If the DT-466 is rated 180 to 210 hp and geared even remotely close to right it will not be under-powered.
I hauled ready-mix two summers and part of a third. One group of trucks were '66 Whites with 165 hp Cummins and 5+4 transmissions. Huge crankshaft driven hyd pump out in front of the bumper to turn the drum sucking power any time the engine ran and while it was no speed demon I could run 50-60 mph loaded to 50,000-52,000#. And 55-65 empty at 22,000#. Pump still sucked power even when the drum didn't turn.
First year I drove '74 Diamond Reo, 208 hp Cummins 555, 5-spd Allison and 3-speed Brownie. Same big pump, but larger 8-9 yard drum but only licensed to 50,000# but got loaded to 52,000# frequently and 55,000# a couple times. Once again, no speed demon but ran 50-60 loaded and 55-65 empty.
I see absolutely no reason a single axle dump needs more power than either one of those ten-wheelers. The township I worked for before the ready-mix co. had 366-powered C-65 trucks, probably 160-170 hp and that was plenty of power loaded to 34,000#.
