    The ones on the console on the floor to the left of the seat? Those look like controls for a PTO system.

    Your dash is quite a bit different than mine. Mine has more gauges (because mine has a Cat with a Brakesaver), square rocker switches instead of toggles and my air system gauges are about an inch larger in diameter than the rest of the gauges. Wonder if mine's different because its Canadian built with a steel cab structure?

    The button below the glove box should be the circuit breaker for the trailer hot line, which I think is just a fancy name for the center pin on the trailer plug.

    I was just curious how your exhaust is routed on your Kenworth. I want to convert mine over from a single and was looking for ideas/pictures. Mine is just a day cab.

    Mine just had a split in the pipe at the back of the cab. Driver's side stack mounted on exactly the same as the passenger side.

    Do you use the actual kenworth elbows on the bottom where it turns to come up or did you just use a 90 elbow. Ive seen where some run a 90 elbow but it makes it closer to the steps but it doesnt look bad. Ill have to move my air dryer deal too if i add another one

    Mine had the opposite problem when I bought it. The previous owner just used regular 90's and it put the exhaust further rearwards, away from the battery box and fuel tank. Actually made the stacks point slightly forwards.

    I see. Ive seen were they use the peterbilt brackets too on the cab and the 90s but i dont know if i want to do that... my other issue is i need to move my air dryer, its right behind the battery box. Its the old school one thats pretty big so i need to find a new place for it.. is there a way to upload a picture off my phone to show what im talking about?
