    I didn't get alot of work done to the k100 over the weekend. But what I did manage to do was get it reclassified and registered as a motorhome which removes the requirement for a CDL. I now have the coolest motorhome in town haha

    Hello flipper, Did figure out your air line and electrical issue? I have a junk 76 cab out back and could send a pic if needed. I just now ran across this forum because I was thinking of putting my 82 k100 back on the road. Didn't know so many people loved the old cabs. I need my butt kicked for letting so many parts sit out in the weather. I also have junk 82 along with my complete 82. Signed up with k100 club on Facebook and will post pics when I get when I get her ready to roll. It's sitting out back for 8 years with 10 miles on a fresh inframe. Started up a couple days ago, still runs great. Cat 3406A 350hp. Had to oil wiper motors and air valves every thing else seems to be ok. Good luck. Maybe you might see me on the road if you ever come down south. I will only be running southeast.
     
    SmallPackage Thanks this.

    I did yes. The air line was the one to the rear tractor parking breaks. It had been punctured when that wire heated up. That has since been fixed and the breaks are working great. Additionally I ran a new wire to the new fuel solenoid and that is working good. I still have a few electrical things to work out like getting the headlights, running lights, and tail lights to work, among other things.

    Sounds like you have a lot of fun work ahead of you! Where are you from exactly? Id love to see pictures of the 76 cab you have. If you are willing and wanting to sell some parts off of it, depending on what there, I may be interested.
