Introduction
This manual provides body builders with appropriate information and guidelines useful in the body planning and in-
stallation process. This information will be helpful when installing bodies or other associated equipment.
This manual contains appropriate dimensional information, guidelines for mounting bodies, guidelines for modifying
frames, electrical wiring information, and other information useful in the body installation process.
The intended primary users of this manual are body builders who install bodies and associated equipment on
K270/K370 Medium Duty vehicles. Dealers who sell and service the vehicle will also find this information useful.
This Body Builder’s Manual can be very useful when specifying a vehicle, particularly when the body builder is in-
volved in the vehicle definition and ordering process. Early in the process, professional body builders can often con-
tribute valuable information that reduces the ultimate cost of the body installation.
This manual is not a maintenance manual or an operation manual.
• For chassis maintenance and repair information consult the PACCAR ServiceNet available in the Service De-
partment of the selling dealer or order a custom shop manual or parts catalog for your vehicle through your local
dealer.
• For chassis operating information consult the Operator’s Manual, included with each vehicle. It can also be or-
dered from your local dealer.

Safety & Compliance
FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
As an Original
Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM), Kenworth Truck Co.
ensures
that our
products
comply with all
applicab
le
U.S. or
Canadian Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
However, the
f
act
that this vehicle has no fifth wheel and that
a
Body Builder
(Intermediate
or Final
Stage Manufacturer)
will
be doing additional
modifications means
that the vehicle w
as
incomplete
when it left the build plant.
See
next
section
and Appendix A
for
additional
inf
or
mation.
Incomplete
Vehicle
Cer
tification
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 2–1.
In addition, affixed to the driver’s side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certification label. See Figure 2–2. For further in-
formation on Vehicle Certification and Identification, see APPENDIX A “VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION” or owner’s manual.
NOTE:
These documents
list the U.S. or
Canadian Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard regulations
that
the
vehicle complied with when it left the build plant. You should be
aware
that
if
you add, modify or alter
an
y of the
components
or
systems covered
by
these regulations,
it is your
responsibilityas
the
Inter-
mediate
or Final
Stage Manufacturer
to
ensure
that the
complete
vehicle is in
compliance
with the
par
ticular
regulations
upon
completion
of the
modifications

As the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain the Incomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In addition,
you should record and retain the manufacturer and serial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon completion of the vehicle (instal-
lation of the body and any other modifications), you should affix your certification label to the vehicle as required by Federal law.
This tag identifies you as the “Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer” and certifies that the vehicle complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 2–2.) For Canadian final stage manufacturers see:
http://www.gazette.gc.ca/index-eng.html and http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/acts-regulations/menu.htm for the regulations.

Noise
and
Emissions Requirements
NOTE:
NOTE:
This truck may be
equipped
with a converter muffler unit in order to
meet
both noise and
exhaust
emissions requirements.
Removal or
tampering
with the converter muffler
will
not improve
engine per-
formance.
Also
tampering
is
against
the rules
that
are
established
by the U.S. Code of
Federal Regu-
lations
and
EnvironmentCanada Regulations.
The
converter muffler may only be
replaced
with an
approved
par
t.
Relocation
of converter muffler
will
affect noise and
emission
performance. Contact
the
engine manu-
facturer
for
any
requirements
and
restrictions
prior to
an
y
modifications.
In particular, there are
re-
quirements
and
restrictions
for
exhaust
pipe
materials
and
f
or
maximum
exhaust system lengths
from
turbo outlet to muffler
inlet.
