41chevy Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 This is a 1954 K.W. High Mount, looks pretty much the same until about 1959 when they went to Quad Lights. Power is most likely a Cummins . Sweet K.W.

HeavyGunner Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Look at all those log trucks! Great pics.

BillyT Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I hated when they went to dual headlamps,liked the 681-c guides.But you can't blame the manufacturers they had to make it look "modern" to sell trucks! Actually when the B model and R models came out they were the most "modern" looking trucks in America.

B MACK Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah, they had to change them and make 'em modern looking. Now everyone likes the older "classic" ones. I do like the new big power and comfort of the new ones, but really love the looks of the older ones.

And I think there are several married Spicer transmissions also. Just a place to keep his treasures.
