History
I found this truck on Truck Paper...it's located in Nebraska in Sioux City. Trying to figure out the 1674...I know the 1673 & 1693 out of 16 series engine family & I know all the 34 series engines,
especially the 3408 DI & PC. Here in the Hawaiian Islands during the 60's the common engines were
Detroit & Cummins. I think it was in 73 when J.M. Tanaka brought in a Pete 351A with a 1693 in it,
it "dusted" the 12V-71 coming up Kawaihae Road,
and this was back when you were able to run overloaded...no one checked... I'm considering buying this truck...I asked the seller for information on horsepower rating & if this was the other Class 8 V-8 because I'm not familiar with this engine...
