Lmackattack Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 With the western models the bigger hood was for bigger engine and radiators options. In the US the Air cleaners were speced... underhood,passenger side or dual. some dealers would even send the trucks to a truck "Hop up shop" to have all the stanless and chrome stuff added. these shops would finish off the truck per the dealer/owners spec request. this included things such as fifth wheel install, dump bodie installes and stainless goodies.
