1980 K100 Cabover Project/daily runner

Ive had cab overs all my life.
Before i sold my last kw coe parts for interior and coe specific were getting obsolete or discontinued. If they did have any new old stock that was coe specific you practicaly had to sell your kidney to pay for it. A lot of stuff you might have to find used at salvage yards.
Kw pricing for anything coe is just retarded. Good luck.

 

power packer still makes the pumps and rams. i believe they made most of the oem stuff. still in business.

 

Is the aluminium frame going give me problems? Going hopefully run hopper bottom/sugar beets/other thing. Building it hopefully in 6 months it'll be ready to start running. I plan to put all new tires brakes drums and put a smaller steering wheel in there. (Has power steering) the dog bone bushing and few other bushings are weathered but not horrible. I just want to replace all hoses, brakes, and few other things to get her looking good and running good so i don't have to much issues. For the money I'm paying I'm getting it for a steal with a overhauled motor. One who overhauled the Cummins lives 20 miles from me I know him so that's a plus. What's up with the wierd lugs? Never seen any without washers on them? Thankful of all the comments from everyone

 

Inner and outer lug nuts. Those rims are not hub piloted. Be careful when buying new rims if you have too. Make sure you tell them that. I drove a 74 Kw w9 that had a alum frame with torsion bar suspension
The green and yellow paint on your trk tells me at one time that trk was leased to International Transport out if Rochester Mn. At one time you had to paint the trk their colors to be leased to them. Oh the good old days

 

DANGER Will Robinson, DANGER!

Make sure you thoroughly inspect that frame for cracks and corrosion, especially where any steel is touching.

 

The rims are 10 hole bud wheels . The frame is just something you need to keep an eye on . It's not something to worry about but just be aware of the chance that it can happen .

 

These rims have markings on them from when they were on a truck with regular lugs with washers. Is that an issue? I don't know bunch about these as i am going to be learning as i go. I am a backyard mechanic for cars. Can't seem to find much info anywhere been reading alot of threads here

 

If it's AG 100 suspension I have the part numbers in my filing cabinet, just replaced all 8 on my KW W900L.

 

Have part #'S for the brackets as well if you need them. And sway bar bushings, replaced them too lol.

 

I put a lot of miles on this one with a Cummins 400 / 13 spd, Armstrong steering.
