Trucks

T-680 look like freightliner

 

I don't know if it had a model number but a needle nose kw is like a w900L except the hood is thinner if you will than today's version. Old school right there.

 

Thanks,I love w900l,if they have it hybrid,I will change my t660 for it,but now I stick with t660. It save me a lot of fuel ...

 

Gokiddogo,that a nice w900l,keep it shine driver,

 

I think the w900 l hood look way better than Pete 379,379 just square,w900l look rich n beautiful ,I called it king of King of the road.

 

Not mine, just pulled it off google images. My truck is not shiny and doesn't need to be in the spotlight. But it makes me good coin In time, I will have a show truck someday. If my local KW dealer wasn't such a useless fool, I would possibly buy another in the future. I like the 389 just as much as the w900L.

 

yessir exactly. not sure but I want to say it was an '81 went at auction for 2 grand and I could have driven it home. kick myself almost every day for not snatching it up.

course it didn't look as pretty as that pic.

first truck I ever drove as civilian was a '71 Pete. God that thing was rough as hell. a smooth RR track would have you smacking your head on the headliner. LOL she was 20 years old when I got to drive her.

funny back then my road test was ..."can you drive?" me: "yeah I think I could handle it" owner: "ok let's go see, hang on let me get my daughter". he proceeds to put his 3 yr old daughter in the sleeper. he takes down a couple country roads, shows me how the 13 spd trans works. pulls into a gas stop.

gets out for coffee. as we come out he says "well I got us here, if you get us home you got the job".

My first day of training was a snowstorm in Milw going down to Chicago.

God I miss those days just thinking about it.


I wasn't a complete newb, I was a gun driver in the Army. Drove Howitzers, as well as being the commanders driver, even drove Gen Vouno around once.

 

for those with a good memory. yes CDL started in '90 but I missed having to do a DMV roadtest literally by weeks.
