Is an a extended hood ....room for king of the hill k block buzzin dozen detroit or never late v8

[PHONEMIKEEEEE]

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.

[joshjesch]

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

[johnnylee805]

old skool thats all i can say

[redneck7006]

Good looking old A model would love to have one like that stretched out to about 300 inch wheel base with the 1693 cat and a 13 spd. with a 4 spd aux

[truckingup1]

[hanks1961kw]

Yes your right hope it didn't get a ticket.

[702hyerider]

[otisloghauler1]

very very nice truck, thats my dream truck old school.

[hanks1961kw]

One of my favorite trucks also.

[W900exh]

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

[ipdaily6]

thats a nice rig would have loved to hear it roll with the 18litre cat v8....

[hanks1961kw]

It must sound real cool. I have a friend that owns a peterbilt 359 with a big Cat 3408 and it scares the hell out of anyone.

[KYLEMORICE]

man that truck is bad ass

[hanks1961kw]

I sure thought so too.

[thecommentking1989]

drop in an 18 speed and paint it black, i'll take it.

[hanks1961kw]

Well look it up on the truckpaper I think it's still listed.

[YB49887]

WOW  a 3408 v8 nice in eurpe we have 16.4 liter v8s but this truck looks soo much better

[hanks1961kw]

I wish i had the money to buy it This truck is for sale for $55,000. Great looking rig.

[pete359l]

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.

[hanks1961kw]

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.

[pete359l]

short and long hood gliders in 84'

[hanks1961kw]

good 2 know thanks for that insight like ur w900a vid looking forward 2 more of ur videos

[poorboy126]

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.

[poorboy126]

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.

[hanks1961kw]

You sure the a model went up to 87 I've never seen one that new.

[rezst88]

me neither....i do know they used the a model cab on the C500 kenworths well into the late 80s

[rezst88]

5-6-09 just saw this same truck on truckpaper for sale NICE TRUCK 2 stick too.

[hanks1961kw]

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

[hanks1961kw]

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.

[w900a73]

Great truck those extended hood A models are getting rare. Love seeing them, thanks for sharing.
