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...
