Kenworth

[couesaddict]

Yeah it doesn’t have brakes on the steer axle either but the driver reminded him the year of the truck and that they didn’t come with them. Officer had no idea. Pretty sure it’s the oldest truck he’s ever inspected.

Well the 73 Kenworth has a windshield washer system now.

Look at that!

My K-Dubs get PDI’d in South Carolina and when they get to Alaska, the washer reservoirs are frozen and cracked. Sorry Coaldust, we can’t get -40F washer fluid in Spartanburg.

Looks good, I had a junk model 1954 S IH cab that used the washer system in one.
It's what ever works to make them happy.

Sure they can, just dump a little cheap rate Jim Beam in reservoir.

Still irritates me that it came to this. It really wasn’t a hard install but I’m kinda hung up on the principle of the whole matter. He did a full roadside inspection on a 1973 Kenworth and because he couldn’t find anything wrong or unsafe he had to throw this in my lap. Like I have nothing else to do…. I did 8 tires and a pile of other stuff yesterday then a transmission in a truck this morning and this install this afternoon. The truck had glass cleaner and paper towels in it so it wasn’t like there was an excuse for driving with a dirty windshield.

If DOT did a level 3 inspection--he was apt to write up something.

You still have time to dispute it. Use the new
FMCSA DataQs system portal. I think you have 45 days.

Waste of time at this point, just takes more time out of the day.

Well, yeah.

The KW in my avatar got wrote up for not having linens on the sleeper mattress.

Driving two miles between the methanol plant at the Port of Anchorage and the Alaska Rail Road Terminal, two miles away where we filled the trail cars. lol

I have a image/copy of a WSP inspection, when I was towing my Mack to a truck show
in Pasco Wa. Pulled over asked for papers, came back and asked if she could take some
photos of the Mack--had been following for five miles. I have the inspection report in a
PFD file. Was all good, just wanted photos of my Mack, On the inspection under {Shipper}
it said {owner of a incredible Mack truck}

I thought you said dual stacks were dumb. In all seriousness, great job on the restoration!

In all seriousness----yes, it would have been much cheaper with one. A huge mistake
in the conjuring of ideas to make retro. I will have to rescan that inspection from pdf
file to jpeg. Not many have been pulled over to have cops do a photo shoot, while
there another WSP stopped as backup to get photos.
