A) LW 9xx one of the first LW's in NZ
B) LW 9xx a later cabbed version
C) T800 an American model not built in Aus
D) W900B another American built one we never got the B series W models in Aus
E) T450
F) T950



Thanks for the info mate,although I have a couple of questions.

I also thought that pic D was a W900B,but what's with the headlights,I thought that a W900B had round lights?

Ok so maybe they were changed,or can you spec a KW with round or square lights?

I have also seen a couple of T600's with round headlights and they're usually fitted with two square ones.

As for pic F, I also thought it was a T950,but what;s with the step down door window. Could this be a late model T950?
Or like the lights can you spec this kind of door/window?

I've seen a few T950's like this,could it be a T950A?

Is there such a KW model?

Cheers Jamie

The early American B models had square twin headlights that were recessed into the front of the guard, and the later B models had square twins that sat proud of the guard like the W900L american models

I have also seen a couple of T600's with round headlights and they're usually fitted with two square ones.
Never seen that ......ever

As for pic F, I also thought it was a T950,but what;s with the step down door window. Could this be a late model T950? didn't notice that

could it be a T950A?never heard of a 950A

Werk,mate thanks again for the reply and answers.

Please don't think that I'm trying to second guess you mate or be a smart arse,I'm just keen to know which trucks are what.

Here's a few more pics,this first one lets call it pic G is what I reckon is a T601. Like a T600,but it has round lights and a stepped door window.

Now what are these two,there's a Kiwi and an Aussie one just to show they are not a Kiwi 'Special'

Lets call these pics H and I

Are they T600's with round lights or T601's without the stepped door window?

Jamie....sorry If I came across like that .........those are all T601s

Had a look in my stuff and found that the T950s had the flat top door originally but had the Daylight(drop front) ones as an option so I guess as they became more popular KW just made them the standard. 8-)

Have a look through here it may help with a lot of your Q's about KWs 8-) 8-)
