i want this truck.....also,are those aluminum split rims on the front?

Ugh. You will want to put that thing on airride in order to cruise like you think.

It's a nice old truck. But only for those of us who recall them. The one saving grace it has that 13 speed, that will help work around the limitations of that old 350.

 

Yes,those are tube tires front and back.Look like 10.00-22's.Not split rims,but they have a lock ring.Torture bar suspension,too.Back then,most of the trucks on the road were set up like this one,big boy in its day..Decent price,if that's what you're looking for.

 

Ristow? You feeling ok? Last year, I drove a yard horse for a cranberry marsh exactly like this. Has time faded the memory a bit? Well, it really was miserable, just shuttling trailers. Armstrong steering, cab shook, doors wouldn't close. Those are 22" split rims ( I believe any rim with a lock ring is considered split rim) but easy enough to switch to 10 hole tubeless. For the price in parts alone, is worth it, but again, I think you may have forgotten how miserable these trucks really were. Also, never heard of a K100 Peterbilt Freightliner.

 

.... about all I can say lol. Looks like a good base to build to!

 

That's cool, I was just kidding. The K100 was probably the nicest of the bunch. Most of us were running 4070's or Road Commodes, WFL's or the dreaded GMC "Crackerbox" and the "pro's", road drivers, mostly, had K100's or 352's. Can't go wrong with the Detroit, great motor. I guess a stretched K100 with 8 bag and air steer and a 500 Detroit, would be a sharp truck,,,just not for me.

 

Oh ya. Those cursed COE's Rode like a brick sitting on concrete block. Crossing a curb at 45 degrees inducted a vicious spine tearing whip across the front steer straight to you.

I have quit companies the moment I realized by assigned unit number turned out to be one of those jailhouse blocks. They say WTF? I say hell no. And you wondered why employment records are the way they were.
