    Thank you. We emailed a couple times a year but my last email bounced. I figured if he wanted to stay in touch, he knew where to find me. I'm sure he's sick of my questions.

    I doubt that. Starting a conversation with Heavy is kinda like one of those old walking beam pumps you see in the oil fields...it just goes on and on and on and...;)

    I actually didn't mind X1-Heavy. He had some good stories and when he got long winded I'd just skim what he had to say and move on.
    But I got to admit I couldn't help but picturing him getting on a roll using ASL and I keep thinking he'd have forearms like Popeye from all the working out he'd get done. Sure as heck wouldn't want him hitting you either.

    Hey does the 359 comes with 29in fuel tanks?

    here’s my measurement I desperately need a replacement tank, because I’ve taken off mines .left it at my house before the hurricane. And it’s stolen from me. Probably was scrapped.. 3103EC03-DFB2-4A40-BAA1-08E646BABFAC.jpeg 39122D27-6033-432E-8F7D-FC379C8DA020.jpeg E4A487A2-5265-41CC-9C53-7267B4EA67FE.jpeg B69AA50A-FF54-4396-8032-14A0BC473431.jpeg

    Tank size never was a standard thing back then. They could be ordered in any dia. I think it is more about length with same standard dia. these days but back then when wb’s were shorter diam. made the difference for the capacity. You just didn’t have the frame space then.

    29's in good shape are hard to find..especially if your wanting authentic Peterbilt tanks
    I've got some 26" peterbilt tanks & saddles I might be willing to part with

    The 90 gals. on my ‘67 are 26”. They use the pn# 11-600 A saddle. Some may have an A after the number for aluminum or S for steel. The straps for the 29” will need to be shortened.

    The 90 gals on my ‘73 352 coe are 29”s with the same saddles.
