    that yours? That's good looking. Friend of mine has a very similar truck. All original and never refurbished. I'll get some pics for here..

    Nope, not mine. Got it off of Facebook, it stood out in my mind.

    This is mine, still quite a bit to do, but it is coming along. It sat in a shop since 1993 until last January when I bought it.

    Here is the other K100, it needs a rear end and a fifth wheel and then who knows what problems will come up. This is the shortest of the three trucks at 170" wheelbase.

    It would be real hard to have to choose between the W900A and the 359. I probably would choose the W900A even though I don't own one its just luck I guess that mine are Petes it just worked out that way.
    The green one with the stripes is a V8 Cat I couldn't ever use it because of fuel, but would make a puller out of it if I had the knowledge and money even though I don't think the 3408 is ideal as a puller.
    The red and black one I depend on every day, that is what it looked like when I brought it home. If I hadn't already had a love affair with it I wouldn't have ever brought it home.
    The one hooked to the wagon is a real nice truck to. All Caterpillers.

    In no particular order. My favorites of all time. ( we all know what an A model W9 and a 359 looks like so won't post that)
