A little background on the Million Dollar Baby

A little background on the Million Dollar Baby.
The truck is a 1992 Kenworth B Model W-900. It has a 425 h.p. 3406 B-Model Caterpillar engine, a 15 speed deep-reduction transmission with 3:55 Eaton 402 rear ends. It has the V.I.T. Kenworth interior and the Aerodyne I style 60" walk in sleeper with double bunks. It had a 270 inch wheelbase before I cut it down, and I haven't measured it since.
It has approximately 1.5 million miles on it, and I drove it about 900,000 of those miles. I had an inframe rebuild done to the engine in 1999, and it's been running untouched ever since. (Same turbocharger since then too! Today's lesson is change the oil regularly!)
It's on the third clutch since new, and I put an Eaton reconditioned transmission in it at about 1.3 million miles. (It didn't need a clutch then, but I put one in it anyway since the transmission was out already.)

The Bed...


Here's the bed we installed on the truck. At this point, we weren't sure that it was going to fit without moving the rear axle back about six inches. This photo was taken right before my brother and I were getting ready to test fit the bed onto the truck.

    I think this is what they called a heavy haul trucking. Thanks for giving me an idea on what is heavy haul trucking. Since I don't know this before. I will need this service because my truck was stranded in a mud.
