EXHIBIT 10 (b)

PACCAR Inc
Supplemental Retirement Plan


SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

    The PACCAR Inc Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Supplemental Plan"), as established effective January 1, 1975, by PACCAR Inc, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2000. The sole purpose of the Supplemental Plan is to supplement the benefits of certain employees under the PACCAR Inc Retirement Plan as amended (the "Retirement Plan")


SECTION 2. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

    Participation in this Supplemental Plan shall be limited to the following classes of members:

    The term "Participant" includes an employee eligible to participate in this Supplemental Plan by reason of paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) above. Employees who are participants solely due to (c) shall be defined as "Excess Plan Participants", and the Plan as it applies to these participants shall be an excess benefit plan as defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA.


SECTION 3. PLAN BENEFITS

(a)
Supplemental Commencement Date—The Supplemental Commencement Date is the date the Participant elects to commence benefits from this Supplemental Plan. Eligibility for receiving benefits under this Supplemental Plan are the same as under Article 4 of the Retirement Plan.

(b)
Supplemental Form of Payment—The Participant shall elect a Supplemental Form of Payment. This election shall be made from the options described in Article 6.1 of the Retirement Plan and in accordance with the election provisions contained in Section 6.2 of the Retirement Plan. If the Participant elects to receive Supplemental Plan benefits as defined in Section 3(e), the Supplemental Form of Payment must be the same as the form of payment elected under the Retirement Plan.

(c)
Total Plan Benefit—The Total Plan Benefit shall equal the monthly pension payment which would be payable to such Participant under Article 5 of the Retirement Plan if the maximum benefit limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code and of the Retirement Plan did not apply,

1


(d)
Supplemental Plan Benefits—In general, to the extent that the Total Plan Benefit exceeds a Participant's actual monthly pension payment under the Retirement Plan (the Retirement Plan Benefit), the difference shall be payable from the Supplemental Retirement Plan. At the Supplemental Commencement Date, the participant must request one of three payment options, described in Sections 3(e), 3(f) and 3(g).

(e)
The member may request to commence benefits under the Retirement Plan and receive a pension payment from the Supplemental Retirement Plan.
(f)
The member may request to commence benefits under the Retirement Plan and receive a lump sum from the Supplemental Retirement Plan, subject to Section 5(b).

    The member receives a lump sum which is equal to the actuarial equivalent present value of the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit as defined in Section 3(e).

(g)
The member may request to defer commencement of benefits from the Retirement Plan. The member will receive the Total Plan Benefit from the Supplemental Retirement Plan. Payment of this amount will cease at the earlier of the following:

(1)
The month preceding the date the member elects to commence benefits under the Retirement Plan;

(2)
The month preceding the date that the member could elect to commence benefits under the Retirement Plan and receive a Retirement Plan Benefit, payable in the same form of payment as under the Supplemental Retirement Plan, at least as large as the Total Plan Benefit; or

(3)
The month during which the member turns age 70.

    The determination of (2) shall be made annually by PACCAR Inc as soon as the Internal Revenue Service publishes the applicable dollar limitation under Section 415(b) (1) (A) for that year.

    If the benefit payment ceases due to (1), a new Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated. This benefit equals the difference between the Supplemental Plan Benefit previously in payment and the benefit payable under the Retirement Plan commencing on the date the member elected to commence benefits from the Retirement Plan and payable in the Supplemental Form of Payment. This benefit will be payable in the Supplemental Form of Payment.

    If the Supplemental Retirement Benefit ceases due to (2), no further Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be paid.

    If the benefit ceases due to (3), a new Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be calculated equal to the difference between the Supplemental Plan Benefit previously in payment and the benefit payable from the Retirement Plan assuming benefit commencement on the first day of the month following the month in which the member turned age 70 and based on the Supplemental Form of Payment. This

2


benefit shall be payable in the Supplemental Form of Payment or, at the request of the member, may be payable as a lump sum equal to the actuarial equivalent present value of the remaining Supplemental Plan Benefits, subject to Section 5(b).


SECTION 4. SURVIVORS PENSIONS

    (a) Death before benefit commencement.

    If the member dies before making an election under Section 3(d), the surviving spouse is eligible to receive a Survivor Pension. The spouse's benefit and options under the Supplemental Retirement Plan shall be determined consistently with Section 3. With respect to the spouse, the Total Plan Benefit shall equal the monthly pension payment which would be payable under Article 7 of the Retirement Plan if the maximum benefit limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code and of the Retirement Plan did not apply, the Iincludable compensation limitations of 401(a) (17) of the Internal Revenue Code did not apply, and the definition of salary in the Retirement Plan included deferred base salary and incentive compensation. The spouse's Retirement Plan Benefit shall be the actual monthly pension payable under Article 7 of the Retirement Plan.

    (b) Death after benefit commencement.

    If the member dies after commencing benefits under Section 3(e), the Survivor Pension shall be determined based on the Supplemental Form of Payment.

    If the member dies after receiving a lump sum under Section 3(f), no Survivor Pension shall be paid.

