Kenworth W model was created by jakep53
Hey guys I’m new here I just brought my first truck it’s what I believe is a 1974 kenworth W92? I have the chassis number here which is 400961 is anyone able to get me the build sheets or tell me some more info or do I have to go to kenworth for that? I’m planning on getting it up and running as a working truck and cleaning it up but by bit but it is already a really good start I will figure how to add a photo and post one up if anyone is interested!

Jake, Your Local dealer will be able to give you the Build sheet for It.. There's also a couple of Blokes on here who will most likely be able to help you..

Welcome to the forum Jake
Dunno much KW but they must be sort of ok as they sold a fare few

Dont be shy to add photos and ask questions no matter how silly they may seem
If we don't know the answer we as in the forum can almost always steer you in the right direction

Looks like a good base to start with. Even the tyres look good. Best of luck and I look forward to the progress photos.
