    So what were the specs of that truck and what did something like that cost at the time?

    My 359 was a day cab, transfer dump chassis. 8V-92, RTO-12513, DS400P’s, Reyco 102, HD alum frame, 224”, Classic interior. $52,000.00 total. At that time there was no 12% excise tax. Then I went thru Fruehauf and got their trailer chassis with 15’ Likens boxes for $25,000.

    I would think the 8v92 would be enough to give you nightmares.

    Actually that 92 was trouble free for the 5 years that I had it. I had the air shut down solenoid fail once and the Delco alternator failed about two years old. That was about it. I did take care of it, ran the overheads every 75,000, oil/filters at 12,000. The second owner ran it another 100,000 and dropped a valve. He was talked in to dropping a Cummins in then.
