HeavyGunner Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Awesome truck.  Were there short hood and long hood versions of the 359? If so I’d guess you have the shirt hood. Used to watch many Pete’s like that all dressed up to go logging. Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Used to watch many Pete’s like that all dressed up to go logging. It's a short hood. Someone may correct me on this but I think on the 359 the long hoods were only to be able to accommodate certain engine options Edited August 27, 2019 by Ezrider Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58784-guess-what-i-bought-from-1-picture/#findComment-430931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them vertical as well. A lot of modern Pete drivers that sit on the floor need them vertical so the blades don't block their line of sight! 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
