    A history report for trucks? Do they show things like overhauls, or just general history like where it has been and crash history?

    No the second gen WS are a lot roomier. They started making those right around that time l believe maybe 95? They called that model the heritage model and made it for a couple years for the die hards. I always thought they should have just extended the cab 6" called it good. I think that style is nicer looking than the new style that they use till this day.

    How is the cab room compared to say a 2000s T800? That’s what I currently drive.

    crash history, violation history etc. it wont so personal vehicle maintenance. but if it has alot of light violations then it will have wiring issues. trust me its worth it. must have truck vin.

    Day cab would be comparable. If the k-w has an aerocab sleeper l would say no comparison. If its the separate bunk it should be similar but k-w cabs are deeper. Width wise its no big deal the ws might even be a tad wider. I had an 88 t-600 and my boss had ws just like you're looking at. I drove it one trip and felt like l could barely see out the mirrors. My kw had those pillar mounted mirrors and the door mounted mirrors seemed like they were right beside my head lol

    Ask who rebuilt it.
    If it was a certified cat shop it will be in the computer system. This is the greatest thing about CAT service.
    If it were a freightliner with a Detroit good luck finding service records from any Detroit shop or the dealer.
    The odd thing is 1.2 million on truck and engine if I read correctly? So why was Inframe done at 800,000? But some people do not maintain engine properly? If Cat has info they will know why rebuilt.
