1973 Kenworth conventional and reefer

[Force]

Very nice.
The only thing you missed are the gold background color with silver letters on the KW "bug" on the grille, 1973 was Kenworth's 50th anniversary and the trucks had gold KW "bug" emblems that year instead of the regular red/silver.

I have seen the Smokey And The Bandit movie about a gazillion times since it first came 1977...well at least once a year...and on most of the exterior shots of the truck it has the gold "bug" emblem...even the yellow and white KW in the first scene when "Tod Engels" gets busted by the cops for bootlegging has a gold "bug" emblem.

You might have a long wait. This is a 5 year old thread, and Bill hasn't signed on to the Forum since June 2013.
