I have never seen one with 153 4 cylinder engine, but with the right axle ratio, I am sure it would be a great around town engine in a truck!
As far as the other 4 bangers go, the 'Shoveit' engine was a 1.6 and the Vega/Early Monza/Astre aluminum engine was a 2.3 litre engine. Sad thing with the Vega motor is if you sleeved them, they ran forever and a day, which was a lot longer than the body did on them here in the Midwest!!!
The 2.5 came in several flavors, but from what I can remember, there was the RWD version with the Chevrolet bellhousing pattern and the FWD version with the small metric bellhousing. As much as I hated those rattly,noisy, underpowered engines, they usually ran forever. They usually did not make enough power to blow themselves up!!!
