41chevy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I like KW's up to about the very early 1970's before plastic and vinyl arrived in force. The older ones have personality like MACK. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54476-guess-the-year-of-this-kw/#findComment-407438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Truck Shop Posted October 7, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2018 I like damn near anything from 81 down. Old trucks have character, new trucks look look like a egg with small fins, can't tell one from another. And less reliable. Had a two reps from Freightliner-Portland in the shop a month ago discussing issues. I don't think they were impressed with me. I told them it's a good thing they don't build airplanes.

Truck Shop I've got a few 70's 80's MACKS and 3 Marmons and a CCC / AM GEneral M917 dump for my business no Paacar or Navistar would last a year in my line of work. I've tipped the scale with the M917 over 95,000 a few times, never even strained it. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54476-guess-the-year-of-this-kw/#findComment-407453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the truck was bought low bid and it spends more time in the shop then on the road. He told me what engine was in the truck. I wasn't paying attention but I did gather from the conversation the engine was a real turd. Old or new, if it isn't a Mack I'm not interested. had I think the title of this forum is Other Trucks. But I agree there are things everyone does not care for, for me it's anything east of the Rockies.

Hobert62 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I like other trucks. That's why I look in the other truck makes forum. Post away with pics of those classy KW's.

That's the same as comparing a chevette to a corvette, both chevys. (Bad example because I'm not a corvette fan, but you get the point) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54476-guess-the-year-of-this-kw/#findComment-407502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Not impressed with any unit after mid 90's with electronics including a Mack. New have to many issues and the earlier ones have an issue getting electronic spares.

Truck Shop Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Well now I have to ask- I ran across two un-restored AC Macks and another that is restored today as a matter of fact. Now with those Mack's were two 30's KW's and a 1939 Pete. Now I have to go back to the salvage yard in the very near future to pickup the steer axle and other parts that were given to me for my B75 by the owner. And I'am going to get pic's. Big question does anybody want to see pics of the AC Macks. If so am I going to hear flack about the KW's and Pete I post under {Other Trucks}?
