Brinx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Jacobus, Some really nice vintage rigs you have there...very well done. The Alaskan Hauler (green KW) looks EXACLY like the picture on the box (was anyone else dismayed as a kid that there was NO chrome in the kit?) Funny part is, now....I'm usually stripping off ALL the chrome for my trucks now! The WT 9000 is pretty cool too. overall---nice group there at the ol' truck stop.

Chris guthro Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Any pictures of the dual exhaust wye pipe you made for it? I'm putting duals on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wow do you have some shine on that one! Really sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepmd Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Chris, if you are asking about the exhaust on the black WS, there is not an actual Y-pipe. All the pictures I found on the internet show the exhaust is sent to stacks from a dual exit muffler under the right frame rail. The head pipe comes off the turbo and drops to just below the frame and enters a round muffler on the long end, and from 2 side outlets, goes to the stacks. In this picture, you can see the passenger side exhaust and muffler. The drivers side is a mirror image, with extra length to get to the muffler on the passenger side frame rail.

Chris guthro Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks!! I didn't notice that in the picture! I'm trying to run duals on a 3408 cat in my white western star, but trying to figure it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 here is one from about 30 years ago [ must clean everything and dusting ] and in a line set up jacobus Great collection, Jacobus - Could be seen at a truckstop around 1980... I especially like the '70s Ford WT9000 Coe (like "Blue Mule from White Line Fever") and the '60s Diamond T Coe - what conversions are these?
