That thing would have a Detroit right? Maybe a 12V71.

In those days only the 4090 had a 12V71, that's a 4070 and Cummins 855 or A/B model cat.
If it did have a Detroit it would have been a 8V92.

1985 demo single white arch was saved it was Cat hq building at 800 Davis St San Leandro,it was a major complex Caterpillar shared space with IH & Peterbilt. Peterbilt moved to Fremont than Tx. IH Emeryville CA truck plant is now Pixar cartoons. Car dealership,Home Depot & apartments replaced it all

I think they made a few COE Transtar Eagle's that had a 12v71. I read you could tell by the twin stacks if the truck was stock.

You may have already covered this earlier.

Most or a high percentage who worked any trade jobs for a living--had a rigorous life
at some point. And the older we get the hill we climbed walking backwards in -60 snow
storms on our way to school seems to get longer, colder & steeper as time goes by.
And never remember snaring their nuts on the lawn sprinkler they forgot to move out of
the way after removing garden hose to hook to the 60's boomer toy Wham-O-Slip-n-Slide.

My favorite saying is " The older I get the better I was"

Heavy on the "was".

The pig in the python theory is pretty much spot on---and as time goes by the python
is getting slimer, it's had a hard time pushing those bellies full of a extra sausage patty
with B&G through.

Stoved up? A cracker will make you feel great

If it wasn't for P.I.E. jimmy would have suffered greatly. Those years of GMC, Ford & Dodge
were---well troubling.

 

[Deere500a]

P.I.E YouTube has videos. West Coast 270 Cummins or gm 318 & Cali 9spd. GM was involved in everything needing a diesel

 

[Truck Shop]

Yeah--I've seen all those videos, reason detroit sold so many was it was cheap.
A detroit powered unit was thousands less to buy. But I like to remember who
made the biggest improvement to trucks, Classy Cummins with the engine brake
built by his friend at Jacobs Chuck.

Added to much weight, only OO's bought those, fleets never bothered, and were expensive option.

Well should have bid no clue what I'd do with her but with a pick up cab put a slide in camper on her & fog the camp grounds

 

[Deere500a]

Similar idea for Chevy c90 but less class

Those Live-Labs were a total flop.