    If the member dies after commencing benefits under Section 3(g) and before benefits have commenced from the Retirement Plan, the following Survivor Pension shall be paid:

    If the member dies after commencing benefits under Section 3(g) and after benefits have commenced from the Retirement Plan, for purposes of the calculations defined in (2) and (3) above, the monthly pension payable to the spouse under the Retirement Plan shall be deemed to be the benefit the spouse would have been eligible for had the member elected to receive the Retirement Plan Benefit in the Supplemental Form of Payment, irrespective of the actual form of payment chosen for the Retirement Plan.

    Under (2) and (3) above, instead of receiving a lifetime Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit, the spouse may elect to defer receipt of the Retirement Plan Benefit until the available Retirement Plan Benefit exceeds the Total Plan Survivor Benefit. Determination of the amount and cessation date of the Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefit shall be consistent with the procedures described in Section 3 (g).

3


    (c) Eligibility for Survivor Pension.

    Eligibility for a Survivor Pension shall be based on the requirements in Article 7.1 of the Retirement Plan.


SECTION 5. LUMP SUM PAYMENT

(a)
Involuntary.
(b)
Under Section 3(f) and 3(g), the member may request to receive a lump sum payment in lieu of monthly benefits under this Plan. Acceptance of such request shall be at the sole discretion of the Company. Such request must be in writing and made before any payments under the Plan commence.

(c)
For purposes of calculating lump sums under this Plan, the interest rate used shall be 7% per annum, compounded annually, or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation immediate and deferred interest rates in effect for the month of distribution, whichever produces the greater lump sum. For purposes of calculating lump sums under this Plan in the event of a Change of Control, the interest rate used shall be 0% (zero percent). The assumed mortality table for participants shall be the UP-1984 mortality table. The assumed mortality table for spouses shall be the UP-1984 Mortality Table with ages set back three years.

SECTION 6. FUNDING

    The Supplemental Plan shall be unfunded, and Supplemental Plan Benefits shall be paid only from the general assets of the Company.


SECTION 7. ADMINISTRATION

    The Supplemental Plan shall be administered by the Company. The Company shall make such rules, interpretations and computations as it may deem appropriate; and any decision with respect to the Supplemental Plan, including (without limitation) any determination of eligibility to participate in the Supplemental Plan and any calculation of Supplemental Plan Benefits shall be within the discretion of the Company. The Company's decision shall be upheld by a court of law unless it is arbitrary and

4


capricious. To the extent not preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (except Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I), this Supplemental Plan shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Washington.


SECTION 8. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

    The Company will make all determinations as to the rights of any Employee, Participant, Beneficiary or other person under the terms of this Plan. Any Employee, Participant or Beneficiary, or person claiming under them, may make claim for benefit under this Plan by filing written notice with the Company setting forth the substance of the claim. If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the claimant will have the opportunity to appeal the denial by filing with the Company a written request for review within 60 days after receipt of notice of denial. In making an appeal, the claimant may examine pertinent Plan documents and may submit issues and comments in writing.

    Denial of a claim or a decision on review will be made in writing by the Company and delivered to the claimant within 60 days after receipt of the claim or request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim or review, in which event the Company's decision must be made as soon as possible thereafter, but not beyond an additional 60 days. If no action on an initial claim is taken within 120 days, the claims will be deemed denied for purposes of permitting the claimant to proceed to the review stage.

    The denial of a claim or the decision on review will specify the reasons for the denial or decision and will make reference to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the denial or decision is based. The denial of a claim will also include a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of the claim review procedure herein described. Valid service of any legal process upon the Company shall constitute service of process upon the Plan.


SECTION 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

    The Company expects to continue the Supplemental Plan indefinitely. Future conditions, however, cannot be foreseen, and the Company shall have the authority to amend or to terminate the Supplemental Plan at any time. In the event of an amendment or termination of the Supplemental Plan, a Participant's Supplemental Plan Benefits shall not be less than the Supplemental Plan Benefits to which the Participant would be entitled if the Participant's employment had terminated immediately prior to such amendment or termination of the Supplemental Plan.

SECTION 10. CHANGE OF CONTROL

(a)
"Change of Control" shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

6


(b)
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Supplemental Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, each Participant shall immediately be fully vested in the benefits set forth in Section 3 which have accrued through the date of the Change of Control and, upon the Change of Control, each Participant (or his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash in an amount which is the actuarial equivalent of such accrued benefits (as specified in Section 5(c)), which amount shall be paid within 30 days of the Change of Control.

(c)
Section 10 is effective December 21, 1989.

SECTION 11. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

    Nothing in the Supplemental Plan shall be deemed to give any person any right to remain in the employ of the Company or affect any right of the Company to terminate a person's employment with or without cause.


SECTION 12. FORFEITURE OF PARTICIPANT BENEFITS

    Benefits payable under the Plan to a Participant will be forfeited if service with the Company is terminated for cause, which is defined to include any of the following conduct: (1) an act of embezzlement, fraud or theft; (2) deliberate disregard of the rules of the Company or a Subsidiary, (3) unauthorized disclosure of any of the secrets or confidential information of the Company; (4) any conduct which constitutes unfair competition with the Company; or (5) inducing any customers of the Company to breach any contracts with the Company. Benefits shall also be forfeited if, after retirement or after termination of services for reasons other than discharge for cause, a Participant fails or refuses to provide advice and counsel to the Company when reasonably requested to do so. The good faith

7


determination of the Board of Directors of PACCAR Inc of the existence of facts justifying forfeiture is considered conclusive under this Supplemental Plan.
