Well...My dream of being an owner operator have dwindled down to this.
A 1974 Peterbilt 359 and a set of bottom dump trailers
The truck belongs to a friend of my fathers. I have not seen it yet.
My 79 year old father who knows nothing about trucks did look at it yesterday.
The owner opened the hood. Told my dad that it was a V8, dad said it was green. Green V8 = 8v71/8v92. I know nothing about these other than they were called "Screamin Demons" and consumed large amounts of SAE40 oil.
How troublesome are these engines?
Dad climbed into the cab, not really knowing what he was looking at but did notice that it had 2 shifters.
Owner said it is a 5+4.
I've never driven anything like this before! Am I gonna die? Shouldn't this thing be in a museum?
All joking aside the price is right. I will look at it this week and try to figure out exactly what it is/has.
