my new hobby truck
Well I have been quite on the board for a a month or so because I have been working a deal on a real Kenworth cabover and landed the deal finally over the weekend. 79 big cab with small cam cummins, 13 spd, 3:70 rears on pete 359 airride with brand new brakes, drums, wheel seals and batteries. It has twin stacks and breathers and both breathers go to a cartrage on either side of the truck which is cool.

Re: my new hobby truck
Congrats, Wade! You lucky dog. So what are your plans for the KW? Just some little custom touches here and there, as you can afford it, or something more, like paint, a restoration, engine overhaul, ect? How many miles has she got on her? Just a truck for running to a show now and then, or maybe some weekend hauling on the side?

Re: my new hobby truck
Thanks,
For now just clean it up good and get everything working on the truck and take it to some shows and parades and sign it up for the ATHS. Then a yr or so down the road when I get money ahead again start going through the truck good and putting on some bling at the same time as it warrants. I might do some light weekend work but it tough to justify the cost to run the insurance and heavy highway use tax and the fuel especially at $3 gal and the truck holds 240 |

Re: my new hobby truck
Wade and I were going over the truck on the phone last night on the game plan for getting the KW all shaped up and we are thinking the paint is not in bad shape going to try to buff and wax it first and all the chrome we have a plan for that too so...ONWARD..
