W900 rebuild

I know I like to look at rebuild threads and you tube videos, I guess because I can’t get enough first hand even though we are always rebuilding something. I figured I would put up some pictures of the w900 we are trying to get done now.
Maybe @Ruthless wants to tell me what I am doing wrong…..

 

on the way home from Kansas
so this is what we started with.
It’s a 1985 with a good running 3406 and 13 speed

 

this is approximately where we’re going with this project

 

goodbye 4 spring suspension and tired eaton 402s

 

removing the cab

 

some old mower shipping crates made a good pallet to move the cab around

 

working on drilling new mounting holes for the airliner….hopefully that’s not a crime to put freightliner parts on a kw

a little reality check on my drill guide and measurements

 

the engine is gone now to and unfortunately the truck is being used for a welding rack….we have way to many of these arms right now
Good riddance to these miserable things.

 

And hopefully we will be back to working on the truck project tomorrow. Instead of literally working on it
