I was looking at that one (I am not interested in buying it, though!). The engine appears to be a Detroit 3-53 3 cylinder 2 stroke. Real good for converting diesel fuel into noise. Interestingly enough, the 3-53 was a regular option in P-2500 and P-3500 Step-Van chassis from '67 to '69.

If it ran I don't think it ran long as there is no fan for the rad. Although the truck itself doesn't look in to bad a shape.

All I got to say is that is a big 4 banger.:D It sures fills that engine bay. Decent looking truck. It would be a worker if it ran Iguess.

It has a factory-like auxilary tank.Were rhey available from factory in`67?I think not,could be wrong.That`s the second`67 GMC Custom I`ve seen w/small window in the last two days.So,I guess the "Panoramic" didn`t come standard on them(which is what I always thought).

Cool truck, I need one of those!

I don't think it's a 4. It's a triple.

If I was closer that SOB would be mine!!!!! I am going to put a 4-53 Detroit in a truck someday..............With 92 series injectors to wake them up, they'll run like a raped ape! About the only bad things about a two stoke Detroit is the noise and oil leaks. But they are long running engines and will take abuse like no other.

That looks like it would be a nightmare to start in cold weather. Can you say pop the hood and spray the ether...

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

Hopefully you plug it in before you have to resort to blowing the head off of it :metal:

The Cummins in my '71 C-20 is a hard starter when not plugged in, nature of the beast though. Atleast I can Idle my Cummins for a long time unlike the Detroit which shouldn't be idled any more than necessary.

Great for the highway!Those 2-strokes love to rev.I love to hear them sing.I wish somebody left that in my yard.

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

It has the same rear step bumper my 72 gmc has. It fits like it was custom built for it.

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

I had to get my dads Ford F-250 diesel going with ether quite a bit.............when it was about 70 degrees out! :lol: :crazy:

So far only 105 dollars. Detriot is worth 4 or 5 times that, at least!

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

That is what happens when you run a "Powerjoke", or even worse, a Pre-Powerjoke 7.3 or 6.9 :lol: Don't get me wrong, International built some great engines over the years, but IMO they have to be amoung the worst ever shipped out the door. Who ever heard of carrying cam position sensors and glow plug relays in the glove box in case they fail on the road..........

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

cool, I will be putting a cummins 4BT (4 banger version of the diesel used in the dodge RAM) in my 67 chevy a few months from now.

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

good deal!

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

Can't believe it sold for 180 bucks. That 3-53 is worth 2 or 3 times that un-rebuilt!

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

Someone got a great deal, I wish it had been closer.

WoW, call the Police, somebody stole that one :metal:

Re: Check out this truck with Deisel Engine
 

:metal: :metal: Wise move my Friend......... I put a 6AT3.4 Cummins(Small 6 cylinder) in my '71 C-20 and even though it is only 210 cubes, it will blow the doors off the '72 K-20 I just bought with a 454 Big Block. Of-course I tweaked the pump some :) You just can't beat looking in the mirror and seeing nothing but black.
