Cabovers

Not over here

Google "K108 Kenworth Aerodyne" they still look cool,we have a lot of short 8 wheeler tractors pulling 45ft quads.

I still prefer hoods though

 

Kenworth K108 Aerodyne


Now this is what I am talking about very nice machine.

 

Oh yeah that's a nice ride!

 

Drove the one on the right for a little bit.


Didn't care for it much. My feet were to big to shift, brake, and accelerate correctly. I would go to hit the throttle and I would hit the brakes too. Do I want to drive it again, um NO! You can keep that thing.

That is one nice KW!

 

When i started out with crst thats all they had the int eagle, top of the line, i laugh now, everybody was fighting at the terminal ,i wanted that eagle, mine wasnt a eagle,drove it all the way too la,ca, with no cruise, no air, no nuthen, when you shifted you had too be real careful , cause the 9 speed handel would pop out and you had too fish for the hole too pop it back in, but then what did i know i was just starting out wet behind the ears, my very first time by myself in a 18 wheeler makeing 22 cents a mile, the sleeper you had too crawl thru a tiny hole and laydown too dress that was fun, never mind about the right mirror , it flop around in the wind as the left rear panel on the cab, the jack never did work right, i use a come along en rig it that way too front axle ah the joys of your first truck,what a pieace of junk as i laugh now, hehehehehe,Everett.

 

If you want to look at some of our aerodynes over here go to xtrucking.co.nz and go to trucking company's look up JD Hickman they run a lot of them,worth a look.

 

I'm glad you guys on the other side of the world still like running them... when we restored mine we had to get some parts from Kenworth from Australia KW. Some of those parts were the LAST IN THE WORLD.

 

Found another picture of a cabover. Needs some wheels but just as technologically advanced.
