Truckers, lets see your rigs!

From what I understood it was the c-16 turbo with an un gated housing swapped on.

ok, I was going to say your not going to want that 1.65 gated housing on stock fuel.

If a guy had a knowledgable fellow willing to tune a truck outside of dealer regulations... What file would you put with a set of 6999 trim codes? Or do we need to stay away from the 6999?

And my ride for the rest of this week...

I've developed this serious need to own an old truck with an iron lung... Call me weird...

That is a VERY unique sounding engine!!! I don't think I've ever heard one like that before. Almost sounds a little like a 2stroke Detroit.

I think 1693's are pretty mean sounding engines.

Another 3406B overhead and pump "adjustment" today

It's probably a good thing this truck is in Arizona and I'm in Michigan.

In the far reaches of one of our gravel pits there's a truck, at first glace you see an old W900A Kenworth that's led a rough life in the construction world, when she was too old and outdated she was put to pasture and over the years has had parts robbed off of it and there's not much left.......but when I laid eyes on this beauty I knew I had to get ahold of it, after talking to the boss, he told me "if you can haul it off, you can have it"........ So here she is, she looks rough now, but she isn't too far gone to be saved!

1974 W900A extended hood!

Can anyone ID this engine? I'm pretty sure its either an NTC250 or an NTC300, I can't tell for sure.

Even has a sleeper

 

[chevota84]

Do you know what engine it was born with?

Pretty sure the one that's in it is the original

Some stuff has been changed then. Fan shroud isnt even close. Is there a second water outlet on the driver side of the rad? It almost looks like a v-12 setup.

I'll go back tomorrow and take more detailed pictures.

Very cool no matter what, I think that bunk is kind of rare.

There's two of them sitting out at the pit, one off of this A model, and another one from a 77 A model

 

[chevota84]

With the T handles?

The K series also has two top water lines.

My original bunk from 79 has T handles.
