    Yeah cept this one was built by the Trick my truck fellas, and is in Australia now, well, and far from stock.
    Just missing the suicide doors, wait that Prostar has em.

    March of 2007, the boys went to Joplin, Missouri to visit Bryan Martin at 4-State Trucks and to prepare a few trucks they had purchased to ship home. One of these trucks was the James Bond inspired, 1989 “007” W900L Kenworth seen here and on the cover/centerfold this month. The truck was build #9, which means that it was the 9th W900L ever produced by Kenworth. The W900L was not officially offered by Kenworth until 1990, and these limited edition trucks were the first to debut the extended hood model that became so popular. The 250-inch long truck had a new 3406-C Cat engine and a good transmission, but the rest of it was pretty worn out. After taking the truck apart and loading it into a 40-foot shipping container, the boys went home and planned out the project, as it takes three months for a shipping container to finally reach their shores. The truck arrived at the shop in July of 2007 and the boys, with the help of friend Barry Lewis, went right to work, stripping it down to the bare frame rails. The build proved to be a tough one, as time was getting harder and harder to come by for the Klos Brothers. Many late nights were put into building the “007” Kenworth, but it was a labor of love. There was a buzz in the local trucking community about this truck – people couldn’t wait to see what it was going to look like when it was completed. And with a shop full of custom accessories at their fingertips, they went for a “less is more” approach, staying away from the “chicken truck” style. But it didn’t really matter what style they were going for – this truck was not going to look like anything else on the roads in Australia.
    The truck is powered by a 425 Cat, hooked to a 13-speed transmission and 3.73 rears, riding on an Air-Glide 100 rear suspension. The boys stretched the frame to 288 inches and installed a 12-Gauge slam kit to get the front of the truck lower and a 12-Gauge flip kit to protect the 22-inch Valley Chrome bumper from banging the ground. Then, they painted the truck in its original colors, added 7-inch Dynaflex pipes, Vortex breathers and Hogebuilt fenders. Most everything else on this rig was handmade by the boys in their shop – they even pinstriped the frame from bumper to bumper! And as a finishing touch, the brothers painted their 3-axle dry van black and redid everything on it so they could proudly pull it behind the “007” Kenworth. The boys use this trailer as their “lounge” when attending the local Australian truck shows.
