more 359 Pete questions

On my 87, which I'm looking at right now, my idiot lights make a perfect cross. 5 lights total. 12 o'clock is diff lock, 3 is water, 6 is air, directly under 6 is susp disc, and 9 o'clock is oil.

 

Hi Jake, Yes, I've seen variations in what is what as far as warning lights. One thing that seems standard, is oil and water lights appear to coincide with the oil and water temp. gauges. You must have one of the last 359's, didn't they stop making them in '87?

 

Here's my '85, again, sorry for the crummy photo. http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2014/03/HowardArbiture_04_1500.jpg

 

My 84 doesn't have that 5th light.

 

My '72 small window didn't have any of those igit lights. http://timstrucks.site.aplus.net/1972_359_dash_R_Gaines_Photo.jpg

Brings back memories, I drove a '86 359 with a 400hp white block cat motor 13 sp. was a nice truck to drive......

 

Hey RnR81, do you remember that awful crash in front of Sun Prairie Driving School before it was 4 lane? I think it was a Marten driver on his maiden run, and was looking at the school, and someone was stopped waiting to turn left and plowed into them. It was about the time they were using those cabovers. I think that was one of the reasons they made it 4 lane there.

 

My 84 Pete 359 has the white cat 400hp-63" flat top sleeper. All restored like it rolled off the assembly line with a Seminole paint scheme. Its retired and living the good life. Doesn't need its 3:90 gears. Never realized Cat had a white motor till I got it.
