits based on years of service and
salary. The benefit for each year of service, up to a maximum of 35 years, is
equal to 1% of salary plus 0.5% of salary in excess of the Social Security
Covered Compensation level. Salary is defined as the average of the highest 60
consecutive months of an employee's cash compensation, which includes those
amounts reported in the "Salary" and "Bonus" columns of the Summary Compensation
Table, but it excludes compensation under the LTI Plan. Years of credited
service as of December 31, 1998 for the Named Officers are: M. C. Pigott, 20
years; D. J. Hovind, 34 years; M. A. Tembreull, 28 years; and T. E. Plimpton, 22
years.
The Company's unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan provides a retirement
benefit to those affected by the maximum benefit limitations permitted for
qualified plans by the Internal Revenue Code and to those deferring incentive
compensation bonuses. The benefit is equal to the amount of normal pension
benefit reduction resulting from the application of maximum benefit and salary
limitations and the exclusion of deferred incentive compensation bonuses from
the retirement plan benefit formula.
The Pension Plan Table illustrates approximate retirement benefits at age
65 and are based on single life annuity amounts. They are not subject to any
deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.
C. G. Baan is eligible for benefits under a retirement plan sponsored by
DAF Trucks N.V.; sixty percent of the Plan funding is provided by DAF. The plan
provides benefits based on years of service, to a maximum of
8
<PAGE> 12
40 years. Benefits apply to that portion of the salary in excess of $18,380, up
to a maximum of $53,020. The initial and maximum salaries are periodically
adjusted. The pension benefit is equal to 1.75% of applicable salary for each
year of service. Mr. Baan's annual retirement benefit at his normal retirement
date is projected to be $20,205.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION--The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report on
executive compensation:
Under the supervision of the Compensation Committee, the Company has
designed its executive pay programs to provide a direct link between Company
performance and executive compensation. These programs have been in use for a
number of years. The compensation of Company executives under these programs is
determined annually by the Compensation Committee. The Committee is composed
exclusively of independent directors.
The Company believes that its overall executive compensation package should
be sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified executives and should
provide meaningful incentives for measurably superior performance. The Company's
executive compensation program is comprised of three main components: (i) base
salaries; (ii) annual cash bonuses intended to focus maximum effort on achieving
profitability, individually assigned objectives, and the highest level of
product quality; and (iii) long term incentives in the form of stock options and
cash awards intended to focus efforts on achieving long term growth in net
income, return on sales, and return on capital.
Base Salaries. Base salaries are compared with independent salary surveys,
and consultants are utilized from time to time to assure that the overall
compensation package is competitive with the average compensation packages
offered by similar companies, including some of the selected companies described
in the long term incentive plan discussed below (the "Selected Companies"). A
1998 survey compared the compensation packages of 15 companies with which the
Company competes in the market for executive talent. Among the companies
included in the survey were five of the thirteen companies which comprise the
Standard & Poor's indices used in the performance graph set forth later in this
proxy statement. The base salaries of the Company's executive officers including
its Chief Executive Officer were in the median range of the salaries paid by
similar companies surveyed.
Annual Cash Bonuses. Annual cash bonuses may range from 0% up to 84% of the
executive's base salary. In general, from 50% to 100% of these bonuses are based
on the Company's performance compared to an overall profit goal approved by the
Compensation Committee. The balance of the executives' bonus calculation is
based upon the attainment of one or more individual goals approved by the
Compensation Committee. In general, these goals involve factors such as the
financial performance of the business units for which the executive has direct
responsibility, such as profitability or return on investment, as well as non-
financial performance criteria such as market share improvement, product
quality, new product development, production efficiencies and similar specific
individual assignments. The individual goals are changed annually, and a level
of importance is assigned to each goal on a percentage basis. The calculation of
the bonus takes into account both the level of achievement and the assigned
importance of the goal. The achievement of each goal is determined separately,
and no bonus for a specific goal is paid unless at least 70% of that goal is
achieved.
The bonuses earned in 1997 and paid in 1998 reflect an achievement in
excess of 100% of the Company's overall profit goal for 1997. The bonuses earned
in 1998 paid in 1999 reflect an achievement in excess of 100% of the Company's
overall profit goal for 1998.
Long Term Incentives. Given the cyclical nature of the Company's business,
long term incentives are based on a three-year performance period and are
provided through annual grants of stock options and cash incentives. The
Compensation Committee determines a target award for each executive officer,
expressed as a percentage of salary at the date the award is granted. The target
award is allocated 85% to stock options and 15% to the cash incentive award.
Stock options become exercisable at the end of the three-year performance period
and are intended to link the interests of key employees directly with
stockholders' interests through
9
<PAGE> 13
increased individual stock ownership. The exercise price of the stock options is
the market price at the time of grant.
