T800 short hood long hood

I drove a T 800 several years ago, and I never knew there were two different hood lengths. With that in mind, I guess I'd just buy what's best for your use. I would assume the shorter wheel base is more maneuverable then the longer one, but 7" shouldn't really make much difference, unless you need the 7" of room to park it.

 

I've seen both hoods. I'd keep ease of access in mind if I were buying a new truck and had your options. It's easier to perform maintenance with the longer hood.

 

It's not consider as short hood like t600 or t660.

If your ordering it with a small motor I don't think itreally matters Its prepreference. If u order a 15 liter motor I think u can only get the standard hood cause of the size of radiator for cooling. If u get a smaller liter motor you'll get a smaller cooling withstub nose. I'd rather have most cooling for hills and hot days

 

if smaller engine like c-12. T800 are available as gliders. Factory installed engines are cat acert (c-13, c-15) and isx egr.

 

There's actually 4 or 5 hoods for the t800. The t800sh is the short hood, and I would advise against that due to lack of access. You also can only get small motors with it, probably only the ism and mx13. I have a regular t800 with a Detroit and access is hard enough.
