Very nice Newto, when I looked at the SAR the other day with a KT in it, I was surprised that they are very similar in size to a NTC.

hi BC,
yeah dimensions are similar.....weight is a lot more though.
the biggest drawback was the weight over the front axle.

hi john,
answer is nooooooo,
the LNT bonnet wasn't quite long enough to fit a V8-903 under comfortably...if the 903 had jakes we had to cut a hole in the floor to fit the higher rocker covers......the LTL's were long enough to fit a 6 cylinder ahead of the firewall.

so with Wrighty's gadget he had to move the whole cab (and everything else,wiring,plumbing etc) rearwards to fit the longer bonnet.....everything changes....including mounts,linkages yada,yada.