A significant portion (50% to 100%) of the long term cash incentive award
is based on overall Company performance measured in terms of the Company's
ranking in compound growth of net income, return on sales, and return on capital
(weighted equally) when compared to the Selected Companies, a group of Fortune
500 companies in similar industries. The Selected Companies have been used for
this comparison for a number of years. These companies have been selected
because, in the judgment of the Company's compensation consultants and the
Compensation Committee, they are the most directly comparable in size and nature
of business to the Company. The Selected Companies include seven of the thirteen
companies which make up the published Standard & Poor's indices in the
performance graph set forth below.
The remainder of the executives' long term cash incentive award is based
upon each executive's meeting business unit and individual objectives. These
objectives are established on the same basis as the types of individual goals
described above for the annual cash bonus, but they are measured over a
three-year performance cycle. The actual amount of each individual's cash
incentives related to the executive's business unit financial performance and
other individual objectives is determined by the Compensation Committee at the
end of a rolling three-year performance cycle, based on the Committee's
evaluation of each executive's performance during the preceding three years. The
target amount will be earned if Company's financial performance ranks above at
least half of the Selected Companies (the "Comparative Performance Goal") and
business unit and individual performance are at 100% of goal. The maximum award
amount will be earned if Company's financial performance ranks above all of the
Selected Companies and business unit and individual performance are at least
150% of goal. No award will be earned if Company's financial performance ranks
below 75% of the Selected Companies and business unit and individual performance
is below 75% of goal.
The cash awards paid in 1998 for the three-year cycle ended in 1997 reflect
an achievement in excess of 100% of the Comparative Performance Goal. The
incentive cash awards for each executive officer for the three-year cycle ended
in 1998 were not determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared.
Chief Executive Officer's Compensation. The Chief Executive Officer's
compensation is comprised of the same components as other executives: (i) base
salary; (ii) an annual cash bonus; and (iii) a long term incentive in the form
of stock options and a cash award.
The CEO's 1998 annual cash bonus was based entirely on the Company's profit
goal as established by the Compensation Committee. The bonuses earned in 1997
and paid in 1998 reflect an achievement in excess of 100% of the Company's
overall profit goal for 1997. The annual bonus earned in 1998 and paid in 1999
reflects an achievement in excess of 100% of the goal for 1998. The cash portion
of the long term incentive was based 100% on the Company's performance during
the three-year cycle as compared to the Selected Companies. For the three-year
cycle ended in 1997, the Company achieved in excess of 100% of the Comparative
Performance Goal. The incentive cash award for the three-year cycle ended in
1998 was not determined on the date this proxy statement was prepared. As with
other executives, the size of the stock option award is determined on the basis
of salary and not on the amount and terms of options already held.
The LTI Plan and the annual cash bonus program are structured to allow the
Company to preserve tax deductions for performance based executive compensation
under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Overall Compensation. The overall compensation package (base salary, annual
cash bonuses and long term incentives) for the Company's executive officers was
within the median range of compensation paid by similar companies surveyed
except for the Chief Executive Officer who was below the median range. The
Compensation Committee believes that the overall compensation package for the
Company's key executives meets the objective of providing significant individual
performance incentives.

STOCKHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH--Set forth below is a line graph
comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareowner return
on the Company's common stock to the cumulative total return of the Standard &
Poor's Composite--500 Stock Index and an equally-weighted simple average of the
Standard & Poor's Heavy-Duty Trucks & Parts and the Standard & Poor's Machinery
(Diversified) indices (as reported on the Bloomberg data service) for the period
of five fiscal years commencing December 31, 1993 and ending on December 31,
1998. Management believes that the blending of these two indices provides a
better comparison than either of the indices alone because the Company's
performance can be compared to a larger number of comparable companies. The
comparison assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 1993 in the Company's
common stock and in the stated indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Ernst & Young LLP performed the audit of the Company's financial statements
for 1998 and has been selected to perform this function for 1999. Partners from
the Seattle office of Ernst & Young LLP will attend the Annual Meeting, will
have the opportunity to make statements if they desire, and will be available to
respond to appropriate questions.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Company has been advised that two stockholders intend to present
proposals at the Annual Meeting. The Company will furnish the names, addresses,
and number of shares held by the proponents of the following stockholder
proposals upon receipt of written or oral request for such information to the
Secretary.
In accordance with the proxy regulations, the following are the complete
texts of the proposals exactly as submitted. The Company accepts no
responsibility for either proposal.
ITEM NO. 2: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of PACCAR Inc (the "Company") request the
Board of Directors to seek the approval of holders of a majority of shares of
the Company's issued and outstanding common stock before extending the term of
the Company's shareholder rights plan or adopting any new shareholder rights
plan of similar arrangement."
