This is what I've been saying. The FMCSA doesn't care if you run foul of the EPA. They will let the EPA deal with emissions violators.

To answer your question, not sure off the top of my head but I know earlier than this truck....
1978 model Glider I use to drive for Mr. Gue.
Originally bought by Homer Wetherholt of H&W Trucking in Ona. I watched this truck being built when it was new, never knowing years later I would be running Texas and back with it.

My truck is a Glider built by Kenworth in 1994, and titled in 1995. Truck vin ends in “GL” and is only 7 digits minus the GL.

It also state, that it works both ways, if you put a newer than 99 engine in an old truck, it is not eld exempt.
OLDSKOOLERnWV and mp4694330 Thank this. -

As stated above, the FMCSA doesn’t care if you swap an old engine into a new truck that isn’t a glider. The only issue will be if the EPA decides to crack down on it.
Bean Jr. and Roberts450 Thank this. -

Read somewhere it was in the 50's trying to find article.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
The glider kit was to replace a truck that had crashed with your engine and drive train at a cheaper cost than buying a whole new truck.
Bean Jr. Thanks this.
