Ok, now I see that you were talking about the show truck, it was a 389 that was rebuilt to look like a 359.

 

I missed where that was mentioned. Explains why the hood looks so long too I suppose.

 

Hard to find fault with any truck you can drive home for under $10k lol

 

No doubt, and it actually looks like it will not be a hard build to make a nice wok truck out of it, not to mention a good looking work truck.
I know when I used to drive my partners short nose 359, I would get several inquiries a day from someone wanting to know if I would sell it. lol

 

He could throw on a coat of lime green hi-vis paint and a tall shifter and a big visor and get $20k next week

 

I do not like drop visors and bought my W9 in 05, the way the sun gets and stays in your eyes is brutal, but always before it seemed like sunglasses worked. Well this year they didn't at all, and I seriously thought about a drop visor and painting the top of my hood. then I found out I have cataracts and just got the second eye fixed today, so I am hoping that is what the difference was. lol

 

My mother said cataract surgery was like a miracle. She wore glasses for 70+ years then all of a sudden didn’t need them. Hopefully it solves your problem

 

I do not need them in the eye they did last week, so we will see. They told me they could put prescription lenses in my eyes and I would not need them at all, for a measly 10 grand more. lol
This way they said I might need reading glasses, but not so far. lol
