With the floatation tires and projecting front bumper, and space behind the cab, this is a concrete mixer. Pink and white were Kaiser Permanente Concrete's colors. The 341 was specifically a vocational chassis for mixer and dump applications that used smaller engines than over the road trucks. Note that the fender skirt behind the fender extends all the way past the door hinge. On the longer-hooded 351 it doesn't make it that far, as there is more hood. -- Last edit: 2020-10-09 12:10:20
