New Cat Hauler

[Packrat]

Hi Folks,
I was away for a while and missed the last few replies to this post. Thank you all for this information, it is just what I was hoping for. I am going to check into these insurance companies. Jason, your KW is beautiful and I'm green with envy but I didn't have that budget. Mine is a 1986 GMC Gereral so maybe I've got to wait till next year to do the historic thing. Thanks to all again.

Packrat, i hope your not tall like me (6'3"). If you are your going to cuss the cab height on the General! Autocar is the same way.

SJ- If a mack has got gold bulldogs then its a purebred/ mack everything eng., trany, drivers.
If its a silver bulldog it can be anything. This used to be the rule but being how old these trucks are and how easy it is to install something else they are far from factory original equiped

Yellowiron,
Naw, I'm only 6'0" but I see what you're saying, that cab's none too big. That crude but nifty "tilt wheel" helps make it acceptable. My last truck was a 1985 KW (3406 Cat power so this conversation is OK) and I always wished the cab was back a few inches. I don't plan on spending long hours in the General so it'll be just fine. Can't wait to haul my D2 and D130000 gen set into the Alexander Steam Show some day. Have a good one.
