Starting my daycab Kenworth

Looks very nice. I'm really liking the red. Who makes those wheels?

Thank you.....the wheels are made by Steve.
The wheels are the best mod. you can do in my opinion!

I'll be watching this build closely. There have been a few KH to Peterbilt conversions now but not so many KH to Kenworth conversions. Looking good so far! I didn't realise the front axle needs to go forward for a KW too. As far forward as a Peterbilt?

Hey Nick,I think the axle needs to be moved forward on the KH kit for any
build in my opinion.Look at the stock bumper spacing....it's way to big of a gap to be prototypical!

Thanks for the comments!

Snekey Pete,

I'm sorry to bust your bubble but the axle on an A Model if the hood is adjusted right is right in the middle.

Here is a pic of my buddy's 78 A model which I drove to this little truck show out side of Des Moines Ia last yr.








Also thought since you were doing a red and white truck this might help with the matter..............

Here is a pic of an 81 that I took in Illinois last yr with 22.5 low pro on




The black A is owned by Robbie Spencer out of Pa and it is an 82 it got most of it's look from the prior owner Justin Lang. Have seen in person still a nice ride for sure.

Good luck
Wade

You are not going to bust my bubble.....I will always take criticism!
Thank you for saying something.

I don't have a way to measure a 1:1,but just eyeballing it looks like the
stock King Hauler kit's front axle is to far back,and or the hood to short.

This is not going to be perfect anyway,but the more I do the more I learn
from all of you guys!

Thank's
