Very similar, 59 needle nose Pete with a small cam - same 12 gallons. Interesting truck as it was cab kit on 53 Autocar aluminum frame rails with a LOT of aluminum parts. Was tanking, so tankers want gross and we were bridge formula state back then. MAX at 73,600.
23,400 tare - truck & trailer (tanks). Now days it would be in the ultra-light category
Yeah, I had a Peterbilt (company truck) that weighed 20,000# tractor only with 3/4 tank of fuel and me sitting in it. Smooth bore tanker weighed about 13,000 and dry bulk around 10,000. The new stuff is way heavier, but the truck had a dry bulk blower which weighs about 1,000.
