    I'm adding a truck to my small fleet and want to do a glider kit this time. Where can I find a W900L glider and a 2000ish pre egr detroit series 60? I won't have a core or any trade in parts, so what should I expect for cost?

    Also want a 13 speed eaton fuller, can I buy that with the motor? Anyone do a W900L glider before that could share the experience?

    Thanks!

    Don't get your hopes up on a KW glider. Last I checked they didn't do gliders, but that was a bit over a year ago. I'm sure someone will give the current status of KW and gliders?

    KW just started offering gliders about 30 days ago, check with fitzgerald see if they can get them. If not you'll have to get 1 from kw and have the mechanic of your choice assemble it.All I've seen is 900's and 660's and 700's.Type glider kit into the search box at the top of the page and you'll see the thread on the press release and some part #'s.
