Can you Post some pics of your friends 359 please?
I had one when they were the ultimate Owner Operator Truck. Is the 359 an Extended Hood? Which is even cooler.

Hes a pogger. Its Pierrem53 from P.A.

Ill get him to send me some.

Chicago to Islamirada 1450 miles.

ill use 57 to 24 to get to nashville. The more conventional route I 65 is crowded, rough and takes u through Gary Indy Louiville. 57 has no big towns smooth and way less traveled. Gps has it at 10 min. longer well worth it.

From Nashville instead of 24 to 75 and Chattanoga and Atlanta ill go 65 south from Nashville to Rt. 231 at Monrgomery and cut across southeast down to I 10 in the fl panhandle.

Then instead of 10 east to 75 south ill cut the corner of that off and take US 27 down to Ocalla another fantastic bit of road. Old 41 from Naples to Homestead yet another fantastic piece of asphault.

Usually about Naples Gracy sits up and catches her first snootfull of salt air.

Hey Richard Hungry Billy has a 379. If hed ever pull it out and let it see the light of day and wash it he might put up a picture of his. Poor thing. U know what he did. He tricked me. He invited me to his house and offered to help switch rear end gears when i went to 3.08. So then he goes and takes what he learned and swapped his out for 2.70s or some crazy tall ratio in the 2s.


Rrrrrrrrrrr. Should have went taller. 1400 rpm at 80mph is where i want to land in O.D. Ill get there.

Loc had the nice blue 379 with a 6NZ Cat and he went and sold it. Last year March while i self quarrenteened at his ranch in Gonzallas Tx. I was using it for a grocery getter. I was livin in one gettin groceries in another. Spoiled the hell out of the animals with bags and bags of treats they loved me. Where u gonna get culture better than this.

Here is Pier with his 359. Looks like he already put new stacks and air cleaners on it.

Norm has a really nice Pete Wrecker I need to rattle his cage for a picture cant leave him out. Jarhead...dont want to piss him off never know what he might do.

Thanks for the git back Joe.
Yup, I ran that same Route you're taking to get to the Bikini plenty.
That 359 you pictured is exactly what I had for a long time. Looks like a Short Hood. Still a very cool ride. Mine was an 87, last year of the five nines before Denton started on the 379s. Mine had the square 359 headlights. Looks like ol Pier went with lights off a 379. Is it the blue Pete with the rear ratio in the 2s? I thought I was doing good with 3:55s man.
Have a good trip on the Southbound there Driver.

Best I can do at the moment. Gear swap was from 3.70’s to 2.64’s. Longest legs I could put in these housings.

[Joe Camper]

And what gears did u put???? 2.64s. U suck. Looks like its still burried in the garage being punished for no good reason.

Not sure why pics repeated. Disappeared during posting so reloaded and now multiples. Technology is not my friend.

Put another upgrade behind me. The old girl is looking more and more proper.

Dash and instrumentation.

I'm adding another 10 gauges to what's already there. 3 more on the left 3 more center and 4 more right.

First the left panel. I canableized a second center panel for it's 4 smaller holes that I ten used to replace the big hole the original pyromiter occupied in that left panel I've "hand fitted". That's right, hand fitted. LOL

Those 4 holes will be volts and amps chassis top and volts and amps camper bottom.

The center panel will be less work. I'll add 3 openings across the bottom center for the clock outside temperature and air filter restriction.

The opening created under the speedo were the chassis volts was taken from will house a new fuel pressure gauge.
