I wish I could get my hands on one reasonably. I'd love to have in my '67 C-30.
Here are a few pickups with 6V53's.

Wow, I like that Ford truck with the Detroit, especially since it is mine!!!
Glad to see that there are more nutty people that like 6V53 Detroits...
It is our shop truck and we use it to plow snow and drive around town and get looks. We are in the process of putting a better power steering setup and 4L80E trans behind the Detroit to make it more driveable!!
The Detroit's have no injector pumps on them, you get more power by putting bigger injectors and changing the blower drive speed and cranking up the boost if it is turbocharged!!!Mine rips along pretty good except for the clutch slip under full throttle!!
Really nice to see my truck on a Chevrolet/GMC board
