    GMC cab over trucks I believe and most but not all had two stroke Detroit engines. I'll try to get a pic on once I am not underway and have better internet connection.

    Wow 2 stroke diesels, what would epa and carb do if someone drove one now? It must have been loud as hell too.

    I remember them from when I was a kid, my Dad ran a 335 Cummings in a 1970 KW COE and a couple of his friends had old Whites with Detroit's in their trucks, very noisy and leaked a lot.
