they B a lot better than an 'R' model rust wize

the KW cabs were mostly Alloy on a steel frame n fibreglass

the conventional KW cabs all seem to rust on the cab frame just Bhind the door handles

U can see the rust bubblin away Btween cab steel frame and the alloy panel

me thinx it iz all 2 do with not enuff air circulation

Would be good to see Mack get away from the standard lookn truck of aerodynamically design

Guessn the bulldog shaped cab may use a bucket or 2 of fuel xtra a year as it does not look aerodynamic

but hay .............. bring it on .............. go 4 it

Can vaguely remember th@ set up

they had the steersmans wheel on the RHS that steerd directly into a rightangle drive box on top of the dash and a shaft run n horizontly th@ went into nuther rightangle drive on LHS n down to the steer n box

might B very rare to grab any pix as me thinks it was under a tin cover

Just rememberd Retro Racer has a 'F' model n it may have th@ steer n set up as mentioned ...he B in Sydney Australia try PM n him

Here on D udder side of the world they tend to over engineer most things purely for survival

most heavy duty sleepers are mounted on a continuous sub frame from the front of cab to the rear of the sleeper box

so it all rides together over our ruff roads

the walk in sleeper I removed was 64 inch it only had a thing rubber type gasket to keep the water n dust out

here is the removal of the hi rize walkin sleeper from a 2010 Mack Titan

the closest hands on pic iz this one

U can see the 'R' model chassis pics tend to bow our @ front probly to allow a big power plant

Them backing plates look like aluminium

normally alloy to get the same strength as steel it needs to be a lot thicker .... and the little bit more in profile will offset the backing plate and  alter the alignment if you switch to steel ............ or vise versa

Just guessn outside the square here

A 10.00 x 20 is 20 inch rim 10 inches of rubber in height & width

11.00 x 20 would/could/should be 20 inch rim 11 inches rubber in height & width

unless U R fully loading the beast for long runs it may cut the side clearance each side of tyre by 1/2 inch
