Nice W900L and Trailer

I have been looking around at trucks and trailers quite a bit lately, wont be buying one again until next year. If I was getting back into one today this is probably what id buy.



Its a sharp lookin studio sleeper, 435 CAT 3406E and a 15 speed. Has 3.90 rears.

cant belive all they are asking for this thing is $16,500, I bet if a guy had 15,000 cash they would not turn you away.

Thinking about it 2 years ago this would have probably been a 50,000.00 truck. That is nuts.

If I got this one id paint the front fenders all white again, and id put a set of full fenders on it in white. then do the frame red, get a Doonan like this one to drag behind it.



Id get some red pin striping on the tractor and fenders, add a set of quarter fenders to the trailer painted white with the same treatment, also a set of twin 36x24x24" boxes between the spread would be in order, the 18x18x60's are just too small for me.

A set of ramps that could be stowed in the throat box on the trailer would be must too.

I would also want a 30" drom with a set of boxes under it as well. And id probably take the cab extensions off the sleeper.

 

It is an 96, the mileage isnt listed, thus im sure it is a million +

When I buy a truck that is pretty much what im going to look for because im going to spend about a year rebuilding it, going to do an out of frame on the motor, build it up signifigantly, put a brand spankin new 18 speed in, and go through the rear ends, also new air lines, brakes ect...

 

It is the removable sleeper. And now that I think about it, I am thinking back in 05/06 which has been just a little while.

I am actually kind of torn on which one I want because I do like the divider curtain in the modular sleeper better, but with the aero cab you can put captians chairs in it and it makes the inside of the truck feel bigger.

I do like the cab with the modular sleeper better, and the hood fits better in my oppinion.

 

I am really hesitant to buy an 01 or newer, because when I bought my 2000 it had one of the last 3406E's in it, was a great motor, never left me stranded, pulled hard, got the job done. The only thing I didnt like was it had a pac brake instead of a jake.

2 of the guys I was running with bought 01's with the C-15 in them, they had a ton of trouble and there were many times where my truck was sitting in the shop next to thiers where mine was getting an oil change, thiers were getting work done on the motor.

I have also thought a lot about buying a glider, but some one told me Kenworth wont sell you one any more so I dont know.
