Spacer,

Seen the Australian-only (built there) KENWORTH 200? Nicest COE I've ever seen!

Kenworth - Defining Tomorrow: K200

The new Aussie Kenworths! Biglorryblog gets the full story from Mullos and Powertorque! - Biglorryblog

Check out the flat floor.

Thanks for the info about using a 972. I always wondered what a modern 12-liter could do in one of those, especially with a reduced height 48' trailer. An air-ride front axle, as well (read up on a tight cut turn radius one designed for OTR buses a few years ago).
