We had a single axle IH, short wheel base with a dump body, DT 466 and a 10 speed. Great for small jobs and tight places. I thought it was a good combination, plenty of power with a full load on, the 10 speed was a good match for it, that 13 ought to be even better. The only drawback may be that the 466 might be a tad small for a larger truck like a tandem, so it may not seem as powerful when loaded, but having a 13 spd should help that. I can remember many retired state highway trucks of that era around here, rusted beyond belief, even for a mall parking lot or winter snow removal jobs where many of them were bought and used for that purpose after the state got rid of them, one place I worked had 2 of them and they'd leave a trail of big rust flakes into the garage, probably from spreading salt on the roads etc., I'd also imagine along the coastal areas they did like Walt said, too bad as they were good and inexpensive trucks, hopefully yours has survived without the excessive rust.
