    Yeah floor mounted pivots at the bottom. I never saw a KW with anything other.

    Wasn't that so you could run the brake pedal with your left foot while you ran the fuel pedal with your right for downshifting? I still do it that way, you probably do too.

    Hi Low Max, "heel and toe" downshifting.

    I think 2006 they also did away with toggle switches and went to rockers. Mine's a 2003. I really like the way my dash, gauges, and everything in the cab looks.

    KW always had a nice dash. Remember when they looked like this? ( note the "wig-wag" low air pressure device) OH dang, old fart moment. It wasn't the big brake pedal, it was the big gas pedal. For shame. ( no one caught that? Double for shame)

    Hi IH, I drove a truck that had that pedal. A 4070 Transtar cabover, which I believe is what's shown here.
