Just started working on a new used semi we purchased. It's a 1975 Kenworth W900A. We need another truck for a backup to the Diamond Reo. Pulled it in the shop, and started to look over it. What we found was a can of worms. It was a woods truck and it had a huge wet kit that leaked and was a back woods mounting system....welded right to the frame. Bolts that had no thread so they just welded them to hold. Old airlines that were junk still mounted everwhere. A scab job for the back lights using speaker wire. The shift handle was broke instead of replacing the used a roll of duck tape to fasten in down to the stick. What they call chicken lights all over the cab. Electrical connections hot glued together. No wires or hoses wrapped up nice either all laying and rubbing on something. If something broke they just left the old and scabed the junk in. It just makes you wonder if some people even care about there equipment. I know its old but still. A week in the shop and she be be road worthy again. I'll post some pics at a later date. Any of you have has experiances like this??? Erik
