went to a Semi Truck from Thursday till Saturday Show in Kenly NC @ Petro's Truck Stop and this was parked to us,

Now look and see what's under the hood of this 64, Isuzu Diesel With a 5 Speed, 2.48 Gear and told me 35 MPG on I-95,, says used a Samauri Suziki ? Rear Disc Brake in which he said is same bolt pattern as the Ford Truck and made a bracket for the rear caliper

Isuzu made a lot of different diesel engines, any idea which one is in the slick?

My neighbour has a GMC Cabover deck truck (rebadged Isuzu), it has a 5.2L Inline 4 Diesel (that's 318 Cubes in a 4 cyllinder kids!!)

If you could fit it under the hood, I'm sure it would pull a Slick down the road JUST FINE:)

No James did not tell me what year, they run a trucking company over in Zebulon and had a lot of spare parts and scrap a lot with their dump trucks,, when looking in person if fits in real good, the 5 speed is not a overdrive since the truck is geared real high
