Is that a "bolt on" or are there mods that need to be done? I think it's a sharp ride minus that hideous sleeper.

I think they require a different door striker on the older trucks. I like the aero 1 trucks, I was trying to find pictures of an old conversion a guy was doing of a 36" aero bunk, Kenworth made him stop doing them from what I heard.

I know the guy who owns it, I'm sure he'd be happy to tell me all about it and let me get more pictures. It does work occasionally, but only locally and it never spends a night outside. Its a gorgeous truck in person

That's even a real A model aero, the daylight doors just don't look right.

Well agreed on $9000 cad price tag and getting the truck tomorrow morning. Then begins the fix in'. Any advice on little stuff that should be addressed is greatly appreciated. I have no experience with kW trucks. Gonna take time an get the troublesome stuff fixed up so that all that will remain will be the pretty stuff to be done when time/ money allow.

He's changed the pipes on the 379 between pics? Lol

That kW needs bigger stacks.

No, minus the doors the A model looks right, much over 6" pipes on an old A model don't look quite right.

I like the daylight doors on it. I think it's a neat twist.

I agree, old school trucks need old school pipes. 6" mitres, flat cuts, or turnouts would really seal the deal for me

They are. 5" with factory style heat shields

I do too, mix in a little new school with the old school look. I'd have done nothing different other than the stacks, Terry (the owner) has great taste in trucks

At least nothing is permanently modified to do the daylight doors, easy to change back. I hate to see old iron cut up for a new style fad look.
