Diesels in '67-'72's. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Legend has it a very few '67 GMC pickups were built with the Toro-Flow diesel, a V-6 based on the big GMC V-6's. I don't know if I believe that, but I know some Toro-Flows were swapped in '67 3/4 tons by owners or maybe dealers. Anyway, I have been thinking about sticking a 6.2L or 6.5L G.M. diesel in one of these trucks. Those engine weigh about the same as a Big Block, they are about the same size, the bellhousing bolt pattern is the regular Chevy style, and I think the motor mounts are in the same place as a Chevy V-8. The turbocharged versions might present some plumbing problems, but one of the non-turbo 6.5L's might just about be a bolt-in.
