    You can order a T800B with a 15 liter motor. One's sittin in my driveway right now. If you're ordering the truck they should be able to put a double frame under whatever hood you want. Ordering a KW isn't like ordering a Dodge or a Chevy.

    No one said u couldn't put a c15 in a t800b! In a stub nose u can't! Hood to small and so is radiator! Won't have enough cooling with that size radiator. They did away with the High hood T800 cause they can get the big radiator in the slope nose.

    That's different from a t800SH. There's T800, T800B, T800SH, T800S, T800W or something like that. Quite a few models, the T800 is by far the most common.

    You won't find all the models on Truckpaper, but here's some:

    T800B:

    http://www.truckpaper.com/list/list...s&LiftGate=All&Cond=All&SO=2&btnSearch=Search

    Notice they're more work trucks, larger front fenders and tires

    T800:

    http://www.truckpaper.com/list/list...s&LiftGate=All&Cond=All&SO=2&btnSearch=Search

    Standard on highway T800

    T800W:

    http://www.truckpaper.com/list/list...s&LiftGate=All&Cond=All&SO=2&btnSearch=Search

    Wide hoods, extra cooling, mostly heavy haul

    T800SH:

    View attachment 66365

    Notice how the front fender is not a complete half circle. This is the short hood model and they only ever came with 13 litre or smaller motors, no detroits because they're too high. These trucks are CRAMMED under the hood.

    Well a t800 with regard hood and 2 air cleaners on outside will have split fenders on hood to. The t8 with air cleaner under hood has solid fenders on hood. We have one of each.
