Can you convert a 359 to an automatic transmission?

Oh, you had to bring up the "Circus Wagons",,,I couldn't find where Monfort used Petes, they did have Freightliners and Mack cabovers, but was mostly KW. They did have a couple K100s with 8v71 Detroits with 5 speed Allisons, I found. I think this pic was taken in mid 70s when the son took over. Look at the fuel tanks. I read, they filled up at the yard, and once halfway to Jersey and to switch drivers.
Remembering The Monfort Circus Wagons - Psyne Co.

 

I remember seeing several trucks in the trucking rags, back in the day, with an Allison in front of a brownie.

 

Monfort never had any Peterbilts ever

 

Never say never my friend.

 

Not sure about Monfort, but I know Shupe Brothers out of Greeley Co. had a bunch of W900 with 8V92 detroits and allisons in them. I drove a few of them. The early generation allison truly sucked in the winter on ice because of harsh down shifts. If memory serves me right they had allison HT740s in them or 750s. Dang I'm getting old

 

I guess a picture doesn’t lie but that had to of been before mine time there cause there was nothing but W900’s & K100’s the whole time I was around Montfort. I was told when David got put in charge of Transportation & safety he started getting ride of the cab over Whites and getting the KWs if there was some 352s it was very few and before my time there

 

Never knew they had those.

 

For being new, his postings are a little off the wall if you asked me.
