where to find the chassis number on a K100 KW

Ok guys it looks like we have a few people looking to find the chassis number on Kenworth K100s ... For the record that is the basic model designation for the K123-K124-K125s.

I recently had the pleasure to look over one and got these photos.

This is the area to look in .... Behind the gearshift tower



And this is what it looks like

Wow, that would be a pretty special number..?? Any more info or pics, or have I missed them in another thread? :-[

Will try to get that info and photos of #21 when I can, cheers Pat

.....cooooool number mate....

Yes I did Swishy .... You can see the last number has been changed.

Because I was allowed access through a mutual friend I was askedd to not reveal too much

It is a special one though

....the first day of April was pretty hot down here eh Werk....

...not too hot to be foolin' around with old trucks though! ...

Dunno about up there but it was quite a lot cooler here yesterday.

And no this is not an April Fool joke .... This is a special one

In my years spent at the old KW workshop at Footscray and my couple of years at Bayswater, they also stamped the chassis number on the top flange of the bumper or bull-bar (drivers side). Theses won't be as accurate as the one stamped in the RHS chassis rail, but you will now if your jigger still has the original bumper/bull-bar.

Yes that is also a good place to look .... BUT as you said they got swapped about .... I know TNT reused a lot of bull bars on their K100s. But I was recently informed of another way to tell if your TNT K100 had a bull bar from new ....

.... You want to do the honours Detective ?
