awesome looking old truck. love the color and the chrome. only thing that would make it more appealing to me would be if it had a cummins in it... but each to his own
love the amodel kw's there is a tanone here that runs out of nc to south carolina and florida hauling produde, with a big cam 400 and 10 spd, break my neck to look everytime i pass it on the road going the other way.
I own the straw yellow KW with the flatbed on it ,bought it in early 09 have since rebiult the 400 big cam with some help from pittsburgh power it now produces 700hp ,with an 18 speed and 3:70 rears ,makes for a real nice 1978 EXH A MODEL ,have some new pics if you would like
A models were built till 84 but all the 84's were glider kits (frame, cab, and sleeper only) so technically 83 was the last year for kw to build them.
I figured it was something like that .Thanks for that information. Was it (a model extended hood) gliders only in 84? or was it short hood a models also.
I had a retarded moment when I said A models were made up to 87. I was thinking of 359 Petes, my bad. I believe you guys are right about 82 or so being the last year.
A model was made up to 87 just fyi. By the looks of the extended hood on this KW I bet it has a air assisted hood and a V8. Very nice truck and great video.
Your right just checked the truckpaper its listed for $55k 3408 cat 9sp main 4 sp brownie. Thanks for the comment I have some friend that have a few of these a model hoods will try to get some more videos.Thanks
I wished I would have gotten the sound of the v8 under this hood but the driver must of been a sleep. Didn,t want to bother. A models rule. My dad ran one of the last made in 83 hauling produce in the late 80s Thanks for your comment.

not an A model. A model hood has about a foot of fiberglass behind the front fender.
the reason kenworth made A models was to make room for 1693 cat engines and kt 450 cummins engines and V-12 detroits.
