    The guy I work for/with has a 73 w900a, not restored, and still in use. It tends to stay within a couple hundred miles of the barn, but it is out and working almost every day. 400 big cam 3, 206" wheelbase, with a bunk.

    I recently acquired a 77 daycab which I plan to fully restore to show quality and drive daily. It has a 400 big cam II cummins and a 13 speed gearbox. It was my dads and it has become a family project. Photos to come.