PROPONENT'S SUPPORTING STATEMENT
In December 1989, the Board of Directors, without shareholder approval,
adopted a shareholder rights plan or "poison pill." A poison pill is a type of
anti-takeover device which may injure shareholders by reducing management
accountability and adversely affecting shareholder value. The Company's poison
pill is slated to expire between the 1999 and 2000 annual meetings.
While management and the Board of Directors should have the appropriate
tools to ensure that all shareholders benefit from any proposal to acquire the
Company, the future possibility of takeover does not justify the unilateral
imposition of a poison pill. As Nell Minow and Robert Monks note in their book
Power and Accountability, poison pills "amount to major de facto shifts of
voting rights away from shareholders to management, on matters pertaining to the
sale of the corporation. They give target boards of directors absolute veto
power over any proposed business combination, no matter how beneficial it might
be for the shareholders."
Given the substantial power that poison pills shift from shareholders to
management, and the potential this holds for reducing management accountability,
shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on such a significant corporate
governance issue. This is particularly important given the fact that the Company
already contains measures which insulate management from shareholders, including
a classified board and a prohibition on shareholder action by written consent.
Rights plans such as the Company's have become increasingly unpopular in
recent years. In the 1997 proxy season, shareholder proposals seeking to redeem
rights plans or subject plans to shareholder votes garnered 54% support from
shareholders. In addition, the Council of Institutional Investors--an
organization of large corporate and public pension plans--calls for shareholder
approval of all poison pills in its Shareholder Bill of Rights.
To assure shareholders that management and Board of Directors respect the
right of shareholders to participate in the fundamental decisions that affect
the Company's governance and performance, we urge the Company to seek
shareholder approval for any extension or renewal of the Company's poison pill.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM NO. 2 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Board of Directors (the "Board") maintains a shareholder rights plan
("poison pill") to ensure that the Company's stockholders will receive fair
value for their investment in the Company in the event of a change in control or
takeover. Similar rights plans ("poison pills") have been adopted by a majority
of the corporations included in the Standard & Poor's 500.
The Board initially adopted a shareholder rights plan in December 1989,
which was scheduled to expire in December 1999. Last December, following a
thorough review of the Company's takeover defenses, the Company's Board of
Directors adopted a new shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), which has
been in effect since February 1999. Renewal of the Rights Plan was a planned
agenda item for the December 10 Board meeting when this shareholder proposal was
received. The Rights Plan was renewed because the Board of Directors continues
to believe that it is in the best interests of the stockholders.
The Rights Plan encourages potential acquirers to negotiate in good faith
directly with the Board, which is in the best position to evaluate the adequacy
and fairness of proposed offers, and to negotiate on behalf of all stockholders.
The Rights Plan is designed to protect stockholders against potential
abuses during the takeover process, such as "creeping" acquisitions of the
Company's stock in the open market, hostile tender offers made at less than full
and fair price, partial and two-tiered tender offers that discriminate among
stockholders, and other abusive practices that can be used to deprive
stockholders of the ability to get a full and fair price for all of their
shares.
The Rights Plan is not intended to and will not prevent a takeover on terms
determined by the Board to be fair and equitable to all stockholders, nor is it
intended as a deterrent to a stockholder's initiation of a proxy contest. If the
Board determines that an offer adequately reflects the value of the Company and
is in the best interests of all stockholders, the Plan provides that the Board
may redeem the Rights.
A study released by Georgeson and Co. in November 1997 found that rights
plans did not reduce the likelihood that a company would become a takeover
target. The study further found that a target company with a rights plan
commanded a higher price than one without such a plan.
Delaware law imposes a fiduciary duty on the Board to act in the best
interests of the Company's stockholders and to oppose unfair takeover offers.
Courts have recognized that rights plans are a useful and legitimate tool
available to directors in fulfilling these fiduciary responsibilities to
stockholders. The Company's directors are well aware of their fiduciary duties
and responsibilities to the Company's stockholders when evaluating the merits of
any acquisition proposal.
The adoption of a shareholder rights plan does not require shareholder
approval. The Board believes that the extension or adoption of a shareholder
rights plan is appropriately within the scope of responsibilities of the Board,
acting on behalf of the stockholders.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "AGAINST" Item 2. Your
proxy will be voted against this proposal unless you specify otherwise.
ITEM NO. 3: STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING ELECTION OF THE ENTIRE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS EACH YEAR
RESOLVED, ELECT THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EACH YEAR with an independent
lead director: PACCAR shareholders request the Board of Directors take the
necessary steps to amend accordingly the company's governing instruments
including, but not limited to, the corporate by-laws.
