A 1981 Peterbilt 359 W/ Big cam 2 400 cummins

Here is one of wood recovery's trucks, which is where my dad works. This is the truck he haul chips with before he got the T800 with the drop axle and air ride suspension. If it wasn't for the T800 riding so nice, dad probably would of rather drive this. Because you can haul more with a drop axle, he really had no choice but to drive the t800 because of the setup it has where you can haul more. This truck mainly sits around, but is used as a backup truck just in case something happens or is used on side jobs like hauling scrap metal from one of wood recovery's mills, etc. This is powered with a 400 big cam 2 cummins and a RTO-12513 transmission. The motor came without a holset turbo but was repowered with one. One mod in the future when the truck is used again is to mess with the pump and get some extra fuel going through the lines. Not too aggressive, as if it was a 70 horsepower addon. As some of you guys can tell by the headache rack, it used to be a log truck once ago.

It's a really nice truck. If i had money and the boss at work wanted to sell it i'd buy it in a heartbeat. It just doesn't ride near as good as the T800 with air ride suspension hahaha.

This truck sounds nice. I never heard a big cam sound like that when you slowly rev it, sounds nothing like the Big Cam 3's or 4's I've been around.

this has a holset turbo on it like the big cam 3/4 has, it orginally didn't and because it does it has a nice whistle too it now. The turbos they used on big cam 1/2 hardly had a whistle too it at all!
