W9L factory hood options

I saw a thread on here a couple years ago about this. In that thread someone posted that the door jamb sticker of all W900L call it a W900B. Thus it would seem that W900L is not actually an official Kenworth model.


Even in the leaflet here they denote it as a W900B in both standard 120" BBC or in the "new extended 130" BBC version."

 

Ohhhh I see what you're saying now.

Actually, I cant remember why Kenworth does that. I have a W900L, but on the door sticker it says B on it. Someone heres I bet knows why they do it, and hopefully they will chime in

 

I know @pushbroom works at a pete dealer but he might know KW’s as well. I think it might say “B” on it as its more referring to the cab style. I do know that the T600, T660, T800 and W900 cabs where pretty much all the same on the outside. Just like a lot of pete’s share the same cabs.

 

B cab. New ones are 2.1M?

 

Some. Mine is a 1994 and the door jamb, until I got it painted, said W900L not w900b

 

According to Jones Hoods, their hood will fit all years.

Yes, there is a slope from the cowl to the grill, about an inch drop it looks like, and the grill is narrower than a b. The line of the hood follows the line of the cab. This, in my opinion , is why the flat window W900L is the best looking truck.

 

Dont know much about kws. I try to avoid them
