1. Did the mid '80's 359's come with a privacy curtain for the windshield and windows? My KW has some real nice heavy vinyl ones that you hang (as opposed to sliding on a track) and they are pretty good insulators.
2. in the center of the corvette dash there are 4 round idiot lights in the shape of a diamond. The light at 12 oclock is the "low air" indicator. What are the other 3?

Wish you hadn't posted that, Got my oil and water lights backwards. I have been happy with them now that I know they are backards I gotta fix it.
rank, Macneil, Glp and 1 other person Thank this. -
Hi wore out, HA, Oh no. This changes everything. There is 1 more under those, but I'm not sure what that 1 is. I think the extra 1 was where people put their "lucky penny". I had a '72 small window( different dash) and a '85 round dash.

i always liked a flat dash in my peterbilts,along with small windows. 1971 was the last year for small windows,some guys claim 72 was but they were really leftover 71s titled as a 72. be safe out there
rank Thanks this. -

That is a real Pete for sure. That fifth light on my truck comes on when the park brake is set. I just figured that's how it came but don't know.
"semi" retired Thanks this. -
Ahh...diff lock! Of course. Thanks for the replies everyone. The names on the letters on the red lenses are worn off.

Hi rank, what year is your Pete? These are getting pretty hard to find nowadays. If I drove again, I'd love to drive a 359. I had a '85 359 day cab with round dash that I was going to make a motorhome out of. I saw a guy in Fla. (from Mauston, Wis.) that put a small camper on the back, and it looked really cool. Lost interest, among other things, and sold it to a local towing outfit a few years back. Keep the old iron rolling, when trucks were trucks!!!!!rank Thanks this.
