What a beauty. Been looking at some older 359 day cabs with big cam cummins for myself. Great looking trucks, and you cant beat the prices.
I would rather run a older rig that has fresh motor, trannies, rears, tires, etc, than a newer model with tired motor, trannie, rears, etc.
Congrats, and post some pictures of it pulling a load! The C-15 is sweet.

My bro just bought a 85 ext. hood classic 63" sleeper 320" wheelbase with a V-8 cat & 6&4 trans. (that's right 2 sticks baby). The motor had an in frame & trans. & rears re-done & I think he gave round 50k-60k. He told me in 4&4 (gears he can run right at a 100mph. He also gets about 6 mpg unless he is running hard (but he will go to jail if he runs that truck hard). Very nice ride I always wants a 359 classic & lower it & chop the top to pull my GTX I think that would be bada$$.

#33 pictures are way cool,,,,very old school look with the single headlights, that grille and the stainless visor.
Is that the older narrow cab or is that an illusion caused by the visor?

I'd say buyer did good, and seller got lucky...
if it's a 3406 mechanical, you did REAL good, they make BIG power if played with right
not that I know anything about that...
