Jim B Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 If it we're me, I'd get the Bullnose Kenworth from Illini Replica Conversions. Photo Details: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Illini originated these. I'm not sure if the Aussie sellers is re-selling the AITM and Illini castings or casting their own versions but they appear to be the same trans-kits.

Sergey Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Friends, what is the meaning of term "dobhouse"? I just foud a historical review about this truck. They say "The dobhouse on these trucks was readily removable, and not a part of the structure of the cab". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFF TIN Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The "Doghouse" is the engine cover between the seats. Not sure on KW but the early Freightliner the cab didn't tilt and you needed access to the motor this way. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck parts Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes Clayton, I did try to sleep across the dog house one night.The truck had a sleeper,but it was cooler to lay across the dog house with the windows down. Didn't get a lot of sleep that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinac359 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The term "doghouse" refers to the engine tunnel because it was reminscent of a dog house. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Sergey, have a look at the Neo-Seminole Kenworths post under the 1:1 Reference theme, I posted some pictures of a nice Bullnose Kenworth that has been meticulously restored not too long ago.

mardtrp Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Better buy the Bullnose Kenworth from Illini Replica Conversions. The other A#$%HOLE from Ballarat, Australia, is a thief and is copying anything he can lay his hands on. To all the casters that do not copy other peoples work, well, this t-u-r-d is shafting you real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
