No problem! I'm liking this.
I sold my 1980 KW. Thanks for trying to follow my disjointed attempt at a thread. I sold it as a tractor and bought a T800 for my water truck...
Hijack away! I'm learning too. My set up is very similar to Oldman's but I did it on a W900L which has the steering box forward of the axle. I had...
oldman83, I think you are right about the spring - pretty sure that's the one I used. I also used the Paccar rear spring hanger which gets rid of...
jaffles, I built my own using a single KW airbag, Peterbilt springs and double shocks. I looked a a lot of these in person and on line before I...
I'm finishing the truck as a tractor in order to sell it. I have another project that I want to start. I haven't been good about taking pics...
I agree. If your frame is level it must be your cab mounts. They squish down eventually, especially on the driver's side.
OK. I'm not sure how that works, but I'll look for it.
Sure. $200+shipping. Let me know your zip code if you want me to send them. I'm going to The Dalles, Or on Thurs. if that helps.
I am curious about putting stud piloted 315 or 385's on a water truck. Are the wheels still available? My local dealer say I have to buy 22.5 hub...
Finished with the air cleaners. I'm going to put the old ones on Ebay for $200/pair + shipping. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Next up will...
Well I'm back at it. If there's anybody still watching this, I loaded a few more pics. Next are the air cleaners. I found some 7" x "6 inlet boots...
The floors in mine were 1". I replaced with the same and finished with varnish both sides before I put them in.
I think I will finish it as a tractor. It just doesn't seem right for my water tank. I put it back in the shop and plan to get back after it.
I have put in several hucks at a time and duct taped the heads to the skin so I can go inside and pull the rivets by myself. I think clecos would...
Those look like a good deal. I've never used them but if you're putting on skin by your self they would be the ticket!
Thanks. I am tempted to make it a tractor, I have an airslide 5th wheel and deck plates etc., but I don't know what I would do with it. I probably...
Well this is probably all for a little while. I put the new steer tires on and a pair of quarter fenders. I have some other stuff that needs to go...
Yup. If I build it into a water truck I want to have the front brakes. The main I used to remove them was for slick roads. I had one lock up on a...
I was putting on new steer tires and thought I better have a look at the wheel bearings. I figured I would have to replace them but they were...
