Building A New to Me Pete

and he don't mean 65,000 gross weight either...

 

well, I saw that three fifty nine last week and I'd be proud to wheel it..



FWIW, I'll walk before I ever drive a stripped down fleet dog at 65 mph..

 

Thanks bro, she's my pride and joy.

 

She would be mine as well, some day I'll buy me one..

 

Please don't throw all of us younger drivers in that class some of us always have and always will drive hoods. Op I can't comment on boxes because they were extinct before I was born, but I will say I don't like 15s there's to much of a spread in the top holes, and with a little press work and pieceing a few things together you can have a double over 13 that will hold up to most anything.

 

I had substantial mods to my RTOO15613 including a lube pump and cooler tapered roller bearings updated main shaft just to start. It wouldn't live behind my little B model. Tried it 3 different times. Also if you take a RTO and turn the counter shaft gears around and put the RTOO front gears in you end up with a big spread between 2 and 3 and 8 and 9.

 

I love a 15 w/big hole against the dash..

This truck was built off a glider with a 15, 3.55 rears, and a 550 E model Cat..

I put some serious hammer lane miles on that old girl..

 

That is a sweet ride. Our black cherry 379 has that same set up. 2WS 550 E model a 15 and 3.55 rears.

 

nice...


I'm dig'n the new pic in your sig..


I'm now positive that was you I saw two weeks ago..

 

She is unmistakeable and not a bad looking ol girl when she's cleaned up.
