Jon is correct, 1986 was the first of the 102" widebody Newells. Easy to spot on a Classic. The narrow bodies have 2 windshields. The 102" wide bodies have a third piece of glass in the center of the windshield to add the additional 6". The first tag axle Newell was built in 1978, it was 1986 before the next/second tag axle Newell. 1987 saw numerous tag axle Newells. I have photos of at least 16 different 1987's with tag axles.
1984 was the introduction of the Detroit 8V92 into Newells. 1981-1983's had 6V92's or Cummins 903's originally. 1980 Newells had 6V92's, Cummins 555, Cummins 903 or Cat 3208.
