Buying first truck. Thinking Pete 379

what a 13k 379 looks like. Yes I bought it with the bent front bumper



View from the seat of above mentioned 379 taking the front door on I40 from deleted tuned high horse ISX'S. With a lil B model CAT. I don't know what they weighed but my scale ticket said 87k

 

Older 1st gen Volvos before they updated to the current style headlights could be spec'ed with Caterpillar. Not real common but I've seen them for sale on occasion.

 

Looking at the side by side pics that @ShooterK2 posted, I don't see a huge aero advantage to Volvo over KW body style. Filters yes we can talk. FWIW, I measured the front grille on 359 vs my T8..... Both are ~4 ft square. When you measure from ground to top of grille the 359 is only 4" higher with 24.5" rubber vs 22.5 on the T8. KW is a much taller cab

 

Yes they are, but mine wouldn't be quite so tall if it didn't have the lift under the front springs. 5 or 6 lift spacers on each side. I can put a 5 gallon bucket under my oil drain and still have several inches of clearance for the wind to blow the oil everywhere before it has a chance to collect in the bucket.

I'd lower it but that clearance sure is nice on them rough cattleguards and in the mud and snow.

 

Aerodynamics with style....

 

Absolutely

 

What ever happened to less overhead?

 

What happened to enjoying what u do

 

When you turn your truck on it should turn you on.

 

Exactly right --- When your riding down the highway you should have a grin on your face....
