Jim B Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was asked in another thread if I could post some pictures of the GW Trucks W900B & W900S conversions that I have. So, here is a little "in box review" of these cabs. Let's start with the W900B. The GW Trucks W900B is a complete cab & hood conversion kit including all of the parts you see here: The kit includes the cab, hood & grill, interior floor pan with dash board & door panels, cab mounts, external air cleaner. visor, and intercooler. All parts are cast in white resin. The cab: Here are some comparison shots of the GW Trucks W900B hood with the AMT hood (center) and the Revell of Germany hood (blue): Now, onto the W900S. The W900S is a special sloped hood version of the W900 that is marketed toward the dump & mixer applications. The GW Trucks W900S kit includes all of the parts you see here: Also available is the W900S Front End Suspension Correction Kit: The Cab: Again, all parts are molded in white resin, and have very clean, crisp details. According to Gary, these cabs are mid to late 1990s. Correct engines for these trucks would be as follows: W900B - Cummins M11, N14, or ISX (late 1990s), Caterpiller - C12, 3406B, or 3406E (late 1990s), Detroit Diesel - Series 60 W900S - Cummins M11 or ISM, Caterpiller - C10 or C11. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Jim thanks for taking the time to post this. And I have to tell you the Blue and White hood looks to me one of the sharpest paint jobs and scheme I have seen in a long time. I so want to do a similar scheme.

Jim B Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 You're welcome, Sean. Thanks for the compliment on the Revell hood, but so you know I didn't paint it. A friend of mine did it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRaymo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Why doesn't anyone make a 900L conversion? I know p&p use to sell them but can't seem to find them anymore. I don't want to cut up a resin B hood but it looks like my only choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwt950 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 All, I'm in the process of releasing my cab conversions back out on the market. I'll let you all know when that happens in the near future. In the mean time, if you are needing one of my conversion kits please send me a personal email with your request. Bill Drennen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
