I had a guy call me the other day about moving a overweight piece of steel. I went and moved it yesterday back to one of his storage facilities. low & behold this guy has everything, & I mean everthing from the kitchen sink - laser welders - recycled concrete block - every truck size on the planet. we got to talking about older KW's he said he has 2 82's, 1 cab over and he had to have a conventional to match it. so he found a W-900 at an auction to go with it. well long story short he's willing to let the W-900 go for a real fair price. I talked to a friend yesterday that knows the truck & was the one that drove it home from the auction. he's telling me that it's in good shape for the year. I have always wanted one of the older bug eyed W-900's. I think it would make a good spare truck for when the W. Star goes down. besides when it's not being used it's something I would like to mildly customize. if I get a chance this week I'm going to go check it out. so far what I do know is 10 Alcoa's, new steers 95%, 80+% on the back 8 caps:mad: (hate caps), 3406 kitty, 13 spd, 8 bag KW suspention, dual stacks, 36" sleeper, paint is in decent shape & drives good.

mine all mine... well the bank owns it.:doah: as for the polishing it's a piece of cake, the hardest part is signing my name at the bottom of the check. actually the guy that does it treats me fair, wash, wax, & polish everything that shines for $475, about 3 times a year.

I'm not sure. This truck has had quite a bit of work done to it. We bought from a guy in Pennsylvania who restored it.
