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.)

This is what we were riding in when we decided to hang it up. It was a 2006 Kenworth T-600, and I got it just before the 2007 emissions went into effect. I bought it brand new off the Inland Kenworth lot in Albuquerque. It had a 575 hp ISX Cummins, 18 speed and 3.36 rears. 86" Studio. I put a ThermoKing APU on it and a 5,000 watt inverter I traded my brother out of. I also made that headache rack out of two Merritt 24"x24" x 48" aluminum toolboxes. It was a great truck, and I will post more pictures later, like the ones I took in Canada.
