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. 

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.

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

According to Wickerpedia, you're correct. In 1987 they replaced it with the 379.

These are the two 359's that I drove for my farmer friend for years until he replaced them with a couple 379's. Black one is an '85 and the green one is an '83.

It was a 3406, 400 with a 15speed deep reduction. The DR was a flip switch on the dash on the passenger side.   

Another angle of it.

I had some old Pete brochures and my recollection is that the trucks were photographed with the wiper blade in the horizontal position.

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!

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
