If i was closer i'd be tempted to stop by and look at. Not that i REALLY NEAD it, but it would come in handy. I like driving them because people are always amazed at the fact that those old trucks still can do the job.

I had a 1970 GMC 7500 Dump Truck with 44,000 rears (Tandem) and 16,000 front axle, 6V-53T, 5 X 4 (20 speed) transmission(s), (A five speed box on the bell housing, and a 4 speed splitter in the drive line). Only had a 12 ft box w/ this goofy two ram setup...double framed from end to end. It was an ex-Wyoming State DOT plow truck. Tough as nails.

Used it as a truck to spread on mountain dirt roads in Colorado. (Berthoud to Ft. Collins )

Talk about loud. It was an ear splitter!

Power? Guess that depends on your definition. Maybe 225HP. Had to wind the Crap out of it to get up a mountain road. (This was in Colorado).

Those old 6v53's were a tough motor. The only thing that would kill them was getting too hot. Then they would crack heads. They Still would run.....Also had to keep the injector rack set right. I had that little "pick" to set the injectors. Still do. Still have the Detriot Service manuals as well...maybe I'll find a project someday. (If you ever get one and need tuneup specs..)

They sell for scrap prices any more out there. So you should get a good deal unless for some reason you have to have a Detriot.

My "Pickup" truck is a Ford LTL9000 with an old 400HP Cummins, 13spd, 46,000 rears, 18,000 front and a 16ft box.

Been there & done that with Old Detroits....so the answer is: No.
