Classics from the past.....I was going through some old pics and found the pic of this ol KW I use to drive, it was a 1978 model with 400 small cam, 13sp, NO POWER STEERING, NO JAKES, AND NO WORKING A/C, but I didn't really care most of the trucks I drove didn't have power steering, heck I thought that was something for the rich or the candyankles.....but I sure enjoy it now. The cabover pete I found setting in Northern Alabama a few months ago and just took a pic of it, it has a V-8 Detroit under the cab, possibly/maybe a 92 series from the big aluminun valve covers and turbo.

Does anybody know about fitting seats into old cabovers? Any special size considerations I need to keep in mind? The set that's in my K100 isn't too bad, but they still look to be at least 10 years old, if not older, and are a little torn up. I'd like to get something up in the $800/seat price range that isn't incredibly tall.

Those are some nice looking cabovers. Didn't know they had the wide bumpers back in 78.

 

Barroll- my '83 took the same seats as our long-nose. Trucks look different but you still sit the same, just higher up!

 

Alright. Just wanted to make sure I could clear the doghouse and that metal panel that the seat is wedged up against.

Is there room for arm rests on both sides too?

 

is that flatbed ore container chassis?

i cant understand why they pull trailers like drawbar ones

i think it is better to pull them as semtrailer this does not need ballast on 5th wheel and you get lower gross weight for 20-23t

 

I've often wondered about that
