Popular Post BAD DOG Posted August 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2013 Saw this in my travels yesterday. Not sure on the year of it but it looks to have a W900A hood, I think the guy custom built the cab, a couple years ago I saw it outside where he's from back when he was working on it. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32341-kw-4-door/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't come up with any other thought at the moment.The trailers had data recorders and sensors. the TRW engineers ran real time, real life product tests on their and competitors products.

Green Dash Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I recollect this was at the Clatterpillar Testicle Center back in the day. Likely a 3408?KW changed the style of the doors a few years before the 3408 came out. That's not saying a 3408 didn't eventually find it's way in there.
