Oh, I forgot to ask, would these be appropriate on a early 1960s Kenworth 923 or a mid-1970s Kenworth W923?

Great stuff Mark.
On my old 1:1 pete in the late '60's I think we had to take the entire fifth wheel plate with slider off and bolt the bunk on. It couldn't have been to tuff as I could do it often and fast as I logged and pulled a Hyster low bed with a rear jeep axel.

Not a truck from the PNW, these kind of setups came around in the mid 80's, all trucks up until that time had the extended frames, log trucks were "Log Trucks", not multipurpose trucks. Quick change trucks started t appear when the logging REALLY! slowed down, owner/operators could slap on the fithwheel and haul something besides logs! |

Strange statement. I had a Pete with a quick change from logs to lowboy in 1972 in Eatonville, Washington. It was a 63 or 4 and ran that way since new.

I have to agree with Mike on that statment. There were several timber companies around here that had multi purpose trucks. One in particular that I remember had logging trucking and and mills too their trucks could do everything from haul logs to haul lumber and chips their fleet was very versitle. Most logging companies had and still have their own lowboy and a lot of gyppo truck owners wanted to be able to do anything if they didn't have any logs to haul. Jim yes those stingers would be fine for the truck you are describing the slider and load cells that I pictured are more for a modern truck than a 60s and 70s truck. I will see what I can do about a pic or 2 of what Mike is describing. for the bunk and fifth wheel I have one that changes over that way too.
