    In 1979 I drove a '78 K100 w/a 430 Detroit, 13 O/D, & 3.70 Rears. It got the job done !!! I was leased to "Refrigerated Transport" (Atlanta, Ga.) & ran Long-Haul OTR. (A LOT of 'Swingin' Meat) - "Those were the days my friend, I thought would never end" :-( Thanks for the video

    First semi truck was an 84 K100 with a 400 Cummins and a 13 speed. The truck that made me fall in love with trucking was a K100E with a Silver 8V92 and an Allison auto. That thing was soooooooo beautiful. If I never saw that cabover, I would have gone white collar with my profession😊

    Great truck video...nothing & I MEAN NOTHING LIKE A KW K100 C/O!!! Excellent song choice. I've been a truck driver for close to 30 yrs now. I've wanted to drive since the 1st time my Uncle Don took me on a trip in 1977 when we lived in Dothan Alabama & I was 8 yrs old. In 1991, when I turned 21 I hit the road before CDL's were instated. I'm 50 now...AND STILL LOVE IT!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN TRUCKERS GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN TRUCKING FAMILY... BUT MOST OF ALL... GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN TRUCKING WIFE!!!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama Big Time on the CB

Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down, keep her between the ditches and we'll catch ya on the ole flip flop 10-4 this is Doc and I'm 10-10 on the side. Then we're the days

    Had a K100 years ago with a Cumalong NT in it hauling steel fabrications in Salt Lake. I replaced the silly alloy bumper with a ¾" 'C' section steel beam because front axle was never overweight anyway. Result was SO much smoother, quieter, less rattly and just nicer to drive. It also had air assist power steering that one flicked on only when manoeuvring. It was great.

    I've always had a soft spot for those K100's and this one is a nice looking truck, and a great video, but I have to say, judging by how much you have to steer it, as seen at about the 1:00 mark in the vid, it looks like it likes to wonder around on the road a little. Still a great truck though.
