Problem was it was not for sale yet, but maybe soon. I left my number and they called a year or two later. Went to see it and learned it was a '79 model, Low Miles with a 5 & 2 and Air Brakes. I always thought it was a 6V-53, but once I opened the hood I saw a 3208 Cat. Well even though it had a great price of only $4000, without it being a Detroit, I let it pass, lol.

I have driven a few trucks with 3208 and 3208T engines. It is a very different experience than driving a 6v-53. The 3208T was 250 HP so that was nice but just wasn’t a Jimmy.
