My First Over Height Load - 14'2"

That was back when 300 hp was considered powerful for an OTR truck. We had about 260 IIRC.

 

Pretty sure @1951 ford put up a pic of one yesterday morning

 

Yes a 3208 would be the definition of gutless.

 

No I've seen them in little service trucks, 613 scrapers, generators and many other things. Your 6.7 would put them to shame. Throw away Cat wasn't a term of endearment.

 

I'm hearing ya man. Just Slamming doors was getting to me before I was put off for a spell. The only enjoyable part is the driving. I do miss the challenge of trains

 

When i worked for the railroad i heard that term often "throw away Cat" and it was true, 671 detroit ruled back then.
The 3208 did do well in boat applications at the 375 HP but when they turned it up to 425 HP it didn't do well.

 

And no matter how bad it is, there's always a crowd ready to snatch one up.

 

Yep. Bad head, hole in the block and a bad transmission. It had direct but no overdrive.
