4 cylinder '67 C-10

[Longhorn Man]

where did you hear this rumor?
I guess there could have been a handfull of COPO trucks with this set up.... but I'd wanna see a SPID before even considering it to be fact myself.
I'm funny like that, believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear

[Bob B.]

I haver never seen such a truck, it is just something someone told me years ago. I agree, I would need to see a SPID before I believed it.

[100%Chevy]

I've also heard of it-but in the early 60's trucks.
I have a 140 h.p.(153 cu.i.) Mercruiser engine.Why shouldn't it work as a truck engine?
I know it isn't as powerful,but for light duty use,I don't see why not!
I've never actually seen one either.

There it is. The engine that is. I would like to find one, just to have it.

I know that my '69 Truck Data Manual doesn't list the 4-cyl in the C-10 series of trucks. It isn't listed, nor priced, in that series. My memory doesn't recall that they were offered in the G-series vans, either, at least in '69.

Now, a 4-cyl diesel? Yeah, but not in the C/K-10/20/30 series trucks. But, if you wanted a P-series van, some models did offer the 4-cyl diesel.

For what it's worth, the 2nd Chevy II that I owned was a model 300 4-dr, that had the 4-cyl engine, powerglide transmission and a 4.11 Positrac rearend. I wonder how many were made like that. Yeah, the 4-cyl was the standard engine, but the options on that car also included 2-tone paint, AM radio and deluxe heater. Geeze, I wish I had it back.

The 153 was available in the early G van from 1963 to 1965. It was also available in the rare P-1000 1/2 ton Stepvan during those years as well. In 1967 and 68, the Detroit Diesel 3 cylinder 2 stroke 3-53 diesel was available in 2500 and 3500 Stepvans. I think 4 cylinder 4-53 was availble for many years in the 50 and 60 series Chevys.

Good note, Bob B. It makes sense that this engine would be offered in the early model G-vans, since they were intended to replace the Corvan series that was discontinued with their introduction.

A 4-53 in 50 and 60-series sounds like it may have been underpowered, but my experience in driving a '74 C-65 with triple axles, tall-deck 427, and a 5-speed with 4-speed auxillary box, says it wasn't much better. Hauling nearly 20 tons of "stuff" left me looking for a better gearbox setup, but it wasn't my truck and I was just trying to make ends meet after being laid off in '75......kinda like things are now, huh?

A 2 stroke diesel? I'm a bit confused. Is there such a beast?

Check some old forklifts, they sometimes use those engines.
