That is a very cool truck, just needs to be white and then it is perfect...LOL

It's interesting that the heavy truck industry doesn't have to go through re-styling every few years to keep their customer's interested...
Change very little, if any on the outside, and just keep selling them...
Sharp looking KW :thumb:

Thank you, it belongs to a friend.

Still Not White.

Nah, white just looks comercial on the big rigs, no I like the Blue, not the first shade I would choose but it looks very nice all the same. Only a 15L huh? ):h

i think the OLD SCHOOL look on trucks is great! i dont like the t2000 and others like it.

I get my T-800 day cab in july. The dash is really nice, I hadn't actually seen the new style instrumentation yet . I'm quite excited since it will be my first new rig. I chose the C-15 Cat 550hp . Ext color: black clearcoat.

Each New rig is exciting and that never goes away.

Yeah..especially the payments!! :eek::bawl:

I always liked KWs, nice dash, 10 speed? I liked when I had to drive a rig every day, glad I didn't have to do all day.

The two most over rated things in this world are teenage p*ssy and Caterpillar engines.

13 Double over.

Idahofox

That is a sweet dash and set of gauges.

I love the KWs....really the W900L is the one I want someday. Just as a show truck, and drive it every once in awhile.

I like Freightliner myself the nice wrap around dash.

I had six (at one time) W - 900's; Set-in bunk, 4 & 1/4 mechanical CAT, Non Set-back axle.

Love the aesthetic's of the W - 900's :cool: , dating myself.

Set-in's, lot less room; what spoil the driver? :badidea:

CATs did what CATs do, haul ass. :exactly:

Non Set-back axle; once you drive a rig with a Set-back axle, these are a real pain. -:t

Lot of changes in the past 20 years. :ro)

Ol' man Jessup, (outof NJ I think) used to run a Restored '58 KW SkilletFace, for several months each Summer. Drove it he' self.

A thing of Beauty ;) , I usually saw him in WY on I - 80; dirty side to CA.

Uh oh, live'n in the past again. :D

Idahofox

Nice truck!

Great looking truck.:ro)

Good lookin' truck, love to see/drive it!

About how much is something like that???

-Jeff

At least 100k I'm betting. Guy I know got a 99 pete brand new, it was 90 or so then, so a new truck now has to be at least that...

Try $120K.

Idahofox

That was what I figured but I thought I better start low.

My truck will cost $144k canadian, and it's just a day cab. I ordered quite a few options though: double frame, 20k # front axle 46k# rear, 52k# neway air susp,full lock diffs, polished alcoa wheels, polished tanks, heated leather air seats. The C-15 550hp was an extra 15k. IMO worth every penny.:ro)

Did you get your new KW?

Idahofox

That's a long story, but no sadly. A few things have changed regarding contracts since I ordered it some time ago. That and the fuel price skyrocketing didn't help my decision. My insurance quote was $10 500 CAD so the odds were stacked against me. I lost the $2000 deposit, but I figure it's better to lose that than sink my business because of it. I will probably consider in two years from now getting one.

If i get a chance though ,I'll swing by the dealer and get some pics to post before it sells. I'd kind of like to see it at least for my 2G's.

For 2G's you should get take it around the block.

Sorry for the bad luck, tomarrow is another day.
