Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That really is a very nice heavy Chevy. Do you know the story on it? I'd guess it is a diesel by the stack and probably not a Detroit. Might be a 3208. What years did they offer the John Deere engine?

The Deere diesel was offered very briefly in 1985.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Thanks Bob. I did do a Google search after asking. It seems there were a couple cases where GM, Detroit, and JD tried mingling. Pretty neat. Too bad they couldn't get anything put out. I read some about the "Big Al", Allis Chalmers, truck engine too.

I know it's not a C or K40-90 but it sure has the 67-72 medium duty front end and 67-72 pickup body on it. Apparently it's Big Stuff lol and, it's making me hungry for a Biggie Cheese from Sonic lol enjoy

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That's a great picture. I like to see that folks have been keeping these trucks alive all along, nothing new. You should post this picture in the 67-72 forum in the vintage pictures thread

The 71 C50 had a 350 in it and a 4 speed, vacuum brakes, Already had the engine rebuilt once and it's only 4 years old in this picture (1975), Had had a honey dipper on it when we got it. Took quite a while to get rid of the "scent"

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
People look today at what gas engines powered many medium and bigger trucks and wonder how they did that. It was what they had and they got the job done. The smaller motors could strain through it but you didn't expect huge miles out of it.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Still amazes me how Chevy had only 235-6's in their Tractor-Trailers back in the early 50's but like you say, they got the job done.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
The thing back then was how to build them to last. That's what these big-gas motors come out of. Look at the gas motors GMC was making back then, on through to the V6s. Some serious iron, true truck engines

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I don't know why GMC didn't lend out some of it's engines to Chevy back then.
That 503-6 was pretty cool and powerful to boot.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Some heavier series Chevy's did use the GMC V6 and GMC toroflow diesel, specs from a 1969 brochure.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
In the 50's, Chevy and GMC really didn't compete with each other outside of light duty and medium duty up to about 2.5T. GMC's were more expensive, and Chevy really didn't offer any heavy duty trucks aside from a few medium duty gasoline tandems. Even in the 60's Chevys had 53 series Detroits and Toroflows, but no 71 series diesels. That changed in 1970 when GM rebadged all the heavy duty GMC's and franchised Chevy dealers to sell them.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Right, later on in time they finally did.
But they should have started much earlier in the 50's. Although you could get a 4-53 Detroit in a Chevy in the later part of the '60-'66 Mediums but yet not in a GMC. That was one example that was backwards, lol.
