    Almost the exact same cab as was used on my Brazilian made VW class 7 truck bought new in 1989 sold in USA as a Kenworth Mid-ranger or Peterbilt mid-sized. From the dealer it had a Cummins 8.3 @220 hp 6 sp transmission leaf spring rear susp. I added air ride seat put the rear cab mount on air made it a 4 bag Kenworth rear air susp moved the diff back 8 inches installed an over drive 13 sp transmission and had the pump turned up to 350 HP installed a Spinner II centrifugal oil filtration unit, added a 36 inch side entry artic sleeper 5 inch stack and air horns and a pair of 150 gallon fuel tanks, before the truck had 200 miles on it. Between me and my driver I eventually hired the truck only had 300,000 miles on it by mid 1993 when I sold it to my driver for nearly what I paid of it
