Pete doesn't make an 82 inch sleeper. there big sleeper with the window is the 70 inch ultra.

it's bigger then the KW 84 because KW measures it half way up into the darn cab or something wierd like that. it may be the back edge of the doors, I forget

Notarps,

That pic was taken in 83, so I take that no 80's pics are allowed.

For you cat fans,

The ford truck pictured had a Cat engine (my dad thinks it was a 3406 rated at 350 or 375hp), 410 ratio, and spring suspension.

Anyone here ever drive a L9000?

I drove, slept in, ate in and lived in several of those L9000's. Ran FL/Toronto with them in the mid/late 70's. Most had 318 Yamaha/13 speed/ spring suspension. A real nice feature they had was power steering, not much else. hehehe

I had a brand new CL9000 double wide cabover in 1979. It was the most luxurious truck of the day, had a KT450, the 1st ever air ride cab and cruise control! Even with the hendricson 44000lb spring suspension it was comfortable. Was the 1st truck I ever drove that I could drive 20 hours without feeling whipped... [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Depot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/IMG]and in those day we drove 20 hours nearly every day.[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Depot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG]
