Great post. The "good old days" had some advantages but I wouldn't want to go through them again. LOL...I was a lot tougher in those days. And younger. And maybe a little dumber?

I remember when he bought that truck. For a while there I thought you changed your user name to x1Heavy and kept your avatar. But I figured it out after a while.

Amazing. This is something I really really want to learn how to do. In an '86 359 with a 3406 CAT.

You swapped that in right @wore? Have you ever seen a 359 with factory twin sticks? Not alot of room there as you know. Iirc you chose a single stick because of that?

In my 85 I did yes. The 86 my uncle bought new and was ordered with no air horns, 7 ICC lights, a 425 3406 and the 6x4 spicer with 3.55's on tall rubber. I think it to be one of the last factory white motors but haven't been able to confirm when paccar actually stopped that. You are right there isn't a lot of room
