Looking for a 359 Pete

There is usually a couple of classics on truck paper, that is where we found ours (#45/359). there are many that are claimed to be classics, but the only way to be sure is to check for the special brass plate on the glove box

and the little badge below the door


here is one

I agree with the above post on truckpaper there is usually a couple numbered 359's on the website, ebay has 359's listed but its hit or miss on numbered ones..

 

JR, Can you help me settle a little debate with a friend...

Did the original numbered 359's come with air ride suspension? Also, did they have an air ride cab? My thought was even though they were limited edition, numbered, you could still get them spec'd out how you wanted. Or did they just build them, number them and paint them and that's what you got?

BTW, my FAVORITE truck of all time. I would love to have one.... Or 359 of them. LOL

 

hey there long hood, i have found that too. I have also been keeping pics of all the classics I can and find adn yes, many guys like to say that "its a classic" and are wrong.
Biscuit, I have had guys tell me that they all had standup bunks or air ride cabs, or all had a specific setup with very few customer choices (like the 379X). But as far as I know they were customer spec'd with the only fixed item being the Extended hood.
Ours is 260 wb, with Air leaf (not low air leaf) suspension, it was all black new, but the owner changed it to have burgundy fenders and a grey interior. we will likely be changing it back some time in the future. we have also swithched it to 46 000lbs rears w/ full lockup and 4.33 ratios

we also have another 359 EXHD that we are currently putting back together. It was in an accident a year ago and is close to being ready

btw if you do have a pic of a classic with a standup bunk.......GIMME GIMME GIMME!

 

btw there long hood, that pic of the brass plate that says 45/359, is ours I can send you some better quality pics If youd like.

 

I'm in LOVE! Old Pete's just do it for me.

 

WOW! what a truck! too bad you missed it, but I can definatly see why it sold so quick. thanks for the useful info too. Finding solid info on rare trucks (359 Needlenose, 359 Classic, 379X, 379 Legacy etc.) is somewhat difficult.
