    Hey guys. Why can I still purchase a new freightshaker or star glider kit but not paccar? Seems like bs also is there any way to get new chassis for paccar products or were the last ones 2020 I have seen some 2020 2019 and if anyone knows of some bare 2020 paccar chassis let me know.

    Paccar stopped because of all the hoops needed to jump through now to build an exempt glider.

    That’s probably why they quit building gliders instead of the EPA regulations.

    My 24 year old w900 with 2.1 on it has less squeaks and rattles then the last 2016 389 I drove with ~300k,

    I’d also rather keep an old title truck then dealing with loop holes and who knows what from the epa and what they want to change in the future as far as gliders go.

    To order a glider from freightliner or western star you now have to provide an (epa number?) from a glider finishing shop/builder. They won't sell you a bare glider without that number. I do know of a Detroit shop that is a allowed to build 7 gliders a year.
     
    Cat sdp and nitetride379x Thank this.

    I believe you can also get them if you already have a title for another glider that was wrecked
