4 cylinder '67 C-10
I heard a rumor that a few '67 C-10 short bed trucks were built with the 153 inch Chevy II 4 cylinder (BTW- that engine is still manufactured for Mercury Marine and industrial applications). Supposed to be some special fleet deal. Anyone know for sure?

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
Never heard of it -- if true, I wonder if it could have been for specialized applications such as mining or railroad.......?

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
I've never seen a full sized truck with a 4 cylinder engine. But, as I've mentioned before, you could order any option with these trucks -especially if it was a fleet order. So, it is possible.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
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 Last edited by Longhorn Man; 02-27-2009 at 08:00 PM. |

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
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.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
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. Mike. ![]() |

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
There it is. The engine that is. I would like to find one, just to have it.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
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.

Check some old forklifts, they sometimes use those engines.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
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?

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
Heck yes! I plan on doing a 453T swap into a K30 in the eventual future.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
many diesels were 2 stroke... some are still on the road today.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
A lot of diesels are 2 stroke, just not typically not in trucks. Locomotives (especially the smaller ones) & many non-ocean going vessels are all 2 stroke diesels.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
When I was in 'Nam, we had an opportunity to go to Bangkok for 3 days. While there, I also had an opportunity to do the floating market tour and did. The boat we were on resembled the tugboat in the Golden Book about the Little Tug Boat, but the engine in it was a single-cylinder diesel. Don't know if it was a 2 or 4-cycle, but it was a diesel.
On the island of Taiwan, their common "truck" was a three-wheeled vehicle that did have a single-cylinder 2-stroke diesel. It would putt-putt-putt as it went down the road at some ungodly speed of 15MPH. They carried a stack of rice in burlap bags that had to be 8-ft high in the bed of the truck. I drove a Gamma Goat in the Army Guard. It had a 3-53 diesel in it. I wanted to find one and put it in a Chevy truck to hook up to an SM420 or SM465 gearbox. I love to listen to one of the Detroit Diesel engines in the big trucks of the sixties/seventies. Somebody posted a YouTube link on here where one of them was accelerating away from the camera. It was cool. But the basis for this post is the little 153 gasoline 4-banger, later known by Pontiac as the Iron Duke, and installed in Astre's (Pontiac's version of the Vega).

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
is this engine the same as the 2.5 pontiac iron duke? That was a 151 cubic inch engine...
Once it was a 2.5 in the late 70's, it went into everything, and is actually worth some money as a rebuildible core today. It was in the monzas and the clone cars S-10 Camaro/firebird (82 - 85ish) Celebrity Citation Lumina postal trucks and maybe in the cavalier too |

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
You know...anything is possible. You guys remember in the 80's when they were dropping 4 cyls in Firebirds and Camaro's? If the was a 4 in a truck....talk about a worthless turd. Like the 80's F Bodies....could pull themselves out of their own way.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
I am 99% positive the chevette never got the 2.5 the Vega probably did, and I actually ment to put it on that list.

Re: 4 cylinder '67 C-10
AMC used the 2.5 in several of their cars too. Worked on an amc eagle with one. With that heater box the distributor was next to impossible to get to.
