I saw a thread on here a couple years ago about this. In that thread someone posted that the door jamb sticker of all W900L call it a W900B. Thus it would seem that W900L is not actually an official Kenworth model.
Even in the leaflet here they denote it as a W900B in both standard 120" BBC or in the "new extended 130" BBC version."![]()

If you look at 4 States, hood offerings for the W9, there’s an L model aero and a L model non aero(flat glass). I think the aero hood is around 66” in length and the flat glass is 70” in length. May want to double check me on that info.
IMO, it seems all flat glass “L” models, were “B” model cabs, which in turn kinda makes them a long hood B.Snake Farmer Thanks this. -
Actually, I cant remember why Kenworth does that. I have a W900L, but on the door sticker it says B on it. Someone heres I bet knows why they do it, and hopefully they will chime in -
Snake Farmer Thanks this.

Yes, there is a slope from the cowl to the grill, about an inch drop it looks like, and the grill is narrower than a b. The line of the hood follows the line of the cab. This, in my opinion , is why the flat window W900L is the best looking truck.Slowpoke KW, wore out, pushbroom and 3 others Thank this. -

Speaking of hood lengths, my youngest son and I went to the Walcott truck show this year and I found an old classic, that may have had the longest hood of any production truck I’ve ever seen.
