My faith in humanity has been restored(for now).
What happened was that yesterday i got real dejected and got into despair over the fact that i thought no decent trucks are being produced any more. So, after going to the international, mack, and freightliner websites and not really finding anything decent, i went to the KW site.
If you snoop around long enough on their site, you will find that yes, the K-100 is still being offered (although it's not called a k-100 anymore.)

And scroll to pages 2 and 20
Being that a KW is basically a customized truck to customer specs, i'm sure this could be spec'd out to be built into more of a highway cruiser designed to tow vans/refers etc. So, for all practical purposes this is bascially a k-100. The axle is a little set back further than what i would like, but i'm sure the factory could probably move it forward a little.

That's a C500K for export or off road use only, not for the hi-way.

You got that right!

Why, pray tell, do you want a cabover instead of a conventional???

That brochure is out of date by a lot. The tooling for the left hand drive K100 was scrapped years ago. The new K500s are built with DAF cabs. (just do a google image search for K500, you'll see plenty of them). The going price for a k500 is between 200-350k depending on how it is spec'd (i.e. the 10x10s aren't cheap)
