    This truck was manufactured in Dec. 1986 at the Denton plant. By the way that is a very groovy 85 model you have there!!! I love to see those 359s still out on the road doing the same job a brand new truck does... only with a hell of alot more class!!!

    I have to agree on the modernized part. Both mine are just like they were sent for the most part. I wanted to put a 36 inch on the red and black one but the frame, cab, and sleeper numbers all match so in the end that won out. The B model has been worked extensively but it is still the original block and pump, Its no fun to me if I ain't working it I am choosey about how and where. Done all of mine including the paint, but the body was in good shape already. It was a one owner that had been well cared for its whole life.

    I have also ran across a 1986 model in the last couple days. It has been disassembled and the B model Cat was sold. This gentleman redid the hood cab is in very good shape and when he went out to to where he kept the sleepers to show it to me it was a factory standup. I'm definitely a flattop lover 36" til I had 3 kids now 63" will be needed for when they pile in with me. Being a 359 standup though I'm kinda wanting it too. I know they only made a few in 86&87. I know this is getting off my original thread but does anybody know exactly how many of these they made? It was also a factory 2 stick truck and has the big Eaton rear ends so I m trying to work a deal on it also. Maybe put it back so if one of my sons ever trucks he can do it in a classy ride. After he's proven he can take good care of one of course!!! Lol

    The number is on the right side of the dash. Also not all 87's are numbered. There are also trucks displaying the classic badges but are not numbered trucks. I own number 193

    Also only the EXHD trucks are numbered not the standard hoods. If the vin plate list it as an S-19 it's not a numbered rig
