Hay kenworthfreak. Ive allways loved them my self, but the old w/model & SAR are by far the ones i loved drivin the most. Im not a fan of all this new gagets curise control, air bags, auto g/boxes, speed limaters, bring back the good old days.

I have a question for pat or anyone else that might know.On the ford is the air intake the same as a north american version,just on the left instead of right side or a different set up all together?I 'm thinking of getting the aussie parts from DMTW to do one.The only reason I'm thinking ford for a conversion is I have one more in stock.

G'day plastictrucker i had 2 go thru my pics. The LNT9000-Ford i drove had the intake on the left side ( it had a 692TTA GM) all the other pics show it on the right. The LTS9000 on the left as well. If u like will put sum pics up if u would like.

Yes,the more reference photos the better.After I posted my question I remembered about a post about Aussie trucks in the truckers lounge.All but one ford had intakes on the right.Maybe the engine dictates location

Hay plastictrucker that would be my guess 2 that it depens on the engine. I took most of them in the 80's so thay not the best, sorry. As far as i know the pics ive got of the LNT's had cummins ether 903s or 350s exept the blue & silver louie 6V92TTA. The bunkers, deans & toll LTS all had series 60s. Ill get the pics up 4 u shortly. Hope thay help.

[pat]

I hope these mite give u sum help.

6V92TTA in this.


a cummins in this i think.

A 903 cummins in this.


I think this woz a 400 cummins.

Not shaw about this one a 903 maybe.

Again i hope these will give u sum idea. All the best pat.
