    Hi, guys!

    Anyone knows what model year this KW T800 is? If you fast-forward to 6:00, you can see the whole truck. Thanks

    The dash is a pre-2006. In fact the dash looks like a '96 I drove.

    Thanks, Sublime. The driver mentioned on another video that it was a 9-speed. Does that help to narrow it down...?

    The square turn signals on the dash would indicate pre 2000.

    We had an 87 t600 that had that exact same dash and hood... Also had a 91 model t600 with that hood and dash.... Not sure when they changed the dash over... I would say 90ish model..

    Nope, There have been 9 spd's forever and the T800 outside hasn't changed much as far as I know. The dash would be a decent indicator. Why does it matter what year it is? Just curious.

    It has the pre-02 dash, and a flat windshield I feel like Kenworth stopped offering the flat windshield in like 98. There is no telling for sure, but my guess would be pre 95'.

    Looks like after 1980s kenworth. We have a 1988 T800 that looks exactly the same like on the video. This truck has non aerocab sleeper.

    The hi beam and turn indicators are tight to each other. The light down between the speedo and tach is for the parking brake. That should narrow down the year. I do recall ever seeing the top three indicators tight to each other.
