The Kenworth W900 is a model line of conventional-cab trucks that are produced by the Kenworth division of PACCAR. The replacement of the 900-series conventional, the W900 is produced as a Class 8 conventional-cab truck primarily for highway use. The "W" in its model designation denotes Worthington, one of the two founders of Kenworth.[1] 63 years after its introduction, the W900 is currently in its third distinct generation (introduced in 1982).
At its introduction, the W900 conventional was introduced alongside the K100 COE. As the Kenworth model line was expanded, the W900 became its flagship conventional, with its cab structure used across other model families. Through its production, the W900 has competed against a wide variety of model lines; among owner-operator drivers, the W900 created a rivalry with the Peterbilt 379 (from Paccar sister division Peterbilt) and its successor Peterbilt 389. The model line also remains a popular basis for truck customization, with owners adding additional chrome trim, wheels, lighting, and paint.
Currently, Kenworth produces the W900L at its Renton, Washington assembly facility.[2] In 2018, the W990 was introduced as an all-new flagship conventional, phased in to replace shorter-hood models of the W900 line.
In 1965, the W900 underwent its first major change and was renamed the W900A. To accommodate larger diesel engines, the long hood was lengthened several inches to further increase radiator size. For 1972, the doors of the W900 were changed, with the model adapting larger windows, and correspondingly narrower vent windows; for ease of use, the door handles were re-positioned to the bottom of the doors and changed from a lever-style to a pull-style configuration. In 1973, the Kenworth badging was changed, with a redesigned grille emblem and hood badging. In 1974, a 60-inch flattop double sleeper was introduced as a factory option.
In 1976, Kenworth introduced the Aerodyne sleeper cab for the W900A. Distinguished by its twin skylight windows, Aerodyne was the first factory-produced sleeper cab with a raised roof.
Through its half-century of production, the Kenworth W900 and its many variants have appeared numerous times on film and television. One of the most famous appearances of the model line is in the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit (alongside the Pontiac Trans Am). Of the three W900s, driven by Jerry Reed, one example is a 1973; two are from 1974. The W900B was prominent in the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill; initially offered as a limited edition commemorating the film. Several W990s, along with some T680s, are seen in the 2021 movie The Ice Road.
In television, the W900 was centrally featured in a number of appearances. Claude Akins appeared in a two-tone green 1974 W900A in the series Movin' On. The W900 also appeared in the French educational television program C'est pas sorcier. Numerous B-cab models were prominent in the series Ice Road Truckers.
BJ and the Bear 🙂!
Congratulations, Chris on reaching 100k subs
Thanks Chris for the unboxing!!!😎👍🏻
I’ve been a diesel mechanic for 40+ years. There were hardly any of these trucks issued with Detroit diesels. Mostly Cummins and Cats. If they had a Detroit it was a 60 series not a screaming jimmy.
seen a few here in OZ with 3408's and 8v92s not as common as Cummins and 3406 powered ones......but you can tell when one goes past!
Hey Chris. The hump in the center of the cabs interior is called the DOG HOUSE....
Yes, sometimes people forget a word for a bit. It happens. Thanks.
@@hpiguy. NP Chris. great review. I am sitting on an Aerodyne kit, waiting for your build to see how it comes out.
I still have my truck on its shelve. My version is with Cummins straight six cylinder engine, after almost 40 years. A lovely truck.
A white paint job with red stripe and some BJ Mckay and the Bear decals. that what i plan to build with my version. But as Chris always say build it the way you want to build it.
I had the BJnBear version back when I was a Teenager, still have some parts from it and the 8v92 got swapped into a Revell K100 Aerodyne with twin aircleaner stacks.
That kit is actually just the tyrone malone ramp truck stripped. The frame is too long.
Very nice looking. Thanks for preview and unboxing. Have a great week.
i had just turned 8 years old and rode in a KW cabover( no Aerodyne though) to NYC from Lockport ,NY for the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade in 1974.... even that long ago i still remember just how bumpy that ride was!!
I have a Bj and the Bear kit I bought many years ago. Still in the box with the original decal sheet. I just can't bear to put it together.
I have one of the older kits of this! Mine is 1987 version ! Willl be watching your build!
Whatta BEAST !
and well detailed too.
Snub nose cab overs with sleepers were the "Caddy's" of their day !
Thanks for th tease Chris...
Congrats on the 100K milestone! I first encountered this channel during lockdown four years ago and have seen it grow tremendously since then in terms of how you document the build process. It'd be nice to see this next to the Revell Snap Tite version you built a while ago when it's finished. I'm presently working on the Revell one and I realize it's a later and probably more "upmarket" model and different in several respects.
Visors there. Do it as BJ and the Bear. Great video Chris, keep em coming, I'll keep watching.
Very nice kit!!
Haven't built a Semi in years. I might have to buy.
dude you always have the best stuff. please build this on your chanel.
Great unboxing, Chris! Can't wait to see the build.
Still have several kits of the generic release that AMT came out years ago.
The real one came out in 1976. You could spec them with the Red, White and Blue paint scheme. Cabovers are a novelty now days.
Them bicentennial kws are worth a Fortune
@@adampatterson5475 : My grandpa had the Bicentennial COE and Conventional, Cool trucks especially with the red, white and blue interiors.
The COE's were really cool trucks, and easier to maneuver around tight spaces unlike the conventional's.
Hello,.....Bj McKay models...yay!
Can't wait to see you build this up!
Cool 👍
Ok , wheres the C.B. ?
Really great kit
Hahn Corner
April Creek
👍👍👍👍

I'M waiting for a release of The Blue Mule from the movie White line Feaver!
That would require a company to do one from scratch. I doubt that will ever happen.
I noticed this kit does not have metal axles. AMT kits pretty much always had metal axles. Does anyone know?
This was 1 of the Lesney/Matchbox designed kits. They do not have metal axles.
@@robbygaines3214 thanks!
That’s a great kit looking forward to seeing you build it
Make it RC has a really cool conversion kit for semis.
I want one but how much does it cost
Preorder link in description like he said.
Nice looking kit - hope to see you build it.
