    I see they still offer the T800. At least you can still get a narrow cab.

    I'm currently having a W9 built. And now I'm wondering if it was a good move.

    What are you second guessing? Wishing you would have waited on the new model?

    Fiberglass hood and roofs. Cab structure itself is mostly steel with aluminum for the outer skin. At least my 1980 is anyways.

    No. Parts availability long term? Resale? I don't know.
    I run specialized heavy.

    Don’t think you’re going to have any problems with parts availability, B cab parts will be around for ever. Resale I’d think will not be an issue, there are going to be plenty that will not like the new W990 and you’ll have one of the last built W900’s.

    Exactly! Mid 90s flat windows are valuable still.

    If the Truckpaper ad says “pre-ELD” I think the price automatically goes up about $40k. Haha

    ooo. Makes a man stand up to get in there to do some work. Righteous actual by god earth moving work. Engage all wheel drive, locker it all up and the rotation of the earth stops while the very oceans slosh a bit around the coastal cities.
     
    Zeviander Thanks this.
