[Diedelson]

The KW I drove for Overseas Freight Forwarders on O`ahu had powersteering,

by BigHawaiian...I got out of prison with 22 1/2" arms & weighed in @ 275...no neck...

LOL

[hanks1961kw]

@SteelKahuna I gotta eat wheaties to drive this old truck. I always break a sweat every time I drive it.LOL

It's gettng power steering this coming year for sure.

[SteelKahuna]

Hawaiian Chilipeppers aka: "Hawaiian Steroids" will work...plus 245 lb. curls for @ least 9 months. Then later put some 11R 24.5" w/Steel rims on an Eleiko bar (4) w/hubs & drums included...when you can warm up @ 15 reps you should be able to turn yer steering without being in motion...LOL

[hanks1961kw]

I was thinking more like a ross steering box ,a vickers ps pump , a reservoir and some hoses. LOL

[SteelKahuna]

Ross been around a long time...did Pete steerings too. I had a set-up for the W-925

I drove...but I wasn't going to pick it up from George Grace & put it in a truck I didn't own...

[hanks1961kw]

@SteelKahuna Well I own these puppy so it's getting one.

[SteelKahuna]

Good deal...there are still some Ross set up's to be had out there...

[kenworthK100234]

[hanks1961kw]

@kenworthK100234 You should see the finished result. We got third place for non working antique at a local truck show in Octuber. Check out some pictures on flickr have under 1961 kenworth or 61 kenworth. Will try to make some other videos.

[rcychowski]

[hanks1961kw]

thanks, it's not as good as your pete. this was a amature job with no money but it's a start

[rcychowski]

lol lol the pete was done with not much money but alot of long nights with friends

[hanks1961kw]

Same here me and my two brothers resuricted this truck from the death in a month little money and lots of work

[usarmyscoobie89]

i think this truck would rele look like a rat rod if u put the single wide tires on the back that truck would be on point

[hanks1961kw]

Probably right but a no money situation this was the best we came up with.Thanks for your insight.

[usarmyscoobie89]

yea yea i understand

[JayShawn89]

you know when a guy loves his trucks he can quote every part and manufacturing number of every componet on the truck by heart

[hanks1961kw]

Your right I love this old iron and yes I know the components well.From the engine, transmissions, wheels and what other parts I still need to finish it and get it going Thanks for your comment.
