Help! We got an unexpected present.

Big people and 359's don't go well together

 

Are they worse than a KW T600 with a modular sleeper? When I was on dumb and dumber team at Stevens we were assigned an old dog Aerodyne sleeper with the walk through hole between cab and sleeper and my fat ### fit in it. Just barely. My partner was a tall skinny cowboy from Corpus Christi and he had issues lol.

 

I had a '95 T600. It had an Aerodyne mid roof bunk but IIRC it had a the wall behind the seats and ohhhh, yeah the 359 is MUCH smaller than that. I never had that modular bunk tho. What really gets you is the very narrow cab...you don't even really need power windows because you can reach right over there. And you can't slide the seat back very far. Most 359 drivers don't use inboard arm rests because they can't get in the bunk if you have them. Half the time I find it easier to walk around and use the hore door.

EDIT: at 5' 9" 180 lbs I am not a mountain of a man by any stretch.

 

My '80 KW COE has got integrated air con, Sheppard power steer, air ride, air wipers, air power passenger window, air start, all original factory. As long as everything is kept up to scratch the older Paccar trucks go forever, problem is so many of them are run into the ground. They are a helluva lot easier to fix than late trucks though.

 

Would be mid '70s I guess. My '80 KW's got factory air.

 

Man, that red Pete. 3408, twin stick. $90k is a lot though, but I bet it sells.

 

THanks for making me feel old, because my time was well before 1980

 

I'd rather buy 2-3 just nice survivors for $90K instead onf one. But yeah, nice truck.
