📖 Short Story of the Truck
In 1982, Kenworth introduced the W900B as a replacement for the W900A. Distinguished by its rectangular headlamps, the W900B also featured a raised hoodline for improved cooling, requiring the cab to be mounted higher.
Later variants included:
– 🛻 W900S (1987): adopted the sloped hood of the T800
– 🚛 W900L (1989): extended BBC from 120 to 130 inches, initially a limited edition commemorating Licence to Kill before becoming a full production model
The W900B became the true workhorse, with a shorter wheelbase and larger grille for efficient cooling, making it suitable for diverse trucking scenarios.

Note from the Author: Yes I am aware it looks very similar to the SCS W900 - it's heavilly based on it.
(technically - just like in real life it's almost the same truck)
What's the differrence? The differrence is the hood shape. It's overall shorter and bulkier (wider+higher).
So the truck is more manouverable, but at the same time slightly more challenging to drive due to reduced visibility.
Also I've added a few minor details here and there to make the model look abit more realistic.
We also plan to revisit engines and transmissions for a more realistic feel.
It's a clone of SCS truck - what's the point? Well, first of all we wanted to give you guys a new truck, yes it's very similar to SCS one,
but it gives us our own W900 truch which we can freely modify with new stuff
(like more cabs or chassis variants) without affecting SCS truck.
Not to mention I personally think that a "workhorse" W900B will be alot more
fitting for the upcomming ST dlc than the "showtoy" W900L SCS gave us.
What's icluded in the mod? The mod contains the truck (duh) and all the appropriate tuning for it which
is identical to the SCS W900 with a few more custom parts.
✅ Tested on game version 1.57.x
