more 359 Pete questions

Hi rocknroll, son of a gun, you may be right. As you know, I worked for Wisco Farm Co-Op, which was a combined effort between Creekwood Farms and Lakeland Farms, 2 huge egg producers in the Lake Mills, Wis. area. Creekwood was more of a distibutor of eggs, while, I believe, Lakeland had a "cracking plant" and many times, I'd see a Gullickson tank parked there. Lakeland became "Daybreak Foods", ( which I always thought was hilarious for an egg company,,,, "they break foods") and bought their own trucks and tanks.

 

Need some info on 1985 359 Pete. I found one with a 102 double eagle sleeper on it, truck has a 3406b 5x 4 spicer two stick and 336 rears 312 wheel base. looks to be in great shape from pics guy is asking 24,000 for the truck. He said its been sitting for a couple years since owner died. just wondering if it would be worth buying to use as a dd or not . pull a 53 reefer out of fl mostly east coast. really like the 359s but don't know how much wiring problems and so forth I might encounter. any help on this model and year would be great. thanks.

 

Got any pics? Would really like to see it. Does she run?

 

yeah it runs, need to figure out how to post pics.

 

here is one pic of the truck

 

Thanks, did they put big bunks on them in 85 or was that added later. what about the two stick spicer.

 

Not mine, but seen this beauty in Phoenix several years ago at Danny's. Thought you classic car guys might like it.

 

here is some pics of the 359.
