Identical to yesican lol.  Engines great, rest of the truck not so much.

1979 Bluebird Wanderlodge I'm reworking. And it has a 3208 Cat diesel. and it needs everything but the mechanicals are good.

 

[yesican]

Same with mine Bee...But, the engine has such a beautiful hum and I got more than 20mpg on my trip on the Denali hwy last year carrying an overhead camper.

I've got one. Haven't done anything except research so far though. Trying to save money. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/frown.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"> <br>Here's my post about it if you're interested. https://vanlivingforum.com/post/GMC-6.5-Turbo-6350434 <br>-Bruce

 

[adi]

97 Ford 7.3 diesel here (and only 65k to boot!)

@ 4BTDonutRoller, What rig do you have that engine in? The only vehicle I have seen them in are step vans, which I was originally looking for. <br><br>@ adi, Sounds like you have a lot of miles to go on your engine. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"> <br><br>@ rokguy, Yeah, from everything I have read about the 4BT Cummins, it would make an excellent engine for a small truck, "or" van. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"> It's fuel economy is legendary. <br>-Bruce

8.3L cummins/allison combo in a 92 Bluebird all american school bus (wanderlodge chassis).<br> I love it. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

 

[zemio]

Isuzu Elf with the non turbo 4BC2 light industrial donk, all 77 (when new...) kw's of it <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"> Smoky by nature and features a fine range of diesel type rattles. My mechanic assures me they are known for making huge milages slowly. It's bolted to 5 spd I really really wish had a hi/lo splitter but doesnt.

Hello Zemio, first allow me to say WELCOME you to the forum. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img"> <br>Which Isuzu Elf do you have? I looked them up and found they made anything from a dump &amp; box trucks to vans &amp; motor homes. <br>Are you in Australia?<br>-Bruce
