The Kenworth W900A is the second generation of the Kenworth W900, the long-nosed conventional-cab heavy truck built by Kenworth. Trucking magazine Truckinginfo dates its introduction to 1965, when Kenworth designers lengthened the nose and increased the radiator size to make room for larger diesel engines, reflecting a trend toward higher horsepower in conventional trucks. Later changes to the W900A included redesigned doors in 1972, a restyled grille and hood badge in 1973, and the Aerodyne sleeper with twin skylight windows in the roof in 1976. English Wikipedia records that the W900 and the K100 cabover were both revised in the 1970s, becoming the W900A and the K100C. The W900A was replaced in 1982 by the W900B, which brought rectangular headlights and a higher hood. It belongs to the Kenworth W900 line, which has been produced since 1961.
