Way back when the yanks never liked front brakes as they would lose the steering on ice & sno etc
If U get my drift ...... they even went to tall rubber to increase the footprint
front brakes on a KW were like bicycle brakes with only a 4 inch wide brake drum

a Kw set up as a ridgid spose U need all the brakes can get

I adopted this C500 (3406B 15RR) for four years, it was rated at 135 tons and rode quite rough with light loads but at least it always got you home. I don’t know if it’s just me but I occasionally hit my head climbing into cab over Kenworths so not a fan, but you have to drive the truck that the boss buys.

here's one I was going thru the motions of importing to Australia last year but got sold while going thru the hoops to import 

would of been very different in Australia

Wouldn't mind an L700. This one lives around the corner from me.

 

K125 I wanted to buy years ago. ex Detroit , still sitting there.

 

 

 Makes for some interesting reafing

the fuel economy is pretty impressive as well, give a Thermodyne or Econodyne Mack a run for its money