This includes the requirement that a majority vote of outstanding shares,
voting on a single issue, is needed to change this resolution after enactment.
13
<PAGE> 17
PROPONENT'S SUPPORTING STATEMENT
It is intuitive that, directors accountable through annual election,
perform better. The current piecemeal director election gives PACCAR directors
3-years of protection from the consequences of their performance.
Annual reviews for directors, through election, is particularly important
because directors do not depend on PACCAR for their livelihood. Yet their
commitment impacts the financial security of stockholders.
There is an incentive for a well-performing company to have good corporate
governance--highlighted by annual election of all directors:
Fifty institutional investors, managing a total of $840 million, told
McKinsey & Co. they would pay an 11% average premium for the stock of a company
with good governance practices.
Why the big jump? Some investors said they believed that good governance
would help boost performance over time. Others felt good governance decreases
the risk of bad news--and when trouble occurs, they rebound faster.
Business Week Sept. 15, 1997
The key to good governance is to keep a well-performing corporation from
becoming a poor performing one.
Business Week Sept. 15, 1997
Good corporate governance can counter-balance recent events in the
proponent's opinion:
PACCAR stock price is off 37% from early 1998.
Value Line Sept. 11, 1998
We continue to recommend that investors avoid truck makers, including
PACCAR. We expect sales to flatten in the next few quarters and then turn down.
Standard & Poors Aug. 15, 1998
The May 1998 Nashville plant strike continued into October.
BusinessWire Oct. 20, 1998
[The May strike was finally settled in November 1998.]
Some analysts question how long good times can roll for the heavy truck
industry. Some analysts say the current industry boom is due for a correction
within a year.
Raju Patel, Truck Analyst, Bank of America said: It would be prudent to see
a downturn given how strong things are right now. It wouldn't be unexpected to
see a downturn into 1998, beginning of 1999.

YES ON 3
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONSE
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION AND UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST ITEM NO. 3 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
In 1986, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation to divide the Board of Directors into three
classes, with approximately one-third of the directors elected each year for a
three-year term. The Board continues to believe that a classified Board (that
is, one where only a portion of the board is elected each year) is in the best
interests of the stockholders. The Company's classified Board of Directors has
operated successfully since it was adopted twelve (12) years ago. During this
time, the Company has grown significantly and profitably. Currently, a vast
majority of the corporations in the Standard & Poor's 500 have classified
boards.
14
<PAGE> 18
A classified board structure provides continuity and stability of
leadership and policy because a majority of the directors at any given time will
have prior experience as directors of the Company. Consequently, the Board will
have a solid knowledge of the Company, a broader perspective on its operations,
and a better understanding of its future plans and opportunities. This structure
enables the directors to build on past experience for more effective long-term
strategic planning. This is particularly important in a company like PACCAR that
engages in long-term investment programs.
The Company's classified Board reduces the vulnerability of the company to
certain potentially abusive takeover tactics and encourages potential acquirers
to initiate arms length negotiations with management and seasoned directors.
Because only one-third of the directors are elected at any annual meeting of
stockholders, it is impossible to elect an entire new board or even a majority
of the board at a single meeting. Incumbent directors always represent a
majority of the Board and are in a position to negotiate with the proponent of
the change while protecting the interests of all stockholders.
Directors elected for staggered terms are not necessarily any less
accountable to stockholders than directors that are elected annually. Directors
are continually accountable to stockholders by virtue of their ongoing fiduciary
obligations under Delaware state law to serve the best interests of the Company
and all of its stockholders. Board accountability is also achieved through
stockholders' selection of responsible, experienced and respected individuals as
directors.
Adoption of this proposal does not automatically result in a change to the
Board structure. Under Delaware law, to change the structure of the Board of
Directors, the Board must first authorize an amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation. The stockholders would then have to approve that
amendment with an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Company's outstanding
shares of common stock.
The Board believes that a classified board is appropriate for the Company
and will continue to best serve and protect stockholders' interests.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "AGAINST" Item 3. Your
proxy will be voted against this proposal unless you specify otherwise.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2000
A stockholder proposal must be received at the principal executive offices
of the Company, P.O. Box 1518, Bellevue, Washington 98009 by November 17, 1999

Annual Meeting.
For business to be brought before the Annual Meeting by a stockholder other
than those proposals included in the proxy materials, the Company's Bylaws
provide that notice of such business must be received at the Company's principal
executive offices not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the Annual
Meeting.
The Bylaws of the Company provide (Art. III, Sec. 6), that nominations for
director by a stockholder must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the
Company's principal executive office not less than 45 nor more than 60 days
prior to a stockholder meeting. The notice must specify the stockholder's name,
address, and number of shares of the Company beneficially owned, and it must
specify certain information relating to the nominee as required under Regulation
14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
