    Im looking for a little help trying to find airline schematics for my A model before I go stripping them off the frame, Im gonna have to run all new airlines so I was looking for a little guidance in that regard, or if somebody has ideas on how to mark the lines so I know where they should go back too....Any help would be greatly appreciated :biggrin_25519:

    Take pictures of your valves, label all your lines and keep record on paper.

    Is there anyway to get a service manual at all or is it too old?

    Do this, even with a schematic I doubt you would be able to figure out where things were supposed to go. If it were me I would do them one at a time, this is the way I will be doing mine.

    As for International we have nothing that goes that far back. We also do not have air line schematics for the trucks. I do not work at a Kenworth dealer, so I am only guess it would be the same with them.

    Call Spencer's chrome in Pa, they build a lot of A models and could most likely piont you in the right direction

    Don't know of they do it in the states but in Aus Kenworth keep file records of every part of every truck that has ever been built. You can even get parts reproduced because they have the records. Try ringing them.
