351A Pete

[Truck Shop]

Seller had a title, but is having to file for new because he can't find it. But I'm sure he will get it.
$6,500 minus the bed and hoist, which I didn't want. Supposedly it's been converted to 12V. I
have two choices for main box 9 or 10 speed, either one will work fine, but I also have a 8341G
auxiliary which is a progressive, gears evenly spaced, great for on road. But will only use direct
& overdrive with top direct gears of main box. Will repair interior, paint it, leave the 8V71 {has
jakes}, manual steering. want to keep it close to original with one stack.

40,000 lb Hendrickson {beam biscuit}.
If by my plans, it will end as a logger. Same paint color/scheme, with a steel logger bumper.
I have a vintage oem visor, want to keep it as original, plus looking as possible, very few
polished items.

These in this condition unmolested are getting really hard to find, especially for this
price. Also have a complete radiator with grille shroud available like this one below.

Can license with a collectors plate and liability insure with mileage capped at 5000 a year for
around $100 with State Farm. Just to get from show to show, which there are about six shows
within a radius that will only cover about 1,800 miles total.

Contacted Lavin, he has the old Pete micro phish build sheets.
Both boxes are overdrive giving it a total of .68 overdrive with both in top hole.
Rear drives are Rockwell SSHD's 6.14 ratio. With the heavy duty aluminum frame.
with 38,000 lb Hendrickson beam biscuit.
Truck was part of Redwood Construction Loggers fleet, and one of a total lot buy
of 20. California Oregon based.

I saw that same some years back, but what's interesting is those plus mine are
spec'd with one 5" stack, unlike most powered with 8V71's.
I will either change ring/pinions to 4.11 staying with the SSHD's or have double
overdrive boxes. If I change to 4.11's I can use a RT direct 9 or 10 and have the
overdrive in a .80 with the 8341G auxiliary and still have 67 mph top speed depending
on tire size.

That is a sweet project. I had the ratio charts and remember the 8341 when I was dreaming of an MDT tow rig.

Yeah the 8341's were for 335 and down horsepower single counter shaft. Next was the
1241's rated for 400 horsepower/torque range after that came the 1750's for high torque
horsepower. Both 1241 & 1750 are twin counter shaft models, and can incorporate a PTO
Power Tower--as was called.
