Does anyone have an idea of where I can purchase a glider kit other than Fitzgerald? Im trying to make a purchase before summer hits and Fitzgerald doesnt have anything in stock until 3rd qtr.
Glider kit dealers.

Elkhorn valley truck in Fremont Nebraska, D&B trucks and equipment Glasgow Kentucky and Kustom Truck Coos Bay Oregon
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
Call your local dealer too, some do gliders but do not advertise.
-
Quality built mine. A lot of the small stand alone Western Star dealers build them as well.
-
Thompson Cat usually has several on the lot. They are Fitzgerald trucks and they all have Cat engines, so if you don't want a Cat, you can forget Thompson.
I think Thompson actually does the reman engine on the ones they sell. I'd trust Thomson more than I would Fitzgerald on reman engines, Fitz had some problems rebuilding Detroits awhile back. -
Tag truck center 573. 785. 0193. Has 14 location Texas Arkansas Missouri Kentucky Tennessee and some others
Oxbow Thanks this. -
word of mouth local trucking companies. You have to ask around. Even Cat dealers are doing gliders. My local cat dealer in lancaster has flyers about builting the glider that you want
-
Is there any chance I could get a build on a KWT660, 386, or 579? Do they also build cummins or are all mostly cat? Thanks for the help guys just trying to make a good decision.
-
They are not making the 660 and the 386 anymore, the 680 and 579 replaced them.. the only place I know who builds 579 glider is fitz. Shame tho. I liked the 660 and 386 both.. the 579 looks to be a pretty sweet Truck specd right tho..
Cw5110 Thanks this.
